Spoilers Discovery and the Novelverse - TV show discussion thread

But there's a difference to use a cloaking device in a battle or a klingon strategy like during "Blood Oath" and a kind of treachery like T'Kuvma was using imo. That was the kind of treachery, the Klingons despise the Romulans for.
How do you say "hypocrisy" in Klingon?
 
Are they?
Well, Lethbridge Stewart novels, which I actually do order direct from the UK are released on Thursdays. That and combined with the fact this has a Thursday release date in the UK, I guess I just assumed that was the normal release day. :shrug:
 
What about electronic release in Europe? I know the Tuesday release dates are only hard limits for electronic release; often enough novels show up by the previous week at brick and mortar stores like Barnes and Noble in the U.S.

Generally, I always used to change the book charts at work on a Wednesday evening, ready to go out first thing Thursday, but unless they're under a strict embargo, really it's just whenever they came in on the delivery.
 
Now that I think about this more, it seems 6 months after the final scene in episode two is surely more than 6 months after May 11, 2256. It had to have taken some time for Burnham to be tried and convicted.

Unless farther info comes to light, in my head the rest of the season after the two part premiere is in 2257.

Not necessarily. Kirk's court-martial in the episode of the same name didn't appear to take very long to organize, even with the need to bring in a panel of ranking officers. After all, if they'd been waiting weeks for the trial to start, then Spock would've had plenty of time to suss out the fault in the computer and realize what it meant. Also, it seems unlikely that Finney could've stayed holed up in the lower levels for such a long time without being detected or running out of supplies. The episode only seems to cover a few days.

And Kirk was fighting the charges. Burnham pled guilty, which means they wouldn't even have needed a full court-martial, just the initial inquiry and arraignment. That would've expedited matters.
 
In *REAL* life, honor is less about what you can't do and more about what you can get away with.
