Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x08 - "If Memory Serves"

[Succubint]

Well doesn't Riker tell that Irish lady that his ship is self cleaning? That said, I thought of Reno's "kids" and wondered if it was them, I didn't get a clear look at them.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Has anybody talked about the little robots cleaning up after the Tyler-Culber fight? Because there were freaking robots cleaning up the ship.

I don't recall seeing that before.

I read somewhere that they were Jett Reno's "kids".

 

[Gilora]

I read somewhere that they were Jett Reno's "kids".

When I saw them, I assumed those were hers.

For a good long time now it's been head canon for me that little service robots keep the ship spotless, although it was in TNG that I thought this. I'm super glad to see it is now a thing, and if Reno is the one that 'invents' them for the rest of Starfleet I'm all the happier!

 

[Tim Thomason]

I always figured that some sort of sonic sweep at periodic intervals, combined with porous construction material and bulk transportation was the primary means of self-cleaning.

But, yeah, robots are cooler.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

I think the robots for TOS era and your thoughts for TNG era would fit pretty well.

 

[Guy Gardener]

How could they explain something like that on screen?

How does someone in universe say “Don’t worry, it’s still the prime timeline”, without breaking the fourth wall?

Have someone say it’s a predestination paradox? That these time travel events always happened, are supposed to happen.

Post TNG Titan Riker arrives, in disguise as possibly a chef, looks around, kicks the tires, gives everyone, and the camera, a thumbs up, heads back to 2399, and then has lunch with Jean-Luc on the Picard Show.

At least in this latest episode he was addressing Burnham when he said 'Commander.' He was looking directly at her. I'd have to rewatch the previous week, but I'm sure it was the same since Spock was unconscious when Leland was in the room.

OK--I rewatched---I will give you this week. Last week he clearly says "we've given Commander Spock a sedative...." time time hack 23:50.

Did it look like this?

 

[Skipper]

Did it look like this?

Yes, but smaller.

 

[Tim Thomason]

I like to think, outside of disruptive incidents as seen in this episode, the robots only come out when no one is around.

So imagine it's the middle of night mode, and you saunter over to the nearest crew lounge. The lights turn on automatically, as six robots quickly scatter out of eyesight, almost before you notice them.

They're futuristic cockroaches.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

He going to start going by his middle name "Joe".

Or he'll move to a hut in the desert adjacent to the monastery where the baby is being raised and start using his Klingon middle name, B'Enn.

 

[cooleddie74]

That reference makes me want to drink some Guinness.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Gulber?

He has a line about not wanting anybody else to fix physical wounds that he can feel (and thus know are real)

 

[matthunter]

She's questioning your spelling, not the scene. It's Culber.

 

[thribs]

Stamnets did come off as really creepy in this episode with that smile.
The actor could probably play a good serial killer.

 

[cultcross]

Something I was left wondering this week - did the murders at the starbase just not happen and it was a big lie, or did s31 kill those three people for reasons? If the former, how did they get the starbase crew to go along with it, and if the latter, why did they need to die? They didn't know anything substantial.

Section 31 killed them I assume.

 

[Succubint]

Definitely a question I would like answered, too. After all, Amanda managed to steal Spock's medical file, so if the idea was to clean up loose threads, wouldn't his file have been removed or wiped as well?

No, it was necessary to paint Spock as mentally ill to make the murder appear plausible.
