[Unimatrix Q]

Like I said, you can "prove" anything by cherrypicking the evidence.

Maybe i'm wrong and interprete too much into things. I just think it's fun to speculate about future plot points.

People, can you PLEASE use Spoiler Tags if you're going to discuss Discovery outside of the Discovery Forum? Or better yet, take this conversation over there? Some of us aren't current on the show and would prefer not to read anything about the new episodes before we start them.

Not entirely — Margaret also does a pretty through job recapping virtually all the Early Voyages issues near the beginning of the novel, discussing the missions involving races seen in the comics like the Ngultor and others prior to the 2250s sections of the book.

Thank you for the correction. Obviously I'd forgotten about that.

YES - @Unimatrix Q none of this discussion needs to be in this thread. Please do not do it again. If you must discuss Discovery in relation to Trek Lit do so in the Discovery and Trek Lit thread that is marked for spoilers.

This is a clear rule within this forum, so I'm issuing a warning. It is incredibly unfair to everyone else who reads this forum.

I've also marked the all the posts with spoiler coding.

Spoiler: Discovery 2x02 "New Eden

Pike mentions his father was a science teacher who also taught a comparative religion course. It's a little ambiguous in the episode how much of his familiarity with Earth religious traditions in the episode is because of that, or if he himself subscribed to a particular faith. (I did react with an exasperated "Goddammit" when that tidbit came up, only exceeded later in the episode when they inexplicably used the Voyager doorbell sound for his ready room. I want to have a talk with whoever manages the sound design on DSC, because their salad-shooter approach to legacy Trek SFX is really disorienting).

Spoiler: doorbells and Christianity

If you think the doorbell was annoying, just wait until you see the door to Spock's Starbase 5 accommodation.

There were rumours floating around the darkest corners of Facebook and YouTube that DiscoPike will be devout Christian. Between "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's Starship" and Pike pretty such saying he's agnostic in "New Eden", I supect it's one rumour with a hint of truth to it.

Sorry about that. Won't happen again.
