Questions you desperately want answered in eps 11-14...

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

Is Mrs. Burnham really a bad guy (an agent of the future threat)?
Has Jet Reno been oversleeping through her shifts?
Whatever happened to Lorca's creepy laboratory of horrors?
How many more times will Spock tell us what's at stake?
Will the Emperor recruit a disillusioned Tilly for S31?

 

[Nerys Myk]

1. Money?
2. Religion?
3. Military?

Not necessarily in that order.

Somebody is trying to confuse our heroes with disinformation here. The reason they thought the Red Angel would be Michael was because there was a suspicious note slipped between the pages of Airiam's diary, rather blatantly stating so. Who left that note? And why?

If and when Michael takes over from Mama and we get confirmation that there are many Red Angels, we can also assume there are many agendas. So, which of the past appearances of the Angel were by Mama, and which were by Michael? Depending on how this time machine works, will Mama keep on appearing despite having been kicked out of the suit?

The big question is, is Michael stupid and is Spock a sadist? The whole idea of setting up a trap for Future Michael by placing Present Michael in deadly danger was doomed to fail, as Future Michael would only ever need to worry about rescuing Present Michael if she were Present Michael a few years, weeks or hours on. And if so, Future Michael would by default know all about the trap, having been Present Michael previously... So did Spock just want to see Michael suffocate to death as painfully as possible, and did Michael never suspect a thing?

1) Disco's real captain is still hanging around Vulcan. Why didn't MB look him/her up while in the neighborhood?
2) Is Linus related to Reptilian Xindi?
3) What's the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

He’s still in pre-op for his tonsillectomy.

2) Is Linus related to Reptilian Xindi?

Yes. In the same way as Romulans are related to Vulcans.

3) What's the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

African or European?

Let's see. Spock is a scientist and Michael has a god complex. They have hypothesis that RA appears when Michael is in mortal danger and they try to use it. Michael was exited by idea that she is RA and was ready to die to proof it. During the experiment Spock understood that "knowing about mortal danger for Burnham" is not enough to force RA to appear. RA comes to prevent time paradox. Michael's death creates such paradox, so RA NEED to be here in spite of she/he probably knows that it is a trap.

Will they at some point find out that "sentient" and "sapient" are not synonyms and then be super embarrassed by their silly mistake (Spock in particular)?

 

[Timo]

Why wouldn't they be? It's just a degree of sapience whether a sapient can plausibly fake sentience... As so often seen in Trek.

Could you please explain the difference? For example, Borg are "sentient" or "sapient"?

Everything that feels is sentient. Something/someone that is aware of itself/themselves (capable of intelligence) is sapient. Ergo, a cat is sentient. That's not interchangeable, but ST shows continue to use both terms as if they meant the same thing. It's okay for the audience not to know, but a supposed super-brain and (rather pedantic) scientist such as Spock should.

EDIT: honestly, I'm not too sure how self-aware Borg drones are. That's a good question.

1 how do those brushless toothbrushes work?
2 michael's been burned, impaled , chemically burned, asphyxiated, jailed, beaten up, exposed to vacuum, irradiated, had her heart broken, and so on. so can she get a break? s

Everybody knows that Unleaded Swallows get lousy mileage even at high speeds.

Unimatrix Zero kind of shows some of them with a recessive gene potentially having a pretty idyllic dream-life existence when recharging or whatever it was called. Honestly I'm not sure why Borg Queen put an end to that whole thing. Seemed like a nice perk if you got no choice but the blue pill. I'd say their sentient/sapient except when they're on the clock, and that describes a few work environments I've been in too.

Thanks for explaining.

In Voyager Seven of Nine was suffering after loss her connection to Borg. She was lonely and scary without their support. It's interesting, does it mean that in unity with Borg she felt comfort and safety?

Trekcore made an interesting canon connection with Voyager on that score...

I thought of this as soon as I heard the line. And remember Kirsten Beyer is/was heavily invested in Voyager. I wouldn't be surprised if Braxton or something gets a name-drop this season.
