So at a couple of points in season 2, Spock admonishes Michael for essentially having a hero complex and taking on responsibility for everything (most often alone) when she doesn’t have to. Michael seems to acknowledge this and even agree with this assessment, showing a little more personal...

Apologies if much of this has been said already - I don’t want to retread worn out paths (nor do I want to flog a dead horse), so please forgive me if little of this is in any way innovative. So I finally watched season 2. I wasn’t going to originally, having been put well off by season 1. But...

Disclaimer: just go with this one :lol: Ok so I’ve read several times here that DSC looks totally different to TOS because it needs to project a realistic future from current year - so it got me wondering: how good a projection is DSC? Let’s think about the technology: 1) transporters -...

I’m not sure if this has been covered already, so apologies if so, but I was watching “the omega directive” and Janeway explains that the omega molecule was synthesised in the 23rd century by a Starfleet scientist and it blew up, destroying sub space. Will we see this on DSC since it wasn’t...

By (perhaps unfairly) comparing 3 prequels that are totally unrelated, I thought it might shed some light on DSC’s status as a Star Trek prequel. Yet, these three prequels have enough in common to compare them *as prequels* to their better known “prime” eras, so please see what you think to the...

Ok so I’ve heard/read some ideas on this - Picard will be an ambassador, Picard will be commandant of starfleet academy, Picard will be an admiral. In an ideal world, what would we like the Picard show to be about? For me, I’d love something like the following: Picard is retired. He never...

Crazy fan theory time! Yes Malachi Throne played Mendez and also Pardek. Bear with. Pardek had been a senator for around 90 years by the time of “Unification”. For him to become a senator he may have been at least middle aged by human standards. So he would have looked around the same age...

Disclaimer: this is not intended to dump on DSC. Having seen the video of Sir Patrick announcing the return of Captain Picard, and the resulting extended cheer and overwhelming outpouring of positivity, I wonder whether a new show focusing on Picard could eclipse Discovery altogether. There...

Over on the Trekmovie they’ve posted an article stating that L’Rell is now the chancellor of the Klingon high council. https://trekmovie.com/2018/07/21/8-things-we-learned-about-star-trek-discovery-season-2-at-comic-con-press-conference/ Good for her. Azetbur also was a chancellor about 40...

In “mirror mirror” when Kirk replays his counterpart’s service record, there is a mention of a rebellion that Kirk put down. There are also rebels in Enterprise in “mirror darkly” made up of familiar local species (Vulcans, andorians, etc.) and this idea is carried over into DSC where we see a...

Come one, come all - Discophiles and Discoskeptics alike! Let us all come together in peace around Quark’s Dabo tables to discuss what we actually liked about Discovery. Credit to @BillJ and @fireproof78 for the idea (I hope you don’t mind me picking up the ball and running with it!) What...

Spoiler alert: this is a terrible fan theory. Don’t say I didn’t (say I didn’t) warn ya. The premise: “future guy” from Enterprise was a Romulan. This was a fan theory at the time as I recall and may have been on the cards for ENT s5. In the late 24th century Ambassador Spock’s reunification...

Member when we first saw the discovery and there was this idea that she was influenced by Klingon design because of her *ahem* unusually shaped secondary hull? And then we saw the Klingon ships and they looked like *nothing* that came before or since and were maybe Hurq designs or whatever...

I’m watching the episode “the enemy” right now and it occurs to me that instead of waiting for Geordi at Galorndon Core, Picard could have separated the ship, left the saucer in orbit for LaForge, taken the stardrive section to meet Tomalak, handed over the sick romulan, and then got a second...

I know Michael’s role in the Klingon war has been discussed in another thread but I was hoping to discuss the longer term implications of the war and look at her role in that, and what her mutiny and the war would mean for starfleet (and the federation) going forward. Ok so there’s been a...

I don’t think this has been explicitly discussed here (at least I hope I’m not retreading old discussions), but having just rewatched DSC I started wondering about the Klingon empire. Sarek notes that the federation is fighting 24 enemies - the great houses - instead of one. So what’s going...

Hi everyone. I’ve been thinking about this concept of the “visual reboot” and struggling to get my head around it if I’m honest. Particularly when DSC is supposed to be a direct prequel to TOS and set in the same universe and timeline. So... I’ve been trying to think of analogous examples of...
