- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
It was sculpted by William Ordway Partridge in 1898. Its title is 'Peace.'
One way or another, the Klingon War ends tomorrow night.

Guess those tweets guessed wrong.
A Federation fleet shows up and unleashes millions of Tribbles on Qo'nos, thus bringing the Klingon Empire to its knees. You heard it here first.
Whee! A big hand-wavy resolution, comin' up!
That seems unlikely.
It's the gummy venus de milo, handcrafted by gummy artisans in the medium of gummy.
Georgiou will end the Klingon War by doing a tactic similar to this:

45 minutes to wrap up a war? It would take Discovery's crew 45 minutes of bickering just to sort out which room to argue in.
Aphrodite was Apollo's sister. Thus, the underlying spoiler is obviously that the Klingons will be stopped by a giant green space hand.
Will Michael recite the Rocky 4 speech? 
Anyway if Aaron really wants people to go beyond the title and "look more into this", wasn't the Greek goddess of peace Eirene, not Aphrodite? At least there's a lot less to go on regarding Eirene's heritage/background in Greek mythology - if it's some Aphrodite reference you could construct more hypothetical endings than even we here are capable of, given the huge number of stories/variations on the Aphrodite mythology! 
EDIT: Of course the Roman equivalent of Eirene was Pax....whose worship started under Augustus...hmmm....now where have I heard that name before
(Yes yes I know this is all just more fanwank but it's sunday morning...)

Has the official running time been announced? Was really hoping for a longer episode to finish everything up.
I don't think so. I expect anywhere from 28 minutes to 67 minutes.
Oh dear lord
I'd probably rage quit this show if it was that short.this statue is not of aphroditeAnyway if Aaron really wants people to go beyond the title and "look more into this", wasn't the Greek goddess of peace Eirene, not Aphrodite?

yeah that was my point. It's called Peace and I was merely drawing attention to the (poor) speculation going on induced by Aaron's second tweet. If the twittersphere is going to draw parallels with Greek/Roman mythology (and to re-iterate, it's not clear any such parallel is clear) then they can at least get the God of Peace correct.
EDIT - that should be "Goddess" not "God". If Aaron is not just doing an Isaacs and playing with fans' heads, then I think @Gov Kodos has provided the only historical context to the sculpture. Someone like that with good knowledge of the background of the sculpture etc is probably best placed to speculate....if there is anything truly in there to speculate about and it isn't Aaron playing games with us. I'm guessing twitter people jumped to conclusions regarding Greek mythology since TOS had done it (and the writers haven't exactly been original in many respects) but my 5 years of schoolboy Latin lessons (with some ancient Greek stuff thrown in for good measure) had simply come to my aid in my original posting...a google search then confirmed what I was already 95% sure of - that Aphrodite was not the Goddess of Peace; the sculpture indeed was exhibited with something else in mind. If there is any link with Greek mythology then what's in Eirone's hand may have relevance given the episode title but I think (as I said before) this is stretching things wayyyyy too much.
