    I wish I could “like” this 500 times. That is hilarious.

    Am I missing something? I don't see anybody asking them why or how they did not have time to watch episodic procedurals.

    The users point seems to just be that episodic shows still exist even if you don't personally watch them, and their high viewership figures show that there is still an audience want for more episodic shows.

    Just seemed weird to instantly jump to defending yourself when nobody took issue.

    Maybe I'm missing something and there was somebody asking why you're not watching those unspecified shows and I'm just unable to see them.

    Do we know this trailer isn't set after Pike has his look at his future in 'the chair'?

    I can see that being a little mental unhealthy.

    From comments by Akiva Goldsman and Anson Mount, and the timeline info we’ve been given (SNW uniforms are officially “circa 2259,” and Pike learned of his fate in 2258 in Discovery S02), ‪‪I think we know that it’s for sure after he knew what his own fate would be.

    Because fusion is the magic solution and no one will ever want to choose anything else for any reason. Because reality and civilization are monolithic and easily immediately understood and contain no apparent anachronism or holdover ever.

    And please, spare me any sniffing about how I fail to grasp the potential and significance of fusion energy. I understand everything that you do, just fine.

    Well then, under the circumstances, I think we can allow Chris a little me time with Tango and without a shaver. We know it doesn't stop him from eventually fulfilling his duties. Courage isn't about lacking fear and never facing depression. It's about facing fear head on and climbing back up out of sadness. The greatest lives have way more than their fair share of everything sucking. The greatness comes from what you do about it.

    ‪‪I would agree completely! He seems to have taken some time to deal with his trauma, and there’s not just nothing wrong with that, it’s a great example for them to show.

    I think the wind turbine matches the rustic theme they were going for on this. Those turbines will probably be regarded as being just as old fashioned as the Pike homestead by the mid 23rd century.

    The trailer seems to be region locked now, in Canada at least.

    Windmills?

    Or if the board will permit me to be morbid, Tango died and he's since been replaced. Things happen.

    It's actually Tango, but it's Tango from an alternate reality, but it's okay because he's exactly the same as the old Tango so nobody will notice.

    I just wish his legs weren't angled and were straight.

    Unfortunately, it had to be 25% different.
