That's my thinking as well, that many species who are omnipotent or able to traverse great distances quickly utilize the mycelial network. I like it
Not sure why the idea is so offensive...
Spoilers A big hint about the finale/season 3 has dropped...

Funny, that's exactly what I say about Discovery (that) vs. The Orville (jerking off to what came before).
That these thing would be connected is certainly a good idea. The problem merely is that the mycelial network is colossally dumb. But I think we have discussed that to death, I know you disagree. But yeah, the idea that the network is an artificial construct by by some advanced super aliens that Stamets accidentally hacked into, and that the said aliens eventually ban everyone from their gateway system would be the best way that I can think of this shut this can of sporeworms.That's my thinking as well, that many species who are omnipotent or able to traverse great distances quickly utilize the mycelial network.

Don't we have someone with connections to Discovery, posting stuff that ultimately panned out. I wanna here from them about this.
I don't see why this is problematic.
It really isn't, but it would require the writers to actually do it. I am not writing for this show.
That would appear to contradict your claim that the Mycenial network in any way "Collosally Dumb."
It is. And Fire didn't quote that part. It being artificially constructed and possibly spanning only some areas of space instead of being a naturally occurring phenomenon spanning entire multiverse would make it less dumb though. It being made out of literal fungi is still colossally dumb, no way around that.
But it is hilarious. DSC is literally tripping on magic mushrooms.
The mushroom stuff sounds like whoever wrote it was on mushrooms. Because of that, and for the audacity to actually do that and spit in the face of technobabble, I like it. I like it even more that someone with a PhD figured out how to make it sort-of make sense.

Too many 'fans' channeling their inner Worf, perhaps, is the source of this consternation?

Kind of makes me wish they would go the extra mile and take some more inspiration from this film in that regard. While I enjoy Disco, it still feels a bit prettified and antiseptic in its production values. Although I'm sure that the 'technobabble' involved would cause many a set of eyes to glaze over. It seems like too many years of tuning out bad Berman era babble has caused people to be unable to distinguish helpful science dialogue from the walpaper kind.

Just watched the trailer. It looks like the best movie I've never heard of!
Looks better than Salvador Litvak's When Do We Eat? I thought that was a movie that go a lot weirder than it actually did from the way a friend talked it up. They're all supposed to be on ecstacy.
It is fucking awesome! But, it does need to be seen on a biggish screen in order to enjoy the full effect (feel like you've taken magic mushrooms yourself). I recommend no less than 50" inches in order to achieve that. But hey, that's vintage Chuck Russell for you.
It has one of my favorite scifi rants of all time, with Charles Haid wandering to check out an X-ray while spouting his entire CV.

I saw that in the theater when I was about 13. I remember it being disturbing, but memorable. I really must get the blu-ray.
Sold! Already looking to see if this is available on Amazon. Sadly, all I have is a 42-inch screen.
I swear I was born the wrong year.
EDIT: It is on Amazon! I must watch this. If it's as good as you guys say it is, I already know just the right friends IRL to invite over! Weprobably won't watch this sober.

Protomatter is so dangerous it seems to put everyone not out of their minds off using the stuff. And regular torpedoes are cheaper. And don't have unpredictable effects on space time normally. And Klingons aren't well known for careful heavy weapons research.
