Oh, Jesus and Surak and Kahless), this initially looked like a story that I'm going to like for its adventerous space opera value but in the end it turned to such a dramatic piece that this will really something I'm (ironically enough) eager to see once again and I am extremely curious what my father will say.

To recapitulate som of my thoughts:

- This is looking like some Star Trek guide for sex. You might shag hot babe but be aware she might find your Teddy Bear.

- Ha! Starship Miyatzaki. I suppose it was attacked by Nausicaans!

- No, my bad, they are looking like aliens... Some kind of aliens from the original Star Wars Expanded Universe, to be honest.

- OK, there were some convoluted parts. Starfleet contacting Nus Braka so easily, for one thing and he is talking about long journey between planets that sound how they should be part of the same solar system, to be honest. Also, I think the Miyazaki computer would have to be pretty dumb to accept comic book as a fact.

- Who knew that Tarima was Necromancer from Raised by the Wolves!

- You killed the Vulcan who was also comic book reader?! You are begging for some drastic attack by the Comic-Con Klingons, my friends. On the other hand, B'Avi cited Spock from Star Trek II so maybe Nus Braka stole the Genesis device (that will be recovered by the cadet Lythe) and will resurrect him.

For us sure, for Star Trek of the 32nd century it should be relatively simple.

Or not. Because sometimes people die.

Oh, Jesus and Surak and Kahless),

And the wee targ too?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Amazing how so many fans are baffled and angered by Star Trek things that have been in Star Trek since 1966.

You got Star Trek in my Star Trek!!!!!

 

[cooleddie74]

I wish some of these arguments had actual arguments in them.

 

[Set Harth]

yo dawg i heard you like star trek so i put some star trek in your star trek so you can star trek while you star trekking

Also, I have some premonitions about the TV Tropes entry for the WHAM Episode...

The what now?

 

[tenmei]

The what now?

From tvtropes

The point in a series where the story takes a sudden dramatic turn. Things will never be quite the same again.

 

[Fateor]

Or not. Because sometimes people die.

And 800 years ago people lived when they were stabbed in the heart by a giant knife.

Or had their lungs physically removed from their body.

Needs of the plot. Not every injury can be treated the same way. "It's the future!!!!" is not the answer. And it's foolish to think it is.

Re: the color of B’Avi’s blood: Checked the episode again, and while it just looks black / dark at first glance, it does indeed appear to be red when you brighten the image. So yeah, that‘s likely a mistake that happened during post production when they added the blood spatter effect, as it should really be green like the makeup on his face a moment later.

View attachment 52132

During the zoom chat yesterday, I defended that as possibly residual glow from the red weapon used on B'Avi.

Now that I see this (and checking again on my tv), I agree this was a full blown mistake on the post production people, so I will have to retract my defense of it. (Thanks for posting the comparison images, by the way.)

This now goes back to what I said in the previous episode about all the simple errors on Sisko's family tree. It feels like the producers/writers are not in full contact with the post production crew. There seemed to be more interdepartmental checking with each other in the Berman era than there is now. Errors in the franchise are not new... they crop up now and then. But I give more of a pass to the Berman era because they were making 26 episodes a season (per show) for most of the runs of those shows in a single year vs. this era, with only 10 episodes being produced and almost 2 years between seasons. It's a lot harder to be forgiving of such glaringly obvious errors.

If he needed to die for the plot they could have had his body "poof" like they were always doing with people shot by phasers in Discovery.

Bodies equal dramatic story visual telling, Again for the plot to have impact.

There was no reason to do that.

The Furies love to eat their prey, so they would rather not vaporize them.

To recapitulate som of my thoughts:

- This is looking like some Star Trek guide for sex. You might shag hot babe but be aware she might find your Teddy Bear.

- Giving her mixed Betazoid/Deltan ancestry seems to be a nice in-joke, considering Betazoids are technically softer version of Deltans as per the production.

- Ha! Starship Miyatzaki. I suppose it was attacked by Nausicaans!

- No, my bad, they are looking like aliens... Some kind of aliens from the original Star Wars Expanded Universe, to be honest.

Tarima is not part deltan. Her first sexual experience was with a deltan

He was a red shirt who we only learned anything about this episode.

His death was never going to have anything but minimal impact to the viewer.

 

[fireproof78]

Only if the viewer is treating them as just a red shirt.
