*sings* How do we solve a problem like Picard?
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x13 - "That Hope Is You, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
That was a pretty damn good episode. I'm assuming season 4 will be about the challenges Discovery faces trying to rebuild the Federation. I hope we see the Klingons, Cardassians, and maybe the Dominion, and Delta Quadrant races too.
Maybe the Borg as well.
Also I can't overstate how happy I am that Vance isn't a badmiral.

Nilson is like third in command or something and she literally says like four lines in the entire season. lol
My mind's not really on this right now. Given current events, I don't have it in me to through the usual stuff and don't feel like it.
But I will say I'm glad they didn't kill Book. Really glad.
I'm also glad some other shoe didn't drop about Vance. I said he was on the level and now maybe certain people who shall remain nameless will listen to me.

I wonder how long the writers have been waiting to do that scene with Michael as captain. 
Actually, if you go back to episode 3 in Season 3 (People of Earth), before jumping to SOL, Discovery powered down its warp core and jumped to SOL on auxiliary power.
The Spore drive can function without an active Warp core (aka, just using auxiliary power) and can provide its own power generation as well - Stamets also talked about it in Season 2 to what's her name engineer about what Dilithium mining did to various planets and how Spores are renewable - and we've seen the Spore Drive being used to generate energy as well.
My biggest issue with Disco in S3 is that the writers seemingly decided to ignore most of the advanced technology and stuff that came before for the sake of the drama as opposed to creating a story that makes use of all the technology in an interesting way and works with it without unnecessarily dumbing things down.
It's 32nd century technology. I'm surprised they had to beam anything in. Obviously, the technology is now available where they can make anything!
Technically, they had that with energy to matter replicators in the 24th century (where energy was the limiting factor on starships - but probably not in solar systems with massive amounts of geothermal, solar, fusion, and whatever other generators they came up with to replace fusion (if they have) in the proceeding centuries.
For the first time with a season finale they didn't end on a cliffhanger, which opens up a lot of possibilities. I sort of hope they go ahead with a modest timeskip. Let the crew get settled into their new role shuttling dilithium around the galaxy for a year or so off camera before we get to see them again.
Lol, to each (Trekkie) their own
Technically, the tech does whatever tech tech is needed for the plot.
That puts her at about the same level as ensign Mayweather in Enterprise.
A solid 10 for me. Only a little disappointed that Su'kal was the only cause of the burn. I was kinda hoping for a secondary external part that interacted with him somehow (no, not the dilithium itself). Something they could investigate going forward in S4.
A nice 62 minute romp.

Not feeling in constant danger.
But it was in constant danger, it was almost destroyed.
But it wasn't the target.
All the same, it could have been part of the collateral damage.
Certainly, but it working for the survival of the crew would ensure it's survival. Mutually assured survival through cooperation.
Still, I can't help thinking that in a different timeline it let Control use it to annihilate all sentient life in the galaxy... I have a hard time thinking of it as benevolent, let alone moral.
