Memory Alpha Entry​

 

[Orac]

Will the Discovery be visiting Rubicon 3 having determined it to be inhabited as well as unusually lovely?

 

[DaveyNY]

BOOM!

 

[Orac]

After a few short minutes of infranet research I realize the title is probbly an abbreviation of the expression "Crossing the Rubicon"

According to Wikipedia..

The phrase crossing the Rubicon is an idiom that means that one is passing a point of no return. Its meaning comes from allusion to the crossing of the Rubicon by Julius Caesar in early January 49 BC.

Yup.

Poor Burnham. She really didn't know how far Book would take things, going along with Tarka.

"The die is cast."

 

[F. King Daniel]

Poor Burnham. She really didn't know how far Book would take things, going along with Tarka.

Yet this is Discovery, they'll be fine and dandy at the end of the last episode with all forgiven.

 

[NCC-73515]

How is Saru closer to Book than Nahn?
It's classic Trek: The story resets at the end XD

I like how things look here. The nebula, the cloak, the quick jumping race, the cyan/teal lighting...

 

[thribs]

Those instant communications always crack me up. Saru puts the call in and she responds immediately. I know she’s Vulcan but it’s not very realistic.
She also seemed surprised it was Saru. Do they not have caller ID?

 

[NCC-73515]

She's been sitting around next to the phone waiting for his call.
And she was overwhelmed because he actually called.

 

[thribs]

That cloak wasn’t very good. I could still see the ship.

 

[NCC-73515]

It was like the sarcophagus cloak when they were mapping it

 

[SeamusShameless]

Why couldn't Nhan tell her family she was from the past? It's not like she'd be altering the timeline or anything.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

It was like the sarcophagus cloak when they were mapping it

So low grade cloaking tech.

 

[JoaquinSlowly]

‪‪I think maybe Nahn can’t reveal when she’s from because of the ban on time travel.

And Saru’s conversation about T’Rina with Culber was absolutely adorable, and ‪‪I loved everything about it.

 

[thribs]

It was a okay episode but I wish they would get on with the story. I feel like they could have told us all of this in half the time needed.

So it’s not named after the soda?

 

[Quinton]

Saru/T'Rina is the cutest goddamn thing.

I hate to say this, but this feels like its just dragging on. I look forward to the potential release of the Strange New Worlds trailer in the upcoming week over the next episode. I'm really getting tired of the storyline arc seasons as of late, and this feels like its dragging on too long. I was more focused on my computer watching youtube videos than focused on the episode. Going to give it a second try, but I just feel mentally exhausted with this season already.
