Even in a universe with Q?
In a universe where a character survives by transferring his immortal soul into his friend's brain while his body is resurrected and rejuvenated by a magic planet, which is unstable so it causes him to rapidly age until he's the same age he was when he died, and then his body and soul are reunited by a lady touching both his body and his friend at the same time.
Is Q inert?
Isn't it ironic that Roddenberry insisted that humanity, both in universe and in reality, would move beyond religion, but would invent an actual all-powerful being?
They can't travel at plot speeds because the plot crystals conveniently broke in a plot storm. Makes sense to me.
Watching this for the third time now.
I feel bad for Sahil. Every day he got up and did the same exact routine, then sat as his desk. Same clothes every day, same hair, same everything.
I'd go insane.
He was so happy when Burnham showed up and I can see why. "Yes! Finally! Someone else! Something happened! A break from the monotony!"

I’m afraid Qs have been part of Star Trek since the 80s (60s if you believe trelane was one), at this point there is no turning back.
i don’t know, might be only my impression but I believe he did something with his time, helping people and so on, the only reason Burnham arrival is special is because she’s Starfleet.
There was something that reminded me of Remains of the Day: servile dedication to routine. Perhaps Sahil's behavior will show itself to be a flaw?
It astounds me to this day.
IDIC.
I didn't think that there was. But, to expect some sort of scientific excellence with a universe with Q, with human psionics, with katras and on and on, dilithium burning up doesn't even make my top 10 of "Weirdest things in Trek" list, and that's a long list!
I like you.I hope every episode ends with a 5 min scene of the unveiling of a Federation flag.
Just for spite.
thinking in terms of star trek science and not real particles, and also since dilithium doesn't exist and can behave like wahteverthehellium, if we say dilithium is an extremely rare and special substance that makes warp travel easier, it must have some very special properties. and it is dangerous to work with. it blew up a fucking moon, once.
if it did have some kind of quantum entanglement that virtually every sample shared and someone or some natural effect triggered some rapid beta decay or whatever, then yes its kind of sort of plausible that something happened to it all at once
or maybe dilithium is an unstable substance that self destructs every few million years or so and this was an unlucky millenium. more will appear later. I'd rather star trek actually some some big mystery that WASN'T explaind but since we know its key to the season, it will be, and it won't be very interesting when we find out why, and yes, only Michael Burnham! can save it. She saves all the things. And she'll tell you why later, at length.

BTW, shouldn't Sahil have a prominent image or statue of Miles O'Brien? Continuity! 
Q reacts violently in the presence of a catalyst like Guinan.
By the way - since I don’t think it was mentioned - the idea of blowing up dilithium isn’t new: shatner uses it in the least book of his Mirror trilogy, where
(Yes, I know books are not canon, but still very similar concept)
The Preservers want to blow up all the dilithium in the Galaxy to kill off all life or something similar.
(Yes, I know books are not canon, but still very similar concept)
Or maybe a holographic O'Brien with the time written across his chest instead of the bird.BTW, shouldn't Sahil have a prominent image or statue of Miles O'Brien? Continuity!
