Scenes in CBS This Morning segment!

[JD]

As for the delta in the sand, I really don't think we have enough context in the bits we've seen to so far to be able to say anything about whether it does or doesn't make sense.

Still no decent footage of the Discovery itself yet. I wonder if it's undergone another rethink? Fingers crossed for a nacelle style more like those on ENT or frankly even the Kelvin movies... rather than those Jem'Hadar things on the Shenzhou.

I think the reason we haven't seen a lot of the Discovery yet is because most of what we've seen so far is from the pilot, and we will be spending the majority of it on the Shezhou. I wouldn't be surprised if the Discovery isn't actually shown until the very end of the first episode, kind of like Luke Skywalker in The Force Awakens.

 

[Mr. Nova]

I think it's great to speculate on the "scientific explanation" of the sand graphic, but we shouldn't miss the lesson of the scene. That is: it's not just the Captain teaching survival skills, but an examination of her personal philosophy and outlook. Take the logical course and submit to the inevitable, or use your imagination and creativity to keep going until you find a solution?

Watching this, I've come to the realization that a new Star Trek television series has become a welcome escape from so much going on in the world.

It's glad to have a new show coming. Only a few weeks now!

I would agree except the producers said today they modeled klingons after trump supporters and will bring in some reflections on north Korea through the show. Our escape might not be much of one depending on how hard they decide to smack us on the head with what's going on in politics. American horror story cult has done the same thing though so I guess it's becoming the norm.

They modeled Klingons after Trump supporters? I guess that means the Klingons are the good guys in this series.

I don't know but they are supposedly sexier whatever that means. I was hoping they would up the warrior angle and show them as more ferocious.

I'm going to enjoy this show for the people it pisses off.

Well there must be a reason for the MA rating if there isn't any nudity/sex.

Violent Klingons?

Well there must be a reason for the MA rating if there isn't any nudity/sex.

There are plenty of TV-MA shows without graphic nudity. It can be about sexual themes, but it's usually more to do with violence, language, drug use, things like that. It's kind of a broadly defined rating, because it doesn't differentiate between shows that have strict limits on certain things (for instance, the Marvel Netflix shows are TV-MA but avoid frontal nudity and the f-word) and shows that are completely uncensored like Game of Thrones or Netflix's Marco Polo. I expect Discovery to be closer to the Marvel end of the spectrum, what I guess you could call "soft MA."

"What will you do if we're stuck here for 89 years?"

That's an oddly specific length of time, isn't it? Maybe they'd found something else on this planet that had been lost for 89 years, which would have been the 2160s. Could there be a connection to the early years of the Federation?

Maybe, however unlikely, that could be how we get the pilot episode cameo from an Enterprise character?

 

[Christopher]

I think it's more likely that the "89 years" was Burnham's super-precise estimate for how long they might be stranded given the as-yet-unknown factors causing their stranding. Remember, she was schooled on Vulcan, so she'd tend to give overly exacting estimates of things.

A real Vulcan would have include the months, weeks, days and hours.

The line we heard was Georgiou's. Maybe Burnham did give more precision but Georgiou simplified it.

(Although it always annoys me when writers have supposedly smart characters be ultra-exact like that in their estimates. In math and statistics, it's possible to be too precise. You really shouldn't use more significant figures than the margin of error in your calculation allows for.)

 

[zar]

Oh, that works too. Maybe whatever phenomenon is blocking sensors clears up once every 89 years.

Anyway, I found the clip itself on youtube here, presumably without region lock:
