Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"

With the DS9 crew being the exception. They had to learn to fly the Jem'Hadar ship.

 

... and a certain commander tucker got problems wit that suliban cell ship if - and only if - i remember that correctly

 

....an extremely difficult concept.

 

They are nahard to get by.

 

Travis was more skilled at flying Suliban cell ships than he was at character development. He could pilot anything except, apparently, more than one or two episodes of his own.

 

My problem was, shut the door beam her ass out. Transporter worked stil to pull Spock out of the shuttle, Save the Admirals ass sacrifice a Redshirt. They are designe to die anyway

 

My thinking is that it's probably not very wise to expend a massive amount of displacement energy next to a rather large unexploded and probably very touchy missile/torpedo about to go off.
You might just end up not only transporting the person, but a large part of the energy from the explosion you just ignited into your transporter room!


Beside if using the transporter were possible, they would have just beamed the thing into space away from the ship.

 

heh...
They are probably programmed to not get themselves blowed-up.

 

Forget their look, redesign their behavior!

 

No opposable thumb.

 

No one could bring themselves to give the order, they're too cute!

 

Yes, plus there was that episode where he was presumed dead and the other where he was sick...

 

That question will plague generations of Discovery fans...

 

I've always wished Enterprise ended with Archer stepping behind Mayweather, opening a valve on the back of his neck, letting the air out of him and stuffing him back into his box.

 

Yes, they got Asimov's Laws of robotics backward...

1) A robot must stay functional
2) A robot must obey a human being unless it conflicts with 1)
3) A robot must save a human being in danger unless it conflicts with 1) or 2)

 

I remember reading these in a tech magazine in a version that had the added explanation/clause of "Because robots cost a fortune" at the end of each rule.

 

A few things on reflection.

I am not dissapointed we never returned to May because I didn't really like her, but it feels like something that should have been delt with and that was the reason they stopped using the spore drive.

Why did we get Jet Reno having a time vision of the torpedo? Nothing came of that either.

Does control take over Discovery's core fuse with the sphere and Ariams memories and become Zora?

I am happy with the ending but would have liked a glimpse of what awaits DSC before having to wait a year for the next episode.

 

These year-long waits suck.

 

Probably the biggest logical issue of this entire season arc: In the beginning, Starfleet picked up 7 signals. So they knew where they all were.

Only for each of them "suddenly" and "unexpected" appearing in places (like Boreth, and especially the final) later on? Huh?

That didn't work out at all.

Rule of cool.

That's just a simple pre-destination-paradoxon. She knew whom to pick up, because these people were already helping her.

I wouldn't hold this one against DIS - these problems appear in all time travel stories.

Yeah.... I've come to the conclusion that trying to "think" with the plot as it occurss on DIS is a wasted effort. They clearly just want you to "follow the ride". Which is - admittedly - very entertaining. But if you try to think about plot threads inbetween episodes, you gonna' have a bad time, because in the end it won't work out, and they pack crucial backstory right in the last episode where it's immediately needed to solve the plot. No built-up or resolutions - just a carneval ride of awesome things happening one after the other, with only the loosest connection between them.
