Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

I watched both episodes, and they were better than I expected. As for negative reactions, someone on another forum I frequent wondered if Ozempic existed in the 32nd century, which I thought was rather cruel.
 
You know what I have noticed. I think this is the first Trek show to only have one human as a series regular. Caleb is the only one. Everyone else is a alien or hologram or half Lanthanite which I think are aliens or I am really not sure what their deal is other than they were inspired by the Flint character on TOS.
 
A dilithium planet was found that helps with rebuilding and reconnecting, and then they developed the pathway drive which looks a lot like regular warp on a visual level (handy for us the audience) but it is different in an as of yet unspecified way. It's been 2 years since the pathway drive was perfected so we don't know how many ships are using it just yet, I imagine the Athena has one and the retrofit Discovery was undergoing could be to have one installed for the times when the ship doesn't need to spore jump.
Athena has a regular warp drive, this is specified in the episode when they call it a Warp Drive.


She did. Ships in the 24th century did recrystalise their dilithium but I suppose it just prolongs it and can't make it last forever.
Someone should have told that to Scotty given he's the one actually credited as discovering it.
