Am I the only one completely lost on why the hell there is a rabid space cat on board a starship? Where the hell did that come from? And to be honest, what even happened to the crew on the ship?
My reading: The crew was mangled by experimenting with the subspace fungus while the wild animal has probably been brought aboard through the same thing.

I'm more perplexed by why they blew up a perfectly salvageable ship. I mean it is the Klingons' job to blow up Starfleet ships.
 
He was just going on about how fast they can go places. "and then you're home like it never happened"

Unless you're telling me one of Andoria's moons has a Preserver Artifact on it.
 
They named the fungi species after an extinct genus of fungi. The Prototaxites lived on Earth 420 to 370 mya.

And, Ilari was a Delta Quadrant planet visited by the Voyager. I have to ask, Ilari is the most memorable planet from Voyager? Are there not more memorable planets from this series?
 
She actually said that?

Can the Discovery extend it's warp bubble to tow the Glenn home? or maybe towing the Glenn would reduce the ships speed and shields (extra shield surface area, and tonnage is a drain on power, or/and reduced efectivity) to a point where it was unwise to be attacked by Klingons.

How long would the Discovery have to wait and guard the Glenn, because if it's just left there by itself, the klingons will come back, while it waited for a ship that could tow the Glenn home if the Discovery can't, which would require increasing the size of it's warp bubble by more than 200 percent while using a tractor beam, when the Discovery had really important things to do.

If the crew was "warped" maybe the ship was warped too?

Trojan horse much? Goodness knows what the klingons did to the glenn in the Hours that they had it to themselves.

The ships engines were so extremely top secret, that there was no federation shipyard/drydock that they could take the Glenn to, without there being a terminal security threat.

If Lorca stripped the Glenn for parts, and resources, which is smart, he may not have wanted to explain that to Star fleet command, and any of the other reasons above too.

Some decent points. Thanks.
 
The way some people were hyping up the possible swearing I was expecting an ep of Deadwood! In the end I barely noticed it!
 
Is it just me, or do the photon torpedoes seem to go slower than actual modern submarine-based torpedoes?
