Spoilers STD 1x03 Preview [and for the rest of the season]

Another oddity? How do these other criminals even know who she is? Is there a Starfleet Court TV where everyone can watch? By all the darkness at the tribunal, another thing that clashes with TOS, they wanted this all to be secret.

You're famous!

But this is supposed to be an enlightened society. Do they not believe in rehabilitation?

They will, ten years later. But then it's said to be a new thing those ten years later. And that by 2256, Dr. Adams has only been at it for about ten years, presumably not yet achieving so much as to make Starfleet drop torturing people with freedom deprivation in the hopes of deterring them from a life of crime.

We seem to be drawing big conclusions of a "court scene" that really is but a snippet. Why should we assume it to have been any different from Kirk's SB11 trial, light levels notwithstanding? Burnham could well have had a counsel for her defense. Heck, possibly a competent one at that, unlike Kirk.

Not sure if anyone saw this yet but Ain't It cool news's Herc claims to have seen 1x03 and mentions some interesting things in one of those episode FAQs that they do:
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/78653

Take with a grain as always with internet reporting...

Although he claims the writing only improves a little in ep3, more interesting to me were details like:

New Away mission uniforms that he thought were much better than standard uniform (how could they be worse)
Finding out what DSC's mission is (He doesn't say but apparently their mission is more specific)
Saru hesitating to answer when Burnham asks if DSC is a science vessel.
Intra-ship teleportation without using transporters?
DSC may be more advanced than the yet-to-be-seen Connie class.
Claims security on the ship is lame especially after we find out what the ship is up to ( this is kind of interesting. What are they up besides fighting a war).
Burnham was on her way to do hard labor prison time on a mining colony. Man, Starfleet is tough in this iteration.

Bit of snippy review - Reviewers like Herc tends to have their favourites s on that site - sounds like he's pissed Fuller (Who he always mentioned ad nausea m before) left/fired. The whinging about the uniforms was a bit pathetic...But I like the sound of the 'black alerts' stuff though! Looking forward to ep 3!
 
Lets speculate:

1 - They (the STD production) have created a great number of klingon cloths.
2 - Tukuva speaks as he was spelling silabe by silabe words, maybe because they have created a special artificial Klingon idiom and need to speak it.

So in STD,I conclude that klingons come to stay
 
Better question. How long is it between the first stardate mentioned and the day she arrives on USS Discovery? How long has the war been going on at that point?

in that scene they speak about the 8000+ Death in the first 2 days of war, so probably a bit more than 2 days
 
There was a bunch of crystals in the OP of the show. Could that be a tell that Discovery will experiment with dilithium crystals? I don't recall those being used on Enterprise a hundred years prior to Discovery. Just that all the Earth style engines seem to use antimatter reactors.

dilithium was mentioned in Enterprise, they did use it.
 
BSG was doomed when they sstarted to talk about God and angels, episode 1x01, but we are OT
In the beginning I thought it was just going to be a way to show that the cylons were a new race, still simple in their beliefs, and that god would end up being a new take on the imperious leader or some long dead human they deified. They should have embraced the machine, not the intangible.
 
Oh dear God, it's real isn't it?

That ridiculous space shroom powering the Discovery REALLY IS A THING, isn't it?

http://www.cinemablend.com/televisi...roduce-new-technology-despite-being-a-prequel

it appears that somehow space mushrooms will be able to be utilized in some unique way in order to create technology we have not previously seen in Star Trek.

Is this what happens when too many non-sci-fi geeks get involved with a sci-fi show? Sooner or later one of them say: "What's so weird about space-shrooms powering the ship?! It's not any less out there than antimatter reactors and holograms, is it?"
 
Except it's clearly inspired/based on existing technology -

Perhaps in the desperate eyes of a fan who tryhards a little too hard to make this seem any less ridiculous.

Except for the part where both concepts incorporate organic matter in some form, they have virtually nothing in common.

You might as well say that a warp drive is based on steam engines because they both have pipes.

The previous warp drives ran on crystals and Anti-matter, whats wrong with running on bio-fuel?

Because!!!! A propulsion system that relies of fictitious crystals is far more plausible and realistic than one that runs on fictitious biofuel!!!!

FOOLS!!!!
