    Saru, Tilly, Stamets and Culber have all proven to be perfectly capable. Vance is probably one of the best SF admirals we've seen in a bit.

    I don't see them being underminded to make Burnham look better...:shrug:

    At least not in the same way that Shatner did to Nimoy. :rommie:

    Star Trek particle beams are about as science as Jesus raising Lazarus

    She directly undermined Sarus captaincy.

    Book and Nahn have already received the treatment.

    Culber also had a scene on the seed ship when he told Burnham she'd need to go save the day. Would that talk not have been better coming from a Doctor?

    That's your opinion. I see it different.

    I wasn't replying to you in my post, so no need to apologise or speak "code".

    I'd suggest you jog on (more code for you) if you don't understand or know how to polity ask for an explanation.

    Indeed, yes. IDIC and all that.

    Yeah, that was clumsy - moreso as it immediately followed an episode in which Culber sent her down to Trill with Adira for no apparent reason. It's one thing for her to be a central figure in an event for logical reasons (important to the Vulcans & Romulans because of being Spock's brother, saving Disco because she arrived separately, etc), but there was a bit of shoehorning going on.

    I love that nod to TOS. The Romulans in TNG never gave that salute and it's awesome that DSC reached back to the first series to expand on Romulan as well as Vulcan culture.

    Impossible, no one on the DISCO staff has ever watched Star Trek or even likes it.

    It sucks it ended up on the cutting room floor but you've gotta give credit where credit is due.

    On a similar note, Star Trek Picard used theme music for the Romulans that hasn't been heard since the original series.

    Nope. In fact they are trying to seek all copies to destroy it!

    For 30 years I worked in the real general public: high schoolers. I would show the Enemy Within to my psych classes.

    The vast majority of students had never seen any Trek. Not even the new movies. Not Pine, not Shatner. They sort of knew it was a scifi thing. CBS only came on my last two years. Maybe it's changed a little.

    Avengers, yes. Star Trek, not really.

    When a new SW movie came out, there'd even be a good chunk of kids who hadn't seen any SW ever.

    We often way overestimate what the general public thinks of Trek.

    Indeed, yes. A tendency to assume experiences are similar to our own. I am very guilty of that, though I strive to be better.

    that was a nice idea. Indeed too bad it was cut.

    true, and to great effect, but saying that it was “the Romulan music in TOS”, as many do, is a bit of an exaggeration: TOS used that music for the Romulans and plenty of other villains.

    It's true, I caught Kurtzman in my house trying to take all my DVDs. Michelle Paradise was outside in car at the curb with the motor running.
