Nah, young adults talk like that too.


They're still young adults, the school they're attending doesn't change that.

Caleb is freaking 21 years old. I never talked like that at 21. Okay I did call my GF muffin. But that was always in jest and she got a kick out of it... 😂
 
So, seeing SAM blip into Caleb’s quarters and have a fairly adult talk about what a child she was before ‘growing up’ and then the hug later in the episode, I’m seriously thinking that she’s got big girl feelings for Caleb now.
I didn't get any romantic vibes from any of it; in fact, if anything I get ace/aro vibes from SAM. That stuff just read to me as a newly-confident SAM connecting with and reaching out to Caleb in a way she would never have previously felt comfortable doing.
 
Betazed is inside the "bubble". It is near one of the aperture openings, with the other aperture opening being near Ukeck. (Aperture is the exact label used on the star charts.)

My observation on the Venari Ral dividing the Federation into two is based on comparing the star charts they are using with the star charts seen in the episode. The VR placed mines approximately 100 light years in all directions from Earth.

Another map shows that the Ckaptir claimed the outermost areas of what had once been the Romulan Star Empire in the Beta Quadrant.

The outer edge of the first bubble, which allows us to put the rest into perspective due to the transwarp lines, is about a light year from Trill.

Which means the minefield has a coverage of about a 30ly radius with Sol as the center.
 
Conveniently Discovery and the spore drive technology is unavailable, the one thing that renders not only this minefield but space damaged by Omega moot.

No? Omega destroys subspace. The spore drives moves the ship through subspace. Meaning Omega would stop it from working just like everything else.

But the mines haven’t been detonated. The real question is whether Discovery would trigger them while traveling through the mycelial network. It’s been described as a layer of subspace, but have the mines actually been calibrated to detect movement in that specific layer?

The Breen were able to track the Spore drive in Discovery Season 5, so it's realistic to assume the mines would be able to too.
 
1. I thought the character moments were brilliant and believable and quite moving.
2. I am really tired of planets where smugglers go to trade their smuggles weren't so effing same-y. It's tedious.
3. I do like how the costumes are kind of simple in their futurism. Ake's casual outfits in particular are great. (I'm kind of over the excess of Strange New Worlds costume designs.)
4. I am looking forward to how they get out of this one next week.
 
(Speaking of DS9, as a Niner for life, I was very happy to see the station still showing up on the map and was still by the wormhole. But as someone who is also trying to be impartial about the episode, this also doesn't make sense... that would mean the station is about 850 years old. I just don't see that being true, as much as I'd like to believe it. Considering the graphic incorrectly showed the size of Federation space, it was more about trying to service fans who are just looking for easter eggs than actually being about making sense.)
Might not be the same station. They just call what ever structure is there "Deep Space Nine."

The spore drive travels through a layer of subspace. Stamets says this in Discovery.

So yes, it would be blocked by any damage caused by an omega molecule detonation

Conveniently Discovery and the spore drive technology is unavailable
Discovery was active during the Miyazaki episode. So its refit must be done

That's what I thought until the ridiculous ENT episode depicted "Romulan" as an alien phonetic string. I dread the day a future TV writer pulls the same nonsense trope with "Vulcan".
Vulcan is called Vulcan by Vulcans speaking Vulcan. No matter how uncomfortable the idea makes some Trekkies.

Maybe you should have.
