Given the Black Alert, I would speculate they could be engineers assigned to specific parts of the ship during jumps, or, given their vanishing act, specialist navigators...once the tardigrade solution is discovered, you don’t don’t need them anymore.
Engineers with phaser rifles, who all appear to be junior members of the Lou Ferigno appreciation society. :lol:

Nah I'm pretty sure they were a part of a Section 31 idea that many speculated that Fuller was angling at. That concept likely disappeared when he did, and the black badges along with it.
 
Just goes to show how different people have different priorities when it comes to what they want from Star Trek. I personally couldn't give a warping fuck about whether something like the above is portrayed correctly.

It would not usually ruin my enjoyment, but I do appreciate it if they portray it correctly. It starts to bother me if the sense of scale and time is completely out of whack like in JJ Star Trek, and Star Wars.

I can't keep up with this thread, but here is what I saw:

Mirror Stamets is on Discovery. Our Stamets is on the Palace ship.

Nope. but you were not the only one who got confused. They edited this poorly.
 
I still have yet to understand what was up with the the black badge crewmembers. They were shown once and never seen again. That has to be explained or I'm certain to go into a rage about it.:techman:
Until they got it 100% operational (with the Tartigrade at first) the "Spore Drive" tech was so classified, only the small group of Engineers of the ship directly working with it were the ones who knew exactly what it was - the rest of the crew were just informed they were doing new propulsion experiments and the 'Black Alert' protocol.

The Black Badge security were there to keep non-essential crew out/away from the Spore Dive components and engineering spaces involved in operating it..

That's why it was edited that way, to show that OUR Stamets woke up, but in the wrong place! It was intentional. He opened his eyes and said "it worked" as in, his boyfriends advice to "wake up" worked just as he said it would. It won't take him long to figure out what's happened.

Mirror Stamets is on Discovery.

I never got that impression at all. I thought it was just Mirror Stamets waking up on his own ship.

If this is true, I'm eternally grateful that Fuller left when he did.
 
...ehhh maybe...but I'm pretty sure he just said "it worked"

A side note about Fuller, all this Cannibalism HAD to come from him.

No real consensus here, but a creative effort by each of you. Hopefully there is some sort of clarity directly from the show rather than just forgetting that it ever happened.
 
Section 31 don't wear black badges...because they don't even wear uniforms.

Black leather is more their style.
 
Really going to make me watch a bunch of commercials to prove you wrong, huh? Hang on...



He said it twice. :p
Ok, you win. Could you go back and check if he said "It worked"?
J/K

But I can still hear him saying it in my head.
I dunno if Voyager ever made it explicit whether the Hirogen ate their prey for that matter.
They mostly just threw them in a vat of toxic "dip" to retrieve their bones, nice and clean, but it wasn't Hirogen who ate poor Tosk.
