I'm sure several people are and can be found in the uniforms and ships threads, but I'm not one of them.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x05 - "Die Trying"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Is that a quote from the show or something you assumed yourself? I don't recall Cronenberg ever saying he was lying about that.
@Kzinti If it's a quote from the show, post the time stamp, thanks.
The Emperor calls them on it. Cronenberg shrugs as to say "ya got me".
Thanks, I'll do a rewatch.
This should be a major weapon that's basically handed to Discovery's ongoing feud with Vance. That he sent interrogators who outright lied to one of their crew for no reason.
Isn't trying to trip people up part of the job?
Some of the species they meet in the galaxy should be thousands, even millions of years ahead of humankind (nay a few billion years), so why don't they already have all this plus other unimaginable things?
I mean it seems like all sentient species are never more than a hundred years in the future, if that... It's so unlikely when you stop to think about it.
It's a DARK AGES. Tech does not necessarily move in a linear continuum. Things could very well have gone backwards in some areas and/or stagnated.
Because none of that is relateable or interesting. And if Starfleet was now just a bunch of cyborg torsos connected to a chair you would probably bitch about how its not star trek.
Very immature. I don't know if that's the writer's intent, or they just aren't smart enough to realize it.
As we saw, Discovery has massive quantities of Dilithium... Michael didn't even flinch at giving Booker what seemed to be a huge quantity of it (as compared to what we've seen on the Enterprise in TOS) You'd think ADM Vance would be all over grabbing some of it for use throughout whatever is left of Star Fleet. Especially since it's not needed to run the spore drive.
They really haven't elaborated on what the true crisis is. All they've said is it all went boom 125 years ago and the Federation as we knew it ceased to exist as a result.
If it were too different (and yes I think it would be vastly different, if you were going for some aspect of "realism"); The actual actors would have nothing to work with on set, and I'm pretty sure many members of the audience would be confused. However they rationalize the 32nd century technology; It still has to be relatable to modern audiences. (Hell they underplay how technology would probably work in the 23rd century compared to today for the same reason.)
In the end it's all still entertainment and again it needs to be relatable for an audience watching it.
Daniels teased us with the possibility he was a partially-synthetic human hybrid of some kind when he told Archer he was "more or less" human and we saw him shatter like a broken holographic projection when being shot by a Suliban. 30th century-32nd century humans might contain a large number of artificially-enhanced people specifically designed for time travel and using certain other technologies.
There are times when things change faster than others. Points where things change more than others. And there are setbacks. Progress isn't always linear, it isn't always at a constant pace, and it isn't always without setback.
Someone who was born in 1890 and died in 1960 would've experienced more change in their lifetime than any of us.

Daniels may be of the same cloth as Book for example, who clearly has non-human abilities.
Biologically grown, holographic and neutronium-laced hulls not doing it for you?
The Yuuzhan Vong have joined the Federation. I'll be impressed if you got that reference.
And if the Mouse sends their lawyers, well CBS/Paramount can say, "I thought that race and all their stories don't exist for you anymore!"

And seeing as we are talking other sci-fi did the last episode have anyone else singing "All Along The Watchtower" all night in their heads after that episode
FEDERATION MEMBERS: "OOH! The Claw! Claw is our master. Claw chooses who will go. And who will stay."
*Paging Admiral Vance. Paging Admiral Vance..."
Not me.
And SW Expanded Universe refs are lost on me.
