Discovery jumping into Kronos cave contradicts TNG Pegasus
- Thread starter Yistaan
- Start date
I thought you said it was the "TNGverse". So by your labeling (yours not mine): "Pegasus" and DSC should go together.
That trick never works.
I was about to say no marketing trick keeps people quiet.
Pretty sure the Klingons were unaware that the Disco placed the bomb inside their home planet. So, really nothing for them to squawk about.
I would also add that the spore drive was simply more advanced than the experimental device that powered the Pegasus. The spore drive apparently allowed for much more precise calculations which allowed the ship to jump inside solid rock and re-materialize inside a cave.

A minor continuity issue in the grand scheme of Star Trek continuity issues.
Hmm, surely the Klingons would wonder how it got there...?
L'Rell put it there. Or so she'll say. "It's not always necessary to tell the truth." If she told the truth, she'd be seen as a Federation Puppet. Not something they want and definitely not something she wants.
Sure, but someone will realize the time they spend wondering could be spent drinking bloodwine. A Klingon's got to have priorities.
"Klingons never bringing this up" is a no-starter - Kirk never brought up the very existence of Klingons, the Number One Nemesis and headlines leader of his time, and apparently also the very reason for his own career success (as per "Whom Gods Destroy", he was a "warrior" back in the days of DSC). Until he did.
Klingons are great worriers, so they always find new things to complain about. Except Archanis. That one never gets old.
As for Data once again claiming he knows nothing about something that happened before, he might be factually correct in his usual pedantic way. Perhaps NCC-1031 went only 2,232 meters into Qo'noS while NCC-1701-D went 2,547 meters into that asteroid?
Naturally, this is not really a factor in this particular case - Data's ship does not have the ability to jump directly into the rock, and (as far as he can tell at this point of the story) crucially lacks the ability to jump back out again, too. Any previous attempts at conventional spelunking using maneuvering thrusters have every right to be less impressive than what the E-D heroes are doing.
It's much more difficult to explain exactly how Data is so ignorant/pedantic about the "Where Silence Has Lease" phenomenon. Kirk's previous harrowing experience should be extremely relevant to Picard there.

Oh, I thought that while the descriptor - hole in space - is the same, the sensor data might be different. Like seeing a hole in water - could be cave-like area inside the water, or a place where water is absent. The amoeba might be like a black spot that doesn’t emit (much) data, whereas Nagilum’s space reads as absence of space-time.
I'm always surprised by the level to which people expect everything to be line-perfect aligned over the course of fictional centuries. Does it never occur that the 'later' reference might just be wrong? Are you always correct about historical specifics? I'm not. Memory, and records, are incomplete, patchy, and prone to error.
All of this has happened before and will happen again?
So say we all.
