There are lots of reasons why Titan might have gone independent, just as colonies in actual Earth history became independent. But in the particular situation, it makes sense to me that an Earth that was in turmoil from the Burn and/or Starfleet picking up stakes would become insular and be like, "Colonies, you're on your own."
no doubts, but not even bothering sending an happy Christmas message once a year?
Dilithium is the most valuable commodity in the galaxxy because of the Burn, from everything stated on teh show this season. Why wouldn't they be raiding for dilithium?
More like “how”. Suddenly they have better ship than Earth’s...Until they’re actually very bad ships (but if they where how were they able to do the raids?).
Why is the story of it being a generaitonal story inherently silly, and who says they bought it? They did conduct a massive inspection and before things were through, it became clear that while the story was a lie, they were in fact a ship with Earth roots.
Why is it silly that the descendants of a generational ship would keep on wearing the uniforms of their ancestors?
If they were a ship from the 30th century the story would be fine. But if today we found a Roman galley with people in full Roman costumes pretending to be the descendants of a XIX century crew we would be very perplexed.
Where was it said that the Enterprise had only six, always?
The Alternative Factor.
Also, they burn crystals in WNMHGB and Elaan of Troyus, where the necklace is enough to restore power.
Where do you get that they are acting like they spent several years? Why couldn't it just be a very eventful year, in which they had a lot of adventures together, as opposed to several less eventful years?
In a few months she has had A LOT of adventures with Book, searches for the cause of the burn and even “gave up” on discovery.
Forgot to mention, I chuckled when tilly said she was always sure she would see Michael again: of course she was, from her point of view they were separated for a day or so!
Someone has got to man the fort, and Sahil probably is it. Of course, it may be that Sahil has gotten dispatched on his own adventures...or just dispatched. I'm sure we will revisit him before too long.
Hope so. Right now book has permanently moved to earth’s area and there are few reasons to go back.
Who says that EDF didn't know that the raiders were humans?
Well, what’s the point of the big reveal at the end and the immediate change of attitude, then?
Aside from the possible lack of resources, I think we were told about problems with subspace in one of these first couple of episodes.
even with a old-school radio titan is minutes away...
Why bother? You can't un-explode the ships a century later. The dilithium that has survived works just fine. It's not an ongoing issue. I suppose vengeance? Seems easier to just find a dilithium planet somewhere though.
Well, might be a good idea to understand what happened to find a way to prevent it from happening again.
Having Earth be the one to abandon the Federation instead of being the last bastion, the last hope, trying to keep it together feels like they are trying to make social commentary on Trump’s America and his America First desire to pull us out of NATO, etc... Honestly, it’s one twist I never would have seen coming. I would have expected Earth to be the brightest of those last 6 stars on the Federation Flag.
naaa, it would have been way too easy.
