Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
She didn't come back, the 7th signal was sent through time to appear at just the right moment.
Or not have a single glass ceiling to stop any amount of incredibly heavy metal debris that could fall, or an entire turboelevator car itself.
I know Starfleet likes their pretty windows everywhere but damn.
I thought it was falling ... rocks
There were certainly a lot of rocks.
As a resident of Mojave, California, Pike might speak Spanish natively, and the universal translator just glitched out for a second.
There was a woman in a red uniform at another bridge station with a few lines in both part one and part two, who had some of Colt's mannerisms (particularly a squint while talking) that make me think she was her.

It's the height of folly if you ask me, plus he could easily have kept one ship back just in case the attempt failed.
Won't surprise me if Control stowed away aboard the Discovery, he was on board for a time.
Except for all the times a crew had to do data recovery and it worked exactly that way. The tech advisers during the TNG era were pretty good about keeping the computer stuff realistic, to the point that some episodes where Geordi was supposed to come up with a brilliant, out of the box solution, it turns out to be something that anyone with a PC today would know to do.
"Regular ship shake".
Is that when it does it to a beat?
Kinda curious about that blast door which happily ignored a torpedo detonation only feet away, why can't they build whole ships out of that stuff?
I think TNG now resonates differently than it used to, also. I was very suprised awhile ago to find one of my daughters really likes watching Bob Ross on Netflix. I knew who Bob Ross was, but for me it conjured memories of my mother, who was a good artist in her own right, getting out her gesso'd canvas and easle and Bob Ross brand paints and brushes and having fun trying to do her own Bob Ross painting while watching along, or pausing the tape. I wasn't into Bob Ross. I didn't hate him. Who could? He was just the most mellow guy on TV, on a PBS late afternoon block that included a Joy of Painting and one other how-to-paint show with watercolors, as I recall.
Now people watch him to relax. I suspect a lot of people watch TNG to mellow out. It's interesting. It plays well in the background. you don't have to take it too seriously. It looks gorgeously dated instead of horribly dated, most of the time. I don't know if the newer watchers are skipping the boring bits for exceptional episodes like Inner Light or Drumhead or just got it all playing back to back. No way to know really. How the Picard series goes over might be an indicator. I like TNG better now than I did back in the 80s and early 90s, actually. I don't want to sound like I'm dismissing it.
Discovery has been a different animal altogether. Kurtzman called it "a bullet" and i think that sums it up. This show comes out of nowhere, does not slow down, sometime ricochets. It had the name Star Trek, and it IS Star Trek but it's different and for a lot of us and especally new audiences, that's good. I am glad it's getting into a new era where we can have new worlds to explore too without getting too tied up in the old politics, old species. I think there's still a lot that can be done in both the 23rd and 24th centuries, (for that matter, i'd love a romulan war miniseries one day), and I dont have any doubt CBS or Paramount will leave that territory alone forever.
I assumed that the crystal only needed that massive amount of power to be able to open the final wormhole to the far distant future.
All the other jumps were in fairly close proximity to her location and within a time period of about a quarter of a century.

Which should now have been broken but I am not so sure it is to be honest.
Would Control really be so stupid as to not have a backup put away for safekeeping, or use the time it was on the Discovery to duplicate itself ensuring it makes it to the future.
@T'Bonz knows about the situation. But Disco's not coming back until 2020, so I think we're good at least for a little bit.
I'm thinking that when the blast door is fully closed it also has some kind of energy field to redirect any explosion away from it.
Anyway, most of the power from the torpedoes detonation was going to be forced back out the opening toward the bow, following the path of least resistance.
That's the same thing I was thinking.
