Take what we know as scientific fact and stretch it a bit.
Physicist : "You can't travel faster than light"
SF Writer: "OK, we will invent warp drive to get past this"
Physicist: "Radio still travels at the speed of light. Your message will take years to be heard"
SF Writer: "OK, we will...
Probably a high chance this person is now on social media telling stories about how they were the best employee in the company and how toxic the workplace was.
Also a high chance they are receiving a large amount of support from people who believe everything she says.
It goes back to her actions in the first episode.
When she went to investigate the cloaked ship her captain ordered her NOT to make contact. Instead she landed on the Klingon ship and killed a guard in hand to hand combat. In essence she knocked on their front door and hand delivered a...
Oh well Burnham's titanium skeleton is just a little writers slip, no worse than if they did an episode of House where the patient had a fever of 213F.
On the topic about speculating. Putting Spirituality, seven, angles into my brain pulls up this old song by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson.
Could this be something the writers pulled inspiration from?
It's a low IQ internet based random insult. No true definition. People just spew it to make themselves feel superior. It can apply to whatever the spewer wants.
This is great.
For decades saying "Spock's beard" or "Spock with a beard" had a certain connotation. The Discovery writers have crushed it and washed it all away. Way to own the series.
Also add to that that our little waterbear friend is the only known critter with the ability to survive in space. From animal planet to you tube there have been a score of clips focusing on this little fella. I think I have even seen some clips speculating that they may have even come from...
Are you forgetting about the lend lease act?

I watch a number of WW1 and WW2 videos on Youtube and it always amuses me when some german kid makes a comment about those fucking American's fake neutrality in WW1 and WW2 and how the...
Aerosmith? Old music for old farts. They need something New. Something that is Now. Something that connects to the soul of today's modern audience!
After some market research I found this video of collage kids reacting to some new music! This is what connects to the new modern audience...
Investigate What?
They Count Web Hits. They Make Reports And They Sell Said Reports TO MAKE MONEY.
They count web mentions, for a property like Star Trek their system falls apart because of a built in 50 year old fan base. When New Show 1, New Show 2, and New Trek hit the web New Trek gets a...
From all the past instances of their reports they count social media hit to determine popularity. They count posts on Twitter, Facebook, and here to determine how much people are talking about a subject. How much buzz does it generate. Look at the name Parrot, as in the bird that repeats...
In the old days one of the rules of a TV show was that you introduce the characters in the first couple of episodes and then give a little backstory as the season goes on. Is it a thing now a days to have the audience saying "Who the fuck is that" after the first season is over. Is this a...
Canada doesn't have deserts, but, California and Nevada sure do. Most of the actors are based out of California and they have to travel to the studio in Toronto. They could have driven a truck to a southwest desert location and shot the scene. Instead they sent the actors,crew and equipment...
Strange, at no time while watching it did I say to myself "this is a cheap filler episode".
People often accuse modern productions of having the attitude "forget the story, we have cool special effects!". Perhaps forcing them to concentrate on the script and story is a good thing.
