Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

Still don't care about Musk.

 

... Congratulations?

 

Thank you.

I need to see how Paul Stamets is doing.

 

But I thought Elon had Grimes to care for him......

Speaking of Grimes

 

Considering I'm a member of a minority whose members are regularly doxxed and harassed to the point of suicide by assholes hiding behind the shield of freeze peach, I have every reason for following Musk closely (also a known transphobic prick among all the other stuff about him) and to be very concerned about his plans for social media. Doubly funny as practically all my colleagues are convinced he's the second coming who will buy out all the evil oppressive librul companies, and single-handedly erase political correctness and purge the entire media and all of public discussion from the scourge of crybaby wokeism that ruined all the TV shows and video games they enjoyed as kids. Not to mention his praise of Chinese "work in the factory until 3am and have 3 hours of sleep on the assembly hall floor" work culture as a standard that should be followed...

Yeah, definitely the kind of science & tech hero that should be immortalized by Trek.

 

He's a Techbro douche

 

I think he should stick to building paying other people to build electric cars and rockets, and otherwise shut up.

 

I'm done with PIC now so it's time to dial back and get on with DSC for me. Not seen 80% of S4 yet, but before I start I want to watch it back from S3.

I like Grimes. Anyone whos' debut album is an EDM homage to Herbert's Dune, punningly titled 'Geidi Primes' get's quite a lot of latitude from me.

Edit - Is this the Elon Musk/Twitter thread now?

 

Yup. For some reason because he was name dropped in a Discovery episode it must now be regarded poorly due to recent comments. Only the worthy may be name drooped on Star Trek.*


*I kid...slightly

 

I like Grimes too she's quirky, plus her real name is really neat but ordinary

 

Michelle is on set, production must be starting soom

Fantastic news!

 

But, but I thought the show had been cancelled like 3 times

 

It has. This tweet is clearly just a smokescreen.

 

I thought Discovery only get's made so CBS doesn't have to admit it's a failure?

 

Now, now you know the fandom don't make mistakes /s right?

 

Eventually it will be and the haters will claim that they were right all along about Discovery’s cancellation.

 

Doug is getting ready to film

I think that rule applies to broken clocks too

 

Seeing how a physical media release for Picard season 2 was just announced today, anyone find it odd we haven't heard anything regarding a physical media release for Disco season 4? After all, it aired before Picard season 2 (more or less) yet Picard is getting its physical media release first.
