Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x03 - "Point of Light"

[Tuskin38]

Has "K'tinga" ever been said on-screen? Because "D7" was first used in Voyager, referring to the exact same CG model reused for Enterprise.

Because it was easier to reuse that model.
And no, the name comes from the TMP novelization.

It's best to ignore the K't'inga in ENT and VOY as a continuity error, nothing more.
They made an era appropriate design for ENT, the D4, but the producers said no.

Heck, Michael grew up with Spock and this is the first she's heard about his childhood visions. Apparently it was something that was not spoken of in the Sarek household.

In things regarding Sarek and Amanda being his parents, Michael, Sybok and now the Red Angel, it always seems to be that Spock will not divulge something until he's asked or it becomes relevant.

What's Kevin Bacon's rating?

Adolf Hitler was in Theresienstadt (1944) with Kurt Gerron who was in Vom Täter fehlt jede Spur (1928) with Ernst Stahl-Nachbaur who was in Der 20. Juli (1955) with Maximilian Schell who was in Telling Lies in America (1997) with...

Kevin Bacon

...who was in The Air I Breath with Brendan Fraser who was in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with...


Michelle Yeoh


So, there you have it, folks. Her ties to the Third Reich are obvious and undeniable.

I, for one, prefer not to split hairs as to D7 vs. K'Tinga. They're basically the same thing, just like the refit 1701 Enterprise is the same ship and class as the original.

Actually, there's a quicker way according to The Oracle of Bacon:

Adolf Hitler was in The Eternal Jew (1940) with Curt Bois, who was in Garden of the Moon (1938) with Larry Williams, who was in Apollo 13 (1995) with Kevin Bacon.

That settles it - Georgiou is literally Hitler.

I gave it a 6. It was fine. Had some holes. Maybe a 7. I do not usually give 9/10s often. Those are classic episodes.

The Amanda/Pike/Burnham stuff was excellent.

The Tilly stuff was poor in the main. She wins the marathaon? She quits? She knows Stamets sees dead people in sporeland and tgen starts seeing dead people after being exposed to spores and yet cannot make the connection herself (2+2 for a math major?) AND does not even go to Stamets first? Weak.

I get we need to establish the method for Culber's return (which I thought WAS the Tilly spore), but it could have been done better.

I had no problem with the Klingon stuff. Gore or otherwise. Thought the L'Rell/Ash interpersonal stuff was actually quite good. Well rounded and well thought out. And the political stuff was OK.

Not sure I buy how Section 31 materializes to save the Chancellor's bacon just in the nick of time, but whatever. They needed a vehicle to get Ash back closer to Burnham and something for Yeoh to do. It was fine.

When it comes to conditions that affect the mind, people tend to have some denial or unwillingness to seek help for the matter when they are personally affected by it, at least in the early stages.

And did I hear correctly, or did Pike address Owosekun as "Owo" in that bridge scene? When Tilly used that nickname in the previous episode, I figured it was just a Tilly thing.

Yep

It's shorter than her full name - Owosekun Kenobi.

 

[Gepard]

I hope someday a character says "Owo, what's this?"

 

[Tuskin38]

TrekYards hosts are split on the episode, Samual liked it a lot, Foley is mixed.

But of course they loved the 2 new ships.

Also, who the hell is Khalessshhhhhh

A slightly less famous cousin of Khaless with a lisp?

Because they wouldn't suddenly get the name of the most famous Klingon ever wrong after saying it right for 32 years?

Maybe they're using the Klingon pronunciation. Maybe that's how in pronounced it's Marc Okrand's notes or whatever.

*smacks head* well first of all, it wasn't TNG, my bad, he was even in TOS.

And I can't remember a single Klingon ever calling him that, Khaless with a straight forward "ess" sound.

Khalessshhhhiiiiiii, mother of ̶d̶̶r̶̶a̶̶g̶̶o̶̶n̶̶s̶. Klingons.

Because they didn't follow the notes, if my theory is correct.

Pike's the only captain that still uses a viewscreen?

A few people taking that line very literally. It just meant "you're a bit old fashioned using a viewscreen". He used it so that the starbase guy couldn't see Amanda in the room, I'd suggest.

 

[Kane_Steel]

That's true. You don't believe what you read on the internet. You believe the YouTube videos you watch on the internet. Its a fine difference, but a difference nonetheless.

I came to the conclusion on my own. It's common sense. We've seen enough franchises (Kelvin Trek, Amazing Spider-Man, Ghostbusters, DCEU etc) pull the same PR tactics before to boost investor confidence, despite many announced projects ending up in development hell.

 

[Kemaiku]

Oof, it's going to be a real surprise to them when they finally crack open the encyclopedia or Memory Alpha and find out what else they got wrong.

Are they "pulling a PR tactic" or are they just projects that don't work out? Not every project somebody is Excited To Announce gets finished or released. There's no reason to think they invent them to fake success. Star Trek 4 was assumed to be a going concern when it was first announced. Franchise was going strong, writer keen, story idea already drafted. That things shuddered to a halt later on doesn't make that initial enthusiasm anything other than genuine.
