She's one person. Not Starfleet or official Federation representatives making a diplomatic contact.
- Yes.
- They beamed down to make contact and got captured.
All that is a feature, not a bug. The future is more futuristic now than in the 1960s.
Why is it a problem? "Another timeline" is just a phrase like "Abra Cadabra."
I just don’t know what to say. It is just excusing poorly thought out writing.
Of course, if the nuke came from domestic enemy forces...
No it's not. They thought it through based on her Bio screen. It will probably be explained better when it's more important to the story.
Well, I wouldn't have done it. I love fanwank and continuity as much as any fan but at least the propmaker had the text on the PADD to leave the whole incident vague and unofficial, at least to everyone except La'an.
Fair enough that you can picture that. I don't. So far as I'm concerned that's a wash. Further, putting a spoiler tag in a thread that already allows for SNW spoilers (check the title), one could assume that what I placed a spoiler tag over was not related to SNW or the SNW episode being discussed. But maybe that's just how I picture what spoiler tags might be for.
But you have verifiable experience with them, and for some reason they now eat humans or lay babies in them. And I'm betting they will be around before the end of the first season.
One witness who was a child who experienced extreme trauma and was found on a life boat.
None of the other series ever said they don't eat humans or do the other thing.
The person that played Captain Batel also played Wynonna Earp. Considering how often ads of her show on played on CTV-SciFi channel (oh how I loathe that name, that channel was already perfectly branded as Space!), I’m surprised I did not recognize her.
Archer sure has a lot of things named after him. How come we never see a USS T’Pol or USS Phlox or USS Hoshi Sato or USS Soval or USS Maxwell Forrest or USS Zefram Cochrane in these Kurtzman shows? Yet Stamets from Discovery has a shuttlecraft named after him already?
How did Spock reach Earth so quickly? This is like how Archer reach Qonos in a few days when Qonos is a thousand light years away from Earth.
So that footage of Washington D.C., NYC, and Paris being destroyed in 2053 were in real time huh? Wow.
I like that the events of DIS S2 finale had far reaching consequences and was the reason for this episode. This is how you get the audience to care about what is happening.
There definitely seems to be a lot of energy in this show. Like they learned from the Kelvin movies and Discovery and struck a balance.
Not sure how to judge this as it seems like we are still being introduced to characters, such as Hemmer. But I like the direction the show is trending in, and is something I can see myself rewatching over and over again.

I doubt they went through with her giving Pike a vivid recollection to call her a liar later on.
Just because a show hasn't said something before doesn't make it a good idea to include it now.
....touché.
That doesn't make any sense. ENT exists in this universe and it had human-rated transporters. Ergo transporters weren't new. Also there's nothing in TOS to indicate that they were.
Yes there were only three; Number One explains the circumstances of their imprisonment.
Why are you being so defensive? You don't think it's reasonable to assume that spoilers in this thread relate to this series? How was I to know?
"Your logic is flawed" isn't some mental breakdown. It's a statement of fact. That you don't like it doesn't entitle you to psychoanalyse people.
Again, that doesn't follow. You're assuming that any nuclear exchange would use their entire stockpile. We don't even know who the participants were or what the events leading up to it were.
Maybe they were "inspired" by what they saw and they had instruments that were able to detect anti-matter and put two and two together.
A 600 million death toll isn't even a third of the world's population as it would probably stand in the middle of the 21st century, either in the Trek universe or our reality. I guess Pike could have gotten his numbers wrong or he counted the injured and maimed and those directly impacted by severe radiation sickness but, yeah, Trek descriptions of the Third World War tend to be incomplete or conflict with one another.
Has anyone figured out what the "wipe under the eye" gesture that M'Benga and La'an shared in sickbay meant?
I just re-watched that scene and still don't see how Chapel had time to create these gene-altering injections seeing as the plan of going down to the planet in disguise seemed to have just been made in the conference room. Ad how would she know enough about the natives to make Pike and Co. look like them on a genetic level? I get why they went further than using simple cosmetic alterations so the problem with Spock's disguise could pose a problem later, but these things could have been better explained.

Wasn’t that in the mirror universe?
Nope. "Bound." The Orion slave girl episode near the end of the series.
Who knows how fast 23rd century tech works in these matters? Besides, as mentioned before editing can be misleading sometimes.
As for how they had their DNA on file... I have no idea.
