USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

That's Mirror Picard.

I can tell by the beard and some of the pixels.

(and he's squinting because he's sensitive to our light)

:D
 
This is why the discoprise looks like it does.

Maths.
Any idea why people in non-Canadian Commonwealth countries pluralize maths? I ask, because it's always singular in the States: math. (Can't speak for Canada, though.)

*checks the Google, writes in note about Canada*

Oh, I see: maths is an abbreviation of mathematics. Yeah, mathematics is always plural here in the States. Here the abbreviation of mathematics is math.

Neat!

I always assumed it stood for more then one type of math. So geometry, trig, calculus, etc..made math a plural, maths..which makes sense that way.

Tho when I was a kid, I didn't know the term TARDIS stood for what it was. Based on my childlike assessment, I just went off the atributes..

Time
Arranging
Rearranging
Dimensional
Interdimensional
Subsystem.

Time-Obvious...
Arranging-exterior shell
Rearranging- interior console rooms
Dimensional- refers to interiors
Interdimensional- refers to scale
Subsystem- tunnel travel thru the time vortex, a sort of Time Lord intergalactic subway system.

~Cheers maths friends.lol
 
Mirror Picard looks like John M. Jackson.

This is the one he always posts ;)

I'm still trying to figure out who that is. It's probably painfully obvious and I have a few guesses, but with the lighting and her funny face, I just can't figure it out. And it bugs me every time he posts the picture.
 
There are also various strands of Mathematics, so it makes sense as a plural.

Algebra, Calculus and analysis, Geometry and topology, etc
