Random observation from this week's episode. Ake tells Kelrec she still thinks of Ni'var as Vulcan, which implies the name change was sometime during her lifetime, so sometime since the 28th century.
I thought about this when she said it. Her bringing it up doesn't require it to be during her lifetime. It could be equivalent to somebody complaining that Constantinople is called "Istanbul" by people.
 
It was odd the Athena didn't fire a single weapon at the ships attacking it after being knocked out of warp.
 
This would be a good time for Benjamin Sisko to come out of wormhole retirement and heal the damage from the Omega-47 minefield. With the help of the Prophets, of course. And SAM, who contacts him making the request.

Farfetched, you say? Of course! :)
 
It's kind of too bad they are hamstrung by Discovery's epilogue, because this could have been a high stakes finale except we already know everything will be fine.
This again? :lol:
This is a classic Star Trek issue regarding use of tech as plot device. Every tech is just a one-off thing which has somehow never been used before - and once dealt with, never has to be used again.

After all, if it's so trivially easy to come up with Omega mines which wall off a huge portion of the galaxy, how come it wasn't done millions of years ago?
Who's to say it wasn't? We won't know until they make Star Trek: One Million Years BC
 
Athena swooshing in, hovering above them to save them was very much like the D swooshing in, hovering above Picard and Jack to save them.

The display didn't show clearly whether the Bajoran wormhole opening is inside the mines or not. If it is, they could go through the wormhole to the gamma quadrant, which would also be a nice in-story reason to see DS9 in the 32nd century :biggrin:


That was the one from Discovery Season 5 no?
Ah, good point, I forgot about much of Disco S5 :D

No no, the other secret stolen thing was Kirk's body, which comes back freshly revived on the Mirror SNW 1701 they took to the Academy in Disco! :D

However, the enclosed Federation should be able to get around this ring, by flying up or flying down and around the barrier.
When they are first shown on that screen, they are above or below as well. The view then adjusts to only show one plane through the center.

I'm guessing Discovery probably won't show up since the bridge set is likely long gone, and there's no real setup for it.
They only need a background pic on that giant screen, no real set for a viewscreen appearance of archangel Michael ;)

One other thing - Remus was not destroyed in the supernova which destroyed its sister planet. It is a planet affiliated with the Federation, going by the color. The label for this has appeared in the charts as (Star) Romulus (Remus).
IIRC, that area was labeled as uninhabited or something like that in the PIC maps. It could've been repopulated in those what, 800 years since then :D
 
I think it's kind of funny that in-universe, Nus has repeatedly stated he's not a space pirate and hates the federation ideologically but Ake keeps treating him as one (which is why she assumed he could be bribed into compliance). Now Nus is putting his money where his mouth is and removing the Federation from existence.

It reminds me of how Jaime Lannister kept assuming he could buy his way out of his problems.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.
 
Tatiana Maslany is a great actress and definitely elevated all the scenes she was in. I stll don't care about Caleb anywhere near as much as I should, sadly. In his big scene where he was pretending to hate his friends he was out-acted by all three of them.

The end of the first academic year but it still feels like we haven't seen very much of the cadets actually attending classes.

I didn't like Sam forcing Gensis to come with them on the shuttle into a life or death situation when she didn't want to. I hope Sam apologises for that next week.

The mine thing and the graphic supposedly representing Federation space was really dumb.

Didn't Gina Yashere have a scheduling conflict for the second half of the season? Other than a voice cameo Lura's been absent for the last three episodes.

Yeah. Paraphrasing the words of Spock - "The map indicates two-dimensional thinking". I was going to rip on that, why can't they just fly over or under the ring! But then a later scene showed a sphere around federation space, so I guess the earlier graphic was a cross-section!

Uhura got 25 years of advanced education fed to her overnight, as drugs while she slept. It's questionable whether any of this is happening, and when the kids wake up that anyone should trust any of the relationships that their drugs tell them they must commit to.

The galaxy is a flatish plane.

If you try to travel straight up, at warp nine for as long as you can, you're either going to, very quickly, hit the interstellar void, and go insane, or hit the galactic barrier and turn into a god.

The galaxy is still around 2,000 LY in height in the spiral arms.

A sphere of around 2,000 LY around Earth contains 80 million stars!

Not that quickly...

Calculating the numbers using the average thickness of 2,500 light years, and the 14 hours it took the Athena to go from Bajor to Earth a confirmed distance of 60 light years, it would take the Athena roughly 24.3 days to travel from one end of the galactic plane to the other.
