According to Southpark, he's a Talosian. Complete with huge head and bulging veins, like the TOS Talosians.

So you saw those mobile phone photos?

Speaking of South Park aliens, these guys need to be canon.

And also speak French.

ARGH

If anything, we should get that ice-cream crapping taco guy.

 

[cooleddie74]

A taco that craps ice cream? That'll be in the Picard series.

If so it better be fartless ice cream. Should have invented that by the almost 25th century

Well, Tilly drank her coffee with a milk substitute in The Runaway, so one could conclude lactose intolerance is largely managed the same way in the 23rd century as it's now.

Damn, someone should really start marketing lactose free products as fartless ones.

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I didn't think my comment was going to start a debate about lactose intolerance.

It was weird having Georgiou refer to her doppelgänger as the “Prime universe counterpart”. That’s what we call it. Having them call themselves that seems rather egotistical.

Have you met the human race?

Ha! Reminds me of the ArrowVerse where they keep calling their Universe Earth-1. Why are they the first Earth?

Ask the Silver Age Barry Allen. He started it all.

I don't know. It speaks to self-awareness that the MU isn't a "real place" per se. Which has been my theory for decades.

And probably some 4th-wall breaking Trolling. IE, fun.

And that's why we all love her most Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Kronos, Regina Andor, Emperor Philippa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centarius. For her humility

Although, technically, we live used to live on Earth Prime, according to at least the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earth era. And then Barry Allen screwed things up again.

They pretty much dumped the numbers after Earth-3. The next ones were X, S and Prime.

There are at least three others I'm aware of:

Earth-Four was home to the Charlton characters (such as Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, The Question and Nightshade).

Earth-Five was a universe briefly visited by the Phantom Stranger. He brought the regular Earth-One versions of Batman and Robin there so they could save the Thomas and Martha Wayne of this universe. (The Earth-Five Bruce Wayne saw the whole thing, and was so inspired by it that he became Batman anyway, even though his parents weren't murdered like the regular Batman's were.)

Earth-Six was a universe where America lost the Revolutionary War and the planet came to be ruled by a royal family of superheroes (Lord Volt, Lady Quark, Princess Fern).

Oh, there have been a crapton of both numbered and non-numbered Earths in the DC Multiverse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DC_Multiverse_worlds.

Trek's dip into multiversing seems amazingly restrained by comparison, even where 'Parallels' and where Wesley Crusher, the entirity of non-canon works etc. is concerned.

Retro numbered during the Crisis On Infinite Earths. COIE was the first time the Charlton characters appeared in DC Comics, same for Lady Quark's family. I don't think the Earth where Bruce's parents lived had a number originally. These days Earth 5 is where the Marvel Family lives.

Martin-Green really showed off her acting chops here. She did a great job of selling the anguish of an abandoned child. The script itself really just felt like expositional filler. Lots of people standing around shooting technobabble at each other. Not sure why they added another episode when it feels like they don't have enough story for all the episodes that were originally planned. Even with all the balls they have in the air.

.

Actually I've been really enjoying all the technobabble this season. It feels like a nice throwback to 90s Trek in that way, and I love that they're not afraid to go crazy with it now. Especially after the Abrams films where everything got dumbed down considerably for general audiences.

 

[Mr Awe]

I'm glad Terralysium was brought up. By having a human civilization that was pre-warp and far away from everything else, it guaranteed that some humans would survive no matter what Control did. And by lifting them from the WWIII Era, you have a group of people where it would never seriously occur to anyone that they were sent to the other side of the galaxy. Then later on, post-warp Earth and eventually the Federation would never go looking for them.

Unfortunately, what happens is that Control does find them, begins to assimilate them, and the starts the Borg collective, which finally explains why the Borg were humans!

[/wakes up from nightmare]

 

[SolarisOne]

I'll be glad for this season to end, just to stop all the speculation concerning the Borg.
