The Post-Burn Galaxy thread or "Post-Apocalypse or Slightly Used?"

[Turtletrekker]

If you check, I actually started the The Last Starship thread and have been posting thoughts with each issue.

As an aside, I hope you do the same for the Academy comic. I see that you've already started the thread.

I am just giddy with Academy, its really helped me find some light in the dark lately. So hopefully/probably, the comics live up to my hopes!

Yeah, I hope they post a link to their thoughts.

I do wish Discovery S3 explored this universe a lot more. Maybe not even solve the Burn until season 4, so they could get down into the details about what happens to a post-scarcity society when you reintroduce scarcity. There's a lot of things that they could have gotten into that they've unfortunately handwaved away and is apparently just left to comic books and novels.

Which, given that number was mentioned a few posts above yours, highly suggests you haven't actually read the comics.

Easy there, no need to insinuate posters are not being truthful for no reason. Let’s keep the tone respectful and good-natured, alright? Thank you.

If nothing else, this thread has sold me on The Last Ship.

It's a pretty decent comic, admittedly some of the art isn't the greatest, but it does the job (imho the art on the Star Trek: "Theseus" comic was better).

Issue #1 is 1.89 in the UK atm, not sure what it is elsewhere.

I wonder whether TLS and SA reference the Temporal Wars at all, which were destructive even before the Burn. So far, only the last two DSC novels gave us some idea how bad things where then.

Honestly, given the new owners, I am fully prepared for a Kelvin-style reboot.

I assumed part of the reason to set it in the distant future would be to just be able to make their own thing with its own tone, like Enterprise tried to do by going to the past.

The show so far doesn't seem to have any interest whatsoever in its own setting but that's not necessarily a problem if it's just intended to be an excuse to have a clean-ish slate.

Admittedly this is scuttled somewhat by the fact that every other building is named after some TOS/TNG shit like "The Helen Noel Auditorium" or "Dave Bailey Gardens" or w/e.

What about Turner?

For the love of God, do it for Turner.

Like, two seconds.

I feel like all of this would imply any of the defenses you bring up are canonized versus things you think would have happened versus the licensed comic.

Like, "Earth's shields would have protected it."

Except they didn't...in an official comic.

A lot of stuff happens in Star Trek and the job is of the fans to explain it, not say, "No, that wouldn't happen."

Been that way for a long ass time now.

Wonderlands (set in 3188, before Burnham finds the Discovery). MA link: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Wonderlands
Somewhere to Belong (Captain Burnham). MA link: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Somewhere_to_Belong

One thing I'd like to have seen with the Burn would be Post-Federation alternatives.

Like when they had Betazoid rejoin, it was said 30 other worlds would join.

I'm like, "Was this meaning they had 30 other worlds in an alliance? Was there a Betazoid Confederacy?"

Less than 5 minutes to total core detonation, depending on the ship setup, but the DIS showrunners introduced the stupid wording that instead of calling the subsequent ~120 years "the Dark Age" or "the Burned Era" or somesuch, they also call it "the Burn".

An utterly ridiculous failure of the English language.

Argh.
