They didn’t meltdown from it. They just think it’s funny.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x05 - "Die Trying"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

I find they take extreme pride in being wrong on just about everything. It's quite bizarre. I've practically stopped watching them at this point. It's not a positive/negative thing, it's about nitpicking to the point of exhaustion coupled with the realisation that, more often than not, they are just plain wrong on their basis for that nitpicking. Yeah, I've wasted enough time on them.
Just watched that clip and I cant see how they are wrong on this one
I very much hope I never have to endure a Star Trek show where I have to watch somebody sitting on a couch for 50 minutes.
perhaps not a ''meltdown'' but making a 10 minute video about a random background shuttle that the majority of people won't even notice seems a bit obsessive and very nitpicky to me

They're Star Trek fans.
Spending ten minutes talking about a random background shuttle is what the TrekBBS was in part built on. Hell, we're worse sometimes.

I DID say that Neutronium was theorized by Federation science in 2258 per Disco's admission in this episode.
My point was that even after encountering a planet killer made of solid Neutronium (which Starfleet managed to disable) mere 10 years after Discovery departed, the 24th century Federation still didn't have the ability to create its own Neutronium or affect it with conventional weapons (which is a huge stretch).
You'd think that by the time Voyager launched, at least weapons and shields (not to mention sensors) would have been adjusted in 100 years of study of Neutronium from a machine which was laced with it so they could disrupt it (or affect it) severely, and every other scientific area would benefit from it... and by early/mid 25th century, Starfleet should have had the ability to make Neutronium based hulls themselves.
Even without the Planet Killer in their possession, they would likely evolve to the point of synthesizing Neutronium in smaller amounts by late 24th century (say microscopic amounts that could be mixed with other available materials such as Duranium and Tritanium to radically enhance their properties - a synthetic composite of 3 materials).
For a combination of over 150 alien species working together without monetary constraints, progress was described as incremental at best (which is preposterous) - but we know the writers do this intentionally because their extrapolation of technology for Trek is... limited.
Heck, scifi writers seldom (if ever) incorporate the notion that science and technology evolve exponentially, because most people (including the writers) think in a linear fashion.

Well, we know things can be stored in a transporter buffer for a very long time.
Keeping seeds in transporter suspension indefinitely (for example) by the 32nd century (along with probably humanoids) would likely be really simple.
I'd wager you could build a whole ship around transporter tech, everything is stored in a giant buffer including the crew and they can move about, and are conscious. It would be like a cross between a buffer and holodeck. The ship would only need a few other systems to run.
Watched it again and noticed something new:
32nd century badges are so weak they can be destroyed by stepping on them XD
That's WOK though

I strangely got a Star Trek Motion Picture vibe from some of those shots...
...for example. Not that I mind, and it's probably just in my mind...

Maybe 23rd century Terran boot heels are super strong. But then again, just the act of running in them might damage decks
I know. You'd think that Starfleet would have build commbadges even in the 24th century that are impossible to break by stepping on them or just dropping them.
That would have worked actually... to have Georgiou TRY to break the badge by stepping on it (or any other method), only to discover that she cant.

You'd actually expect future footwear and clothing to be made from superior synthetic materials which would be virtually unbreakable and provide good force... but here's the crutch: 23rd century vs 32nd century... so 32nd century wins either way.
It would't even be a contest if it was 23rd vs 24th really... as the 24th would be made with superior materials.
P.S. There's no reason to think that Georgiou would have kept using boots she was wearing in the Mirror Universe. Section 31 probably gave her new clothes entirely... ones that are similarly/same strong.

great episode.
couple things
1. Nahn... when did they make first contact with the Barzans. To the point that individuals joined star fleet? non member worlds needs a sponsor. Is this in a bio somewhere on the character? Couldn't find a distance reference from earth to barzan.
2. do you guys think this season wouldve been wicked good had it focused maybe on the borg conquering most of the alpha quadrant? rather than this burn nonsense?

No. People would be upset at what it meant about the Federation for one thing But more importantly, Voyager already did the skulking around Borg space thing.
The Borg concept has been severely overplayed, so I’m glad they didn’t go there.
It's not that much of a stretch if you consider the following:
- It does have a unique piece of technology that was never developed at all by anyone else in the federation in the 930 years since the ship was last seen. (IE - no one else really knows how that technology works or how to use it.)
- To get the 23rd century Discovery crew up to speed would take probably at least a year or more of retraining.
- The ship is an anachronism. A 32nd century crew would take a lot of retraining on how to use its systems; And again with the spore drive and what it can do, they would want and need to keep the ship efficiently operational; and retraining people who were only familiar with 32nd century technology to use The ship's 23rd century systems, would take as long as retraining the 23rd century crew to use 32nd century technology; And would most likely require the aid of members of the Discovery crew.
Given all that what makes the least senses just trying to break them up and put them into the pool of available crewmen for Federation missions in the 32nd century.

No, we don't know exactly how or why Nhan even managed to leave Barzan in the first place (especially since at that time, Barzan didn't even have spaceflight capability), let alone actually secure a sponsor* and enter Starfleet Academy. Her early life is a complete unknown.
*I realize I have no canon information to back this up but I am getting the distinct vibe that Nhan's Academy sponsor was Pike.
No. Borg suck.
