I have I problem with the shades in principle.
It makes sense that people still use them.
It’s just the design.
I keep thinking, she went through some old sonic devices of the Doctor and kept them.
 
On a topic that has nothing to do with sunglasses, I really like the look of the ship. It’s pretty unconventional by Star Trek standards but it looks like a painting by Chris Foss or Peter Elson come to life.
 
Perhaps the Dr. can Control people with her eyes if she wants if she’s a Synth, and the sunglasses blocked that attempt so C-Oh could mindmeld with her.

I also think the reason why mindmelds hurt between Vulcans and other non Synths is because Synth on Synth mind melds are a data transfer, but Synth on Human is data and emotional transfer. Not fully compatible.

I think the Kir’Shara reminded Vulcans who they are
 
"I wear sunglasses now. Sunglasses are cool."

What's with this blindness thing now? Spock was blind for a while, just like he would have been a cripple had he had his leg sawed off for a while, or deaf if his eardrums popped and then somehow grew back. He had no vision and was bumping into things, nearly poking out everybody else's eyes with those ears of his. This is not a practical method for coping with hard sunlight.

From which it directly follows that Vulcans need sunglasses when it's bright. Or stetsons. Heck, perhaps the bowl cut helps there, too?

Now, the only question here is, was the blindness the result of Spock's half-breed eyelids malfunctioning somehow? Or do all Vulcans go blind when it's shiny? Spock may be a mongrel, but he's not an idiot: he might have been expected to recognize a correctly working Vulcan feature even if it was merely something he read on his dossier two weeks after his birth, under "Features, probably lacks".

Okay, not the only question. The real one is, where were all the shades until now? It doesn't make much sense not to wear them. Unless you have special eyes that can cope, or a good doctor who repairs the eyes every few years. And both are obvious Trek options.

I don't have time to read 93 pages, I was late watching this week.

A solid 8 from me, I love the EMH.

Are EMH's synths or not? Either they are ok or Rios has an illegal one.

Also what accent was he meant to be doing it started off sounding English then became Irish.

He has multiple EH's who are apparently distinguishable by accent. The other one is his Emergency Navigation Hologram.

We met two separate holograms. The first was the emergency medical hologram, with an English accent (that one is pretty much Cabrera's normal speaking voice; he went to school in London). The second was an emergency navigational hologram, with an Irish accent.

Thanks, I had failed to spot it was 2 different programs.
 
Took me a while to catch it too. I had to roll it back to figure out what was happening there. EMH sounds a lot like ENH.

They look like ones my mom use to wear in the '60s.

We met a functioning Human Hologram in the very first episode at the Archive.

So obviously Synth's and EH's are not considered to be the same thing.


And that makes sense since all of Star Fleet Starships have active AI's installed in their computers helping to run the systems keeping the crew alive.
They just don't have holograph body's.

You HAVE to read all 93+ pages. :D
There are two holograms, one EMH (medical) another ENH (navigational). There are probably few more on the ship, we haven't seen yet.
I didn't spot it on first viewing either.
 
Do you really need a navigation hologram? The ship's computer runs the navigation and drive systems and the holograms, so does it make sense for the computer to run a hologram program to push buttons on a console when the computer could just cut out the middle man and do the navigating itself?
