Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x01 - "Kobayashi Maru"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Kirk didn't really learn that until Wrath of Khan, despite his cockups in TMP. Mention of Kobyashi maru etc does make me hope she'll learn a lesson by the end.
Perhaps Voyager will disappear with all hands, leading into Discovery Season 5: The search for Saru, or maybe a spinoff of Voyager being stuck in a remote part of the cosmos trying to get home.
Previous seasons give me very little hope she will ever learn.
Is it true that the tv sensors would not let them punch people? That's why they had to hit them with the back of their hands?
Sisko punched people, Picard never punched people
I'm very sensitive to characterization issues, but Book always rang true to me. Just because you're huggin' trees (literally and figuratively) and have a huge soft heart doesn't mean you can't be a fighter. We've also seen a bit of development last season, when he learned to open up.
I'm a bit worried about Adira. I really liked them last season and I'm glad they're trying to give them more character traits than just "science prodigy" and "non-binary." But I hope they aren't trying to make them the new Tilly, now that the latter grows more self-assured. If it was just a one-time thing of nervousness in a new position, that's fine. I mean, ofc they can be nervous at times... just don't make them NewTilly.
And her bf really needs a body/ life of his own!
ETA: Fied gender pronouns... wow, there were a lot in 1 paragraph!

It’s Friday. That means I can sign in to Netflix and watch the new Discovery
You weren’t exactly a fan anyway….why care?
How did Starfleet recruit new servicemen following the Burn and before the reopening of Starfleet academy?
Probably decentralized similar to Icheb on Voyager, with training maintained by isolated Starfleet outposts.(Wunderlands by Una Mcormack describes N.C.O Sahil employing a courier mercenary Jeremiah as technician in exchange for ship repairs which probaby reveals a common practice of a core Starfleet crew and the extra manpower being mercs)

I definitely heard the sound - I wonder if there are different subspecies.
Ask the Muppet-verse...
uh-oh...
The premiere was fine. Nothing Earth shatteringly good but not S1-2 terrible either.
The pre-credit sequence was probably the best part. The chemistry between Burnham and Booker is the single best thing to come out of S3. They fit so well together.
if Harry Kim ever wanted a promotion boy did he pick he wrong show. Tilly from Cadet to LT in two seasons.
The Kelpian stuff was so unnecessary.
I mostly agree with the President about Burnham. I’m curious if they ditched the Kelvin-verse thing of Spock creating the Kobayashi Maru. Feels like they did.
hate the duty uniforms and Burnhams leather jacket. But the dress uniforms were pretty sharp.
the rest of it looks fantastic. They really use every dollar of that big budget.
First time I’ve heard it since last season but man, the title song really leaves you wanting after hearing the ones for LD and Prodigy.
I give this a 6 outta 10.

It didn't work, though- rather than walking it just sort of rocked a bit.
See, I don't think the President should "come around" to Burnham, she basically said, "You're awesome but not ready, there are a few problems". It would be nice if they both learned new things being each other's foil. And Michael works on her flaws, like any good officer would.
But considering the way Trek (and, tbf, most other shows) have depicted politicians, combined with DSC's tendency to Alway Prove Burnham Right, I'm skeptical.
As an episode, this worked well for me, so I'm undecided between 7 and 8 points.

Watch the news and look up history.
As far as politicians go, the President in DSC is pretty good.
And at any point over the course of, well, any of our adult lifetimes.
I think they've set it up so that Burnham has to Learn A Lesson by the end of the season.
Fair enough, all of that and it's true. But I wasn't even referring to the President's little speech. I was just referring to Kirk and Michael in-general. It was a wider observation that goes above and beyond just this episode.
I mean, the President's basic message to Michael was "being a leader is about more than being a hero - sometimes you have to let someone else be the hero, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you can't do everything." And - with the notable exception of Kirk - that's how all the Trek captains have behaved.
Upthread someone worried about Adira becoming the new Tilly.
Yup.
I just don't like that nervous/insecure/talks-too-much type of character. On a show or IRL. Like Reg Barclay. Super smart people have to be nutty/annoying?
But this show veers into casual/wisecrack/cute-land too much for me.
YMMV and most certainly does.
I am oddly enjoy Prodigy, though, maybe because it is a kid's show so casual/flippant is to be expected? Whatevs.
