I love how the Andorian and the Tellarite stand on opposite ends! They'll never really freakin' trust each other.

Okay, good point.
No more than most leads.
"I need Jim Kirk."
I wonder if the name of S31's AI creator eventually comes up as Soong.
Arik was thinking in that direction when last we saw him.

Reminds of the old bit about movies stars
Get me Jim Kirk
Get me someone like Jim Kirk
Get me a young Jim Kirk
I actually think once the heroes win, Cornwell will drop his* name. Something like she holds out a TOS style data tape and says, "This is all that's left of Control. Starfleet has decided it pass if off to a prominent Federation scientist named Soong."
*I don't think it will be either Arik or Noonian
"Oh, please," says Kirk who's upset that his Shore Leave was cancelled.

There are actually the only people that we are reasonably sure future Control has killed. A logic extremist and her cronies. Are we really sure that future Control is the bad guy here?
Well, the idea that Control is actually working against a Vulcan extremist conspiracy does bring up an interesting point: Spock wonders how he became the focal point. And the one defining thing of Spock's life isn't his career aboard the Enterprise or his friendship with Kirk, it's unification - the one thing to which Logicals would be most opposed. And unification is very likely to play a prominent role in the Picard series.
With all due respect, your the one that bought it up in the first place. If you just found it unfunny you could of just ignored it.
To universally call it unfunny is a little presumptious as humour is subjective.
Might not be your taste and a few others meh that is your right.
Any this is off topic so not continuing this in the thread. Good day and no hard feelings
That's an interesting wrinkle. But why would a logic extremist want to wipe out the galaxy? Take control of the Federation and push the UFP more towards logic, I could see. And it seems to be working by the 24th Century where Humanity becomes less passionate. But galactic mass-extinction is something else. There's a missing piece of the puzzle. The Extremist Admiral might have wanted to start something, then whatever it was went horribly wrong.
*Yep. Arik's son/daughter or grandson/granddaughter, despite how long we know Noonian lived, but that was much later what with better medical technology.
I can't remember exactly where, but it was mentioned around the time Season 1 Episode 3 went up that Airiam might be a "New Human". In the TMP novelization, New Humans were transhumanists - people who chose to augment themselves technologically not merely to correct disabilities, but as a way to become something more than just human. Something undefined had happened in the past that had caused them to be banned from serving in Starfleet, and my guess now is that that something is what we just witnessed with Airiam. I don't believe that she was injured badly in whatever happened to her husband. I think that maybe in the process of grieving and soul-searching afterward, she joined the New Humans.
I doubt they will, but I could almost see how this could head toward an episode making banning transhumanists from Starfleet service analogous with the recent reinstatement of a ban on transsexual people in the US military, if the showrunners wanted to.
You made me go research the Kitty Hawk. That incident is certainly interesting , but I also learned about the Kitty Hawk riots, which I had never heard of. Thanks.

It occurred to me that calling out around the bridge for different people to decide the next pattern was something that Riker *should* have done when worried about Picard/Locutus knowing too much about how he thought - and Frakes directed this episode. Could it be that he second-guessed the writing on his old episode and that played a role here?
This isn't a canon interpretation of that phrase, and you know it.

Spock is convinced what the received in his mind meld is the truth. But then again, all he could tell about the Red Angel was that it was human. One of the running themes of this season in particular, and Disco in general is that what we see shouldn't necessarily be take at face value. There's not a lot about what we've seen of future Control that presents it as a genocidal monster.

Interesting that in the next Episode a modded transporter seems to play an important part.
Actually, the Andorians were in a long cold war with the Vulcans and here once they are together, it is the wonderful thing about ENT

sad Admiral Shukar died
Memory Alpha says the Andorian we just saw was not Shukar (and the Tellarite wasn't Gorch).
So Riley Gilchrist must simply like playing multiple Andorians, kind of like Harry Judge has played at least three Tellarites (Gorch, the bounty hunter from "The Escape Artist", and this one)...

I agree. To attack a person's joke is passive-aggressive. A de facto "ad hominem" attack intended to bully and belittle. The proper thing to do is just ignore jokes one finds unfunny.
Fortunately all my jokes are hilarious!
