Spoilers The fate of the Federation
- Thread starter Unimatrix Q
- Start date
The UT we've seen has been "taught" as it goes (ENT) and I'd assume as new languages are discovered (later series'), they would be added in as well. But if a UT was on it's own for 1000 years, would it automatically "get" that drift? Even if it could, it might take a while.
Maybe the reason for V'Draysh not being translated by the Universal Translator is that although Federation was the origin of that word, it may have a different or additional meaning
As V’Draysh seems to be a proper noun the UT wouldn’t necessarily translate it. Hoshi had the same issue with “Rigel” in “Broken Bow”
I'd like to think, now, the final captain of Discovery was Steve Zissou, and he just forgot where he parked Discovery while searching for the rare or non-existant jaguar gormagander, taking the entire crew on two shuttles to go find it.I do, however, have that John Denver song in my head now...
Perhaps V'Draysh is a name for the multi species hybrids, we know about from Daniels and the Temporal Cold War arc in Enterprise. If they exist in this timeline.
Yeeeeeeah ... lets just give this one a pass.
I do hope they get this season right. Hit the ground running.
It is? I say "day".
Ooh that’d be cool. Didn’t Phlox say Daniels was “more or less” human?
And DSC did like its Enterprise references in s1 so maybe they’ll have more in s2...
Perhaps Alcor IV has such a different orbit around its sun (vs. Earth) that Alcorians had to invent a whole new way of day- and time-keeping.
They seem to be still around,Craft recognized the Discovery s something like His enemies and her age. So they are the federation as the author says or something descended from the Federation
Not to throw a wrinkle into this, but do we even know that "Calypso" takes place 1,000 years after 2258? It could be 1,000 years after some other point. If Discovery ended up some time in the past or future, it could be that time -- whenever it was -- plus the 1,000 years.
It could be the 33rd Century, and probably is. But there's no way to know for sure.

Yes
Do they actually give a specific time in the episode, or does that only come from the trailer?
I honestly don't really remember anymore. But I kinda' thought the "1000 years" was more a rough estimate (as vague as the rest of the future worldbuilding), than a specific date.
V'Draysh...
Veh + der + ay + sh (n), Federation. Writer is messing with us and has a case of the V'gers.

V'Draysh obviously comes from Federation but for all we know it refers to a Ferengi/Bajoran alliance or some random species, a lot can happen in a 1000 years.
Just like in the 18th century the "Holy Roman Empire" was basically germany and didn't even include rome or significant italian territories anymore the name "federation" might have shifted to a different power while the majority of what we know as the UFP continues to exist as the "Quandican Union" (don't ask me what quandican means, I just pressed buttons until it looked like a name).

I never thought of that - if they were sent back in time, and the 1000 year wait is to sync up with the present they left?
