I clicked. I watched. The universe and I shared a moment. I’m working it through.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x15 - "Will You Take My Hand?"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

It was described as a massive phreatic eruption. Which works just the way they describe it in the show, the only thing you have to imagine it's the scale of the eruption caused by the bomb. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Certainly a lot more than 'changing the cosmological constant' with a 'dark energy bomb'.
Sounds like a job for Section 31.
Fuck Section 31.
There isn't enough lube in the Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order combined for that.
There is if you go with the debunked "Section 31 is just made up by Sloan" fan theory.
That definitely was my preferred explanation for that nonsense.
Probably. The question is though - was PU Lorca killed/assassinated after he ended up in the MU?
Umm...that's how the word is now spelled in the 23rd century (due to Vulcanian influence on the English language.)Spell check - the graphic artist's friend:

Maybe it will be Lorca's wacky twin sister Gabriella who is the new captain? Gabriella will basically just be Jason Isaacs in a wig and a mrs doubtfire-like voice.
It's amazing how virtually everything bad about DS9 was the fault of Bradley Thompson and David Weddle.
"We don't have time to fix it. Just show it reversed. No one will notice!"
The “Vulcan Hello” scene made zero sense. Burnham reaching out to Sarek for advice made sense under the circumstances. After that we take a trip to logicless world when she literally decides to execute that advice in a totally different circumstance .Committing mutiny made no sense either- she might be an expert in Klingon culture via her family,but it’s a universal constant that shooting at someone is a great way to convince their friends to shoot back. It’s clear from the Klingon dialogue & subsequent planning T’Kuvma was gonna shoot no matter what the USS Shenzou did.
What should have happened; the torchbearer’s death provokes the Klingons to war ,and Burnham is sentenced to jail for 25 years due to violating Georgiou’s direct orders to observe the object and come back to base. That accomplishes the same narrative goals her mutineering did without the logical fails. She’s still justifiably ostracized by others for starting a devestating war,and she spends the rest of the season atoning for that mistake.
It seems to me the Discovery storyline had a defined (and better) plan, and it’s sitting on the cutting room floor. Perhaps we’ll know what it was someday.

Kinda like how the United Kingdom replaces 'z' with 's' in some words.
My point is the British can't spell, and neither can Discovery. :-)
*sigh* My review of "Will You Take My Hand."
Fair warning, this is a pretty negative review. There were so many things I disagreed with that I was apprehensive to even write about the episode. In my view, they didn't stick the landing. Here's hoping they do next year.

USING AN S INSTEAD OF A Z IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO DAMNIT!
Every time I get a squiggly read line under a word like colonise or prioritise I smash a display case full of Enterprise's, both historical and current like Picard did in First Contact.
You mean the guys who wrote some of the best episodes of both DS9 and BSG?
I've never heard of this theory before... it'd have to be a GOOD fabrication to leak backwards through time to so that even Malcolm Reed and Admiral Marcus pick up on it!
Yes. Let's review what they wrote on DS9:
Rules of Engagement - Dumb Klingon law episode
The Assignment - Introduction to Pah Wraiths when Keiko is possessed by one.
Business as Usual - Fairly decent Quark episode
Sons and Daughters - Alexander comes back, Worf is still a terrible father. Oh, and stuff with Ziyal happens
One Little Ship - The shrunk runabout episode
Inquisition - Introduction of Section 31. Would have been a decent episode if it was left here.
The Reckoning - Another stupid Pah-Wraith episode, which culminates in a magic fight on the prominade. Sisko is out of character as he's willing to sacrifice his son for the will of the prophets.
Time's Orphan - The episode where Molly falls through a time portal and ages 10 years
Treachery, Faith, and the Great River - A legitimately good episode revolving around Weyoun/Odo (A plot) and Nog (B plot)
Prodigal Daughter - An absolutely abysmal attempt to round out Ezri by showing us her family.
Til Death Do Us Part - Forgettable second episode in the final ten-episode arc. Most notable for Dukat and Winn hooking up - and of course the Sisko wedding.
Extreme Measures - SLOAN'S BRAIN!!!!11!!11!1!!
From the looks of it, Weddle/Thomas are behind two of the worst aspects of DS9 - Section 31 and the Pah Wraiths. Most of the remainder of their episodes were just terrible concepts, and often bad at execution as well. I think they did two genuinely good episodes (Business as Usual and Treachery, Faith, and The Great River). But if I was going to pick the best writer on DS9, it was definitely Peter Allan Fields.

They also wrote on The Strain, so there's ample evidence both ways.
(And I like The Strain ☺)
