Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x13 - "Such Sweet Sorrow" New Photo

Nice minifalda

But too much ice cream and she won't be able to get into it
Alien physiology. It's actually keeps her thin.
 
I saw "Runaway" and "Calypso" for the first time tonight
Obviously these shorts are made with sole intention of linking events in them to the main story arc, but can someone please tell me why Po isn't detected as an intruder, surely the ships computer would go into "Intruder Alert" mode ?
Also, how could Tilly just wander into the transporter room and beam her off board without alerting the Bridge ?
In "Calypso", are we to assume that Zora is the ship's computer as an evolved entity, or maybe that she is indeed, Control, banished to the future and feeling all nostalgic for human company.
There's got to be a big reveal regarding Zora and the abandoned ship awaiting it's crews return.
I know I'm talking shit here and probably stating the obvious, or even missing obvious pointers, but someone please enlighten me.

My theory is that Zora is the by-product of the Sphere Data merging with the ship's computer.

I didn't notice till rewatching it today that she somehow managed to use the computer in a nearby shuttlecraft to open the shipping container she was hiding in.
She was also able to make the food synthesizer in the mess hall go completely bonkers when she first met Tilly.

Both without physically touching anything.

SO, I'm gonna assume that she was more than capable of deceiving the Intruder Alert System in the shuttlebay and the rest of the ship.
:techman:


What I found most puzzling was how did Tilly managed to beam Po back to her planet without anybody on the bridge knowing?

How to we know she didn't touch anything? She had a personal cloak running and was functionally invisible.

She was INSIDE the shipping container when accessing the shuttle computer (which was across the shuttlebay) to open it.
 
I guess the next red burst signal will be next to Xahia.

As for Calypso, after the self destruct fails the ship is ordered to go hide somewhere until the Control threat is over, and it will be a 1000 years before someone finds it. Zora is either Airiam memories or the Sphere or both.

And maybe Zora is the one sending the signals.

As for Tilly smuggling Po out of the ship, the minisode doesn't actually make that explicit. For all we know, Po got treated to five dinners at the Captain's Table before the ship reached Xahea again, but the Captain (whoever that was!) discreetly stayed out of the transporter room for the final farewells.

The timing of "Runaway" is still rather open. Ensign Tilly has her medal from "Will You Take My Hand" and her forehead mole has been removed, so this ought to be at some point after or perhaps during said S1 episode. Or then during one of the lulls of S2, of which there were many. There isn't a sedate spot for it in the latter half of S2, though.

Po said she and the planet were born at the same time.
I have no clue at this point what that actually means, but she pretty much proved during the story that she was way beyond what most folks would call an idiot and bordered on savant.
Well, planets are either formed or built, so that's fake or a universal translator malfunction.
 
Or then planets are born. Nothing wrong with that choice of words as such.

Of course, an already existing planet might undergo a birth of some sort or another, either eighteen years before the events (to make the planet Po's twin) or then a bit longer agoe (to make the planet the twin to Po's species or culture or whatever). "Born-again" is classic doubletalk in many contexts today.

But then there's the chance of timey-wimey weirdness there, perhaps directly relating to the major events of S2...

She also turns off Tilly's screen in her quarters while both Po's hands are planted on her legs and she has a look of concentration on her face. There's no doubt in my mind that the short intends to portray either Po or Xaheans in general as having some kind of power over technology at a distance.

Well, planets are either formed or built, so that's fake or a universal translator malfunction.
She actually says her species was born at the same time as her planet. Considering all Po's neat tricks (Jem'Hadar shroud, spines coming out of her back, controlling technology with her mind) it's not out of realm of possibility that her race was constructed.
 
Good theories guys, always a school day on here.
I also tend to think that Airiams memories have allowed the ships computer to evolve as Zora
I found "Calypso" to be disconcerting, the ghosts of the crew clung to every wall, but it was a very interesting short.
For me there were too many variables in "Runaway" that weren't addressed, but if you only have 15 minutes it's near impossible to do that, hence we appear to be at Xahea in this weeks episode.
Maybe Po was created, an artificial life form either linked to the "timey wimey" thing, or Control, or the signals that appear in the cosmos.
I've said it previously in other threads, but I fear that the writers are running out of time to resolve everything before seasons end, meaning that Season 3 will almost be a recurrence of Season 2's arc.
My thoughts, be gentle.
