Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x13 - "Coming Home"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Heh...it's funny to me because I was like "That's real life right there!"
I have so many people in my life who are talking with me on the phone and go "Where's my phone at?" And then realize it's in their hand.
Humans are amazing.

Maybe, but most of the time people know where their phones are with just that momentary lapse. Considering how extra they were last season about it (comm-badge teleporting) being one of the 31st century magic-techs, it has been conspicuously absent this season. Until this episode.

Hahaha...sorry, I see more than just lapses across multiple ages and populations.
Missing out the whole season, OK, fine, I guess. But lapses in forgetting tech? See that every freaking day.

This is also proof positive that warp travel in the 32nd century isn't significantly faster than in the 24th century.
Which is silly. They are really making the 32nd century look bad.
The Relativity could travel anywhere in space and time in a instant. I doubt that needed Dilithium
Clearly the Federation has spent its efforts on Teleportation Tech and Programmable Matter. The holograms and Warp Drive are not much improved from what we knew. Perhaps this is a long-term result of the Picard-era isolationism. You'd think Voyager's many alternative engines would have propelled (pun intended) things ahead more, but apparently not!
Anyway, making detachable warp nacelles functional probably took up most of the engineering effort in the intervening centuries.

So, is this Africa but viewed with the north pole at about 10:00?
It's more a matter of how reliable they can make these engines. What Starfleet and the Federation demonstrates, repeatedly, is that if a technology comes with any sort of negative cost it gets either banned or no longer developed. While this may be seemingly unrealistic it is very much a real part of the Trek world. So, Dilithium was kept because it was a known quantity, while anything Voyager was either unknown, or deemed too risky. And, in this case, "risky" means pretty much one death. Otherwise, Warp 10 would be used.

Yup. Between the 2160s and the 2360s, the general rule of thumb was that ships got four times faster every century (NX-01 tops out at ~125c, 1701 at ~512c, 1701-D at ~2000c). If that had continued to hold true between the 24th and 32nd century, ships should be able to cross the entire galaxy within a couple of days. Even if the rate of technological development had dropped to warp capabilities only doubling in speed every century, ships would still be able to cross the entire galaxy in less than six months. But instead it's "decades" for Discovery to cross ~30,000 lightyears.
Rules change.
It’s just a lack of imagination from the Discovery writers
Been a part of Trek longer than Discovery

I liked the ending. Very Star Trek to have the diplomatic solution.
So, uhh, Stacey Abrams as the Earth President. Unsubtle, but nice touch.

It's a bit specious to compare killing animals to killing sapient beings.
Depends on how a species defines sapience.
Predictable... But good

Stacey's cameo was a bit of a surprise. I mean, not an unwelcome one, but it did take me out for a split second.
