Spoilers Episode 7 "Nepenthe"

[picardjean-luc]

Oh no. It's going to be Mudd, isn't it?

A few minutes of thinking about how he's even older than Picard, and I'm already convinced.

I thought Crandall is the latest nickname adapted by Q. He's an immortal being, so that qualifies him to be 'older than Picard' .

Qrandall.

They like playing with names, but a quick Google search didn't turn out anything that looked significant.
ETA: There was a physiist/ computer specialist, who wrote a thesis on randomness and wrote a program that could bluff.. but, well...

Jurati was trying to kill herself but the EMH activated in time and saved her. When she "died" the tracker stopped, but she was brought back to life by the EMH.

 

[cooleddie74]

At least she has a conscience. Not every programmed or blackmailed agent of evil in Trek gets to show they're truly sorry for being a pawn in the villain's game.

She'll redeem herself by season's end provided she isn't killed off.

 

[DaveyNY]

Given the way Riker talked about Crandall, I pictured some Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville looking guy hanging around the beach bars on Napenthe and talking up all his space stories over the decades. Some of which might even be true.

I'm not convinced she was trying to kill herself. The uranium hydride was more likely just to neutralize the tracking compound, and she knew of the risk of extreme side effects. It makes little sense that the compound would need her to be alive to be tracked. If she wanted to kill herself and stop the other ship from tracking them, she could have simply ejected herself out of the airlock.

The question is will Rios blame Raffi for Agnes' condition, suspecting her of putting poison in all the cake she gave Agnes.

Noranium hydride. It's actually a call back to a TNG episode, "The Vengeance Factor" (Season 3 ep.9) that mentions noranium.
She probably knew the EMH would attempt to save her.

The computer clearly says uranium, as do the subtitles.

My subtitles said "noranium".

 

[SpocksOddSocks]

My subtitles said "noranium".

Hmm, where is that, CBSAA, Amazon? I just had a look at mine on Amazon (UK) and it said uranium.

Perhaps it was actually meant to be noranium, but picked up by someone's autocorrect when moving platforms.

Rupert Crandall will be played by William Riker in the holodeck recreation of the story in the series finale of Star Trek: Discovery.

 

[MrPointy]

I hope Rupert Crandall is just a dude. Preferably played by Bryan Cranston.

[cooleddie74]

Crandall will be portrayed by Brian Brophy in yet another role he was born to play.

I'm not convinced she was trying to kill herself.

She wasn't trying to kill herself, although she knew that was a possibility. She was using some toxic technobabble compound to neutralize the tracker--at great personal risk.

That's what I wrote. Why are you replying to me?

 

[137th Gebirg]

I've seen a couple of arguments to the effect that Riker and Troi not breaking the rules to save Thad was out of character and not in keeping with Star Trek tradition - but if there is literally no positronic framework in which to develop the cure they needed, what could they have been expected to do? The whole point of that particular subplot was to remind the audience of the consequences of such wide, sweeping behaviour. It's a metaphor for racial stereotyping.

No. It was a metaphor for elucidating the benefits of stem-cell research, which has been highly regulated, if not all-out banned in some contexts, and could be used to cure a vast number of genetic diseases.

Contrary to popular belief these days, not everything is racial.

Oh, and anyone who thinks it’s out of character for Riker and Troi to do whatever it takes to save their kid from a terminal disease likely aren’t parents themselves and should probably STFU.

 

[Greg Cox]

That's what I wrote. Why are you replying to me?

I was agreeing with you, very emphatically. You conveyed some uncertainty ("I'm not convinced"), so I was stressing that your impression was absolutely correct. .

 

[Lakenheath 72]

How did she know that injecting herself with noranium hydride would destroy the tracker?
