Spoilers The Science Behind Discovery's Burn

Not the silliest thing in Star Trek tbh

Yes, but as we have learned, if Discovery does it it's bad, and even if past Star Trek has done something that doesn't make it good

But the science of Dr. Crusher's grandma's candle with the fuck ghost in it is legit.

Honestly you fuck an alien ghost one time and you never hear the end of it do you?

Just like blowing up solar systems.

Hang on now. Ghost sex isn't on par with blowing up solar systems surely?

I was just referencing Stargate, your post was very similar to a quote from the show, except it's about blowing up a Solar System not a sex ghost.

I cannot buy that his voice, Inside a ship, has enough power to excite the real space Dilithium resonance nearby. Much less over the entire planet.

Oh right.

Ghosts aren't supposed to have sex with the living. That's the first thing they tell you when you die.

Not necessarily. The legislation varies depending which country you die in.

Not even top 10.

Spock came back from the dead because the Genesis Device used protomatter. Also if you go too fast you turn into a salamander.

There are pills that can give psychic powers and water that makes you move so fast you can't be seen.

I feel like citing the worst episodes that everyone hates out of the past half-century of Star Trek as precedent isn’t the rousing endorsement of Discovery it’s being presented as.

I don't hate Wink of An Eye or Plato's Stepchildren. Not a fan of Sub-Rosa, though. Threshold wasn't as bad as it's rep. I reserve my ire for Alternative Factor, Masks and Move Along Home.

You know, maybe that's what the previous Star Treks have been missing, esteemed science experts explaining the science in the episodes. I mean who doesn't want an actual scientist explaining candle ghost sex or warp 10 salamanders?

Its more a matter of precedent and standards to me. If it bothers you I can understand it taking away enjoyment. But often I see Discovery cited as the worst, ruining the brand, poorly written that will end the franchise. That's when I go

I mean, all that is true. And it will remain so until SNW comes along.

I don't watch Star Trek for lessons in science. But treating scientific accuracy on Discovery as an unique flaw while dismissing it in the other Treks is just special pleading.

That could be a fun game: What do you think is the silliest thing in Trek? I imagine people would pick very different things XD

There have been many energy beings all across the shows.

That's their favorite argument: "Disco's silly things are no problem because there were other silly things that I found stupid myself" ...logical only to them, I guess XD
