Why Spore Drive may not work in the future

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

It could be that NCC 1030 is a backup research ship that section 31 controls while the discovery is the main ship.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

What we need is some... bacteria AND a tardigrade.. ooh make it big!

 

[Push The Button]

The Klingons develop a Clorox torpedo and use it to kill the spore network.

 

[alex08060]

Klingons would want the spore drive themselves.

 

[Longinus]

Well Captain Lorca seems to have a lot of power getting Micheal recruited just like that.

Spoiler

It is revealed in the next episode that he recruited her by perfectly normal Strarfleet means. He discusses it with the admiral. Burnham was basically drafted.

How is that obvious? Why couldn't Ripper have bucked like a bronco in the harness or some such and that was the result?

Because they already explained what did it

You forgot - Humanity creating a Utopia and every Human being eliminating racism and bigotry in 350 years...<--- Given the length and nature of recorded Human history; Star Trek fans actually believe this tenet of Berman era Star Trek believable?

Well once you find out there are green , blue and piglike people out there hating on your fellow human being for being brown, female or gay looks even more insane than it is. All of a sudden black folks in New York can get a cab at night but blue folks...hell no!

My god, the Enterprise has been blown up to a gigantic size and it's about to crash into Iceland!

Which we've even seen before!

Spoiler

And the Glenn was NCC-1030. I doubt she is assigned to "Section 30" as a result.

Besides, it's already been explained that the registry number refers to Fuller's love of Halloween. Nothing more.

And (as noted) our more modern Discovery. And if anyone takes a peek at Fuller's twitter every October, it's absolutely insufferably obvious how much he loves it!

Nah...it killed random redshirt guy on the boarding party too...didn't it?

I forgot about Guy Fleegman

 

[Kevman7987]

I forgot about Guy Fleegman

"Is there air?! YOU DON'T KNOW!"

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Because they already explained what did it

They did? What was it?

 

[Tuskin38]

They did? What was it?

The drive malfunction.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

The drive malfunction.

Yes, right. And that was caused by....?

 

[Ronald Held]

Burn out the spore network?

 

[Kor]

They were trying to do giant donuts in space, which threw everything out of whack.

Kor

 

[Tim Thomason]

The spore drive is an impossible technology and amazing advancement that they'll forget about when the story is over. Just like every impossible technology and amazing advancement they have run across in Trek.

I hate that trope so much.

 

[rhllot]

torturing living beings is not something that is accepted in the federation

Yeah, because they forgot the giant cups of coffee to go along with the donuts.
