Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x04 - "Forget Me Not"

[TimeIsAPredator]

Other than Flotter on Voyager, and a few other brief mentions, we've never really gotten an idea of what pop culture is like in the 23rd or 24th, or no 32nd centuries.

Because of Flotter we will never again get to see future culture. Its banned after that mess

Flotter reminds me of Zoobilee Zoo.

Anyone here who wasn't a little kid (or a parent of a little kid) in the mid-'80s should consider themselves lucky if they don't know what I'm talking about.

Future pop/high culture references usually work best in list form: real Human, real Human, future Human, alien
"The comedy greats: Chaplin, Carlin, Goldbaum, G'rrenxx of Alcore IX.."

Uhura singing Beyond Antares in a 60's style did not take one out of the episode of TOS so the franchise can make their own culture shit up, especially when their real life cultural references are always from North America.

Hey, Stamet's uncle was in a Beatles cover band.

Possible. I was just picturing an older Stamets.

Who knew that Det. Brody from Night Heat was leading a double life as Whazzat Kangaroo.

Didn't you ever read the opening of Paul Stamets' own bio?

It starts with: "I was born a poor black child..."

That was one of the best episodes of trek i've seen in a long time. It had the right pace allowing me to absorb the emotions and not pew pew

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Zora was discussed at an earlier point, and whether the voice was the same as in Calypso.

Annabelle Wallis is listed as a guest for this episode.

Sorry if this was covered already.

 

[Amasov]

Such a beautiful story.

This is an episode, in my opinion, that will very well be spoken in the same breath as The Inner Light and The Visitor.

But also, I think just in general, character moments and emotional moments were the stars of the episode. This was strictly a character piece that, unfortunately, Discovery hasn't done enough of in the two seasons prior. I want more of THIS.

 

[F. King Daniel]

They always show such dreadful movies in the future.

Linus ohhh Linus.

I don't have a problem with them showing an old movie in the cargo bay, because it's basically been established the ship's computer is Zora now. We know Zora had a thing for old-time movies, so...of course that's what she would suggest.
