Didn't Time Agent Daniels need to recruit "Seven of Nine" because certain Borg Implants she has are superior to tech that he had access to?
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x09 - "Lagrange Point"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Daniels did no such thing. Captain Braxton of USS Relativity did that.
Ah, got the wrong Time Traveler, you're correct.
There's only one L1 LaGrange point for a pair of objects and it is unstable.
There are other types of LaGrange points and some of the those are stable. But this one appeared to be an L1 being between the two black holes.

Sometimes they invent a better box, which seems to be the case for this story.
Look the episode was fine and I hate myself for beating this dead horse again but I cannot for the life of me get past the fact that Burnham and Book had a heart to heart whilst undercover on an enemy ship when time was of the essence in plain sight. I am stupefied. It embodies every beef I’ve had with the show for a couple of seasons now.
I miss the smoking TOS transporters especially the cool sound that went along with it. They should bring that back.
But the tech is all just window dressing for the stories.
Hard science fiction (which I also like) can really get into that stuff. But Trek isn't that!
They had all those hours on Discovery while the ship was being repaired, they could've had their "Heart to Heart" moment while on the ship, then go undercover.
There was no logical reason to have it while in enemy territory.
The same type of multi-dimensional sensors that lets them track the Spore Drive when it jumps between dimensions.
Disco's gonna Disco. At this point, the only possible response to the criticisms about the heart to hearts at inappropriate moments is "are you really surprised?"
It's well used trope. Especially in the action genre. Live and death situation people like to bare souls. Not sure why one would be bothered by it,
It would be more effective and less obtrusive if it wasn’t employed all the time always
Tropes gonna trope
It is overused on DIS. But, it's baked into the cake by now. It's a legit criticism but if you keep watching you just have to accept it. Disco's going to Disco as @The Wormhole says.
Emotions are not rational.
And frankly, we got enough of the advancements shown. Casually transporting within the ship. Control systems modified to an individuals’ needs. Plenty of good stuff.
And it’s fallacy to assume ALL tech must be even more advanced just by the virtue of passing years. If the Burn didn’t ever happen, maybe technology in the 32nd century would be even more advanced than it is currently depicted. It took about 60 years to go from the Wright brothers to the first moon landing, but then human space travel hasn’t traversed beyond that for the last 60 years.
So many variables could probably explain why technology in the 32nd century isn’t as big of a leap from the 24th century compared to the leap from the 16th to the 24th, but that’s not what this show is about. It’s still a Star Trek series that runs on its own signature tropes.
Pretty sure there was moments throughout the show.

I thought the same thing, but it didn’t bother me.
The episode was pretty good.
