News 'An Obol for Charon' Promo Pictures Released

[Midquest]

StarTrek.com has released this week's promo photos for 2x04, including a very interesting tidbit about a character's job, if the caption is accurate!

 

[Campe]

Yay on that interesting tidbit (if accurate.)

Also, Romijn is gonna crush it, methinks!

Oh I hope so!

 

[Midquest]

Yeah, if accurate that would make my day. (Guess I should have marked this thread SPOILERS, sorry!)

 

[Q2UnME]

^ Really, it's only speculation at this point. Photo captions at websites have been known to be wrong.

[Midquest]

As I noted above, yes. However, generally people try to get these things right, and I see they're using the title elsewhere on StarTrek.com. So I'm cautiously hopeful.

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

It looks like (just going by those images) we still have the brooding, aimless Stamets. I wish he'd get his spark back permanently. We've seen some signs of that spark, but then he seems to go back into his hole.

I agree and am hopeful. But playing devil's advocate, it could be argued that

Spoiler

she is "a" chief engineer in Starfleet (i.e., and Engineer and a Chief)

but not

Spoiler

"the" chief engineer of Discovery

.

^ Was totally thinking the same thing. A certain point of view, sort of thing haha.

 

[Tuskin38]

Her pad looks very TOS! Also appears to have a slot on top for data cards.

TrekCore has some higher res and higher quality versions of the images for those interested.

She could also end up as a red shirt when a plasma conduit explodes. The show is due to start losing people.

Oh, totally. I'm tempering expectations.

Very unlikable chopped liver.

We lost Lorca like six episodes ago. And of course... Connolly.

 

[BillJ]

We lost Lorca like six episodes ago.

I was talking more about characters we are attached to.

 

[Campe]

I was talking more about characters we are attached to.

Fair enough.

I like this character. But I don't necessarily feel attached to her and she's too new to kill off. I think we might lose Tyler by season's end though.

 

[Mudd]

It looks like (just going by those images) we still have the brooding, aimless Stamets...

...and the anxious, anguished Burnham.

 

[Kor]

The title is an interesting reference to mythology. Sounds kind of TOS-ish.
