Yeah as it's how they decided which musicians going to be President of the European Commission for the year, it's pretty serious business.

Does Starfleet have singing competitions. Is it world based. Do they have to use Space AT&T to vote. How many worlds would be part of it. These are the sorts of questions I have always asked myself as of a minute ago.

Almost certainly they have things like that but we (almost) only got classical music for several reasons, probably the biggest being it's very hard to write something new and good, let alone alien Kingon Opera never wins though

I like the archivist Hy'rell. So seems like they will bring back L'ak and or the Kwejian world tree. Sure was a good thing there was one final failsafe protecting the progenitor tech that only Burnham knows how to bypass other they would've had to make a tough call between getting the tech and letting all the archivists and their relics get vaporized. Wow that ending sure was stupid. No idea why the show seems to intent on making Moll and L'ak so central to this season but it's absolutely dragging it down.

Incredibly minor thought: in the episode where billups's mother fakes her death, shouldn't the guy be sobbing 'Long live the King, the Queen is dead'? rather than 'Long live the Queen, the Queen is dead'? The phrase is meant to be about the succession, isn't it? Or maybe he was just calling Billups a queen.

"Discovery is definitely in the clear now, how to we make the Breen catch up?" "Some dumb space magic happens and they track them" "Ok, but now Discovery clearly has another advantage, how do we let the Breen catch up?" "Some dumb space magic happens and now it will take a long time for them both to get there"

I remember that Bashir and O'brien were meant to sing Queen or some other karaoke standard in the scene in Explorers, but they couldn't clear the song so Siddig and Meaney decided on Jerusalem instead

Similarly, 95% of the DISCO S3 finale would have been circumvented had Tilly just spore-jumped somewhere away and safe, left the Orion dreadnought to get itself killed in that nebula following them, and jumped few hours later back to pick up the away team with the pacified Su'Kal.

Reno mentioned doing work near Hysperia and partying with Hysperians, it took me a sec but searched to confirm. Billups from Lower Decks is Hysperian and they are the Ren Fair cosplay species.

Best just to assume there are a whole bunch of them but starfleet never visit cos it would make a pretty boring episode. "So you're still having an amazingly chill time doing your thing?" "yep" "cool, cool, cool, so we'll just sort of idle around her for another 43 minutes not really doing anything of interest then go if that's all right?"

Falcorum posted:The bridge flamethrowers are still the dumbest thing I forget where I read it, but I think it was Trek-adjacent, and it explained that (at the time anyway) you needed to have an actual fire marshal on set if you had an open flame, so I wonder if that restriction doesn’t apply in the great white north, or if they have something similar that makes exploding console pyrotechnics prohibitive. It does kind of take me out of it every time I see it. They could have at least thrown some borax in it to make it green or something. I think the hero of this episode was the random little chunk of ceiling that fell down during the battle - it’s like they just had some intern chuck a 2x4 down from a hole in the roof or something.

All the debris is immediately transported into the toilets, so it can be reconstituted into food, just like their poop

I respect the effort to keep the Breen staffs banging on-rhythm across cuts but now I want somebody to grab Moll by the shoulders so she stops loving wiggling Edit: Might have spotted a Cool S in the map of the labyrinth. Also, why is Michael bothering with that sand if she also has automapping turned on CPColin fucked around with this message at 04:49 on May 17, 2024 |

Once again my brain just completely slid off this episode and I think I've worked out that it's because they keep saying the word clue over and over. It feels like I'm watching a detective show for children, I just immediately switch off when they keep saying "We've got all these clues, time to get another clue to add to our clues! Oh boy, it's clue time!" and so on.

All the tests should have been Indiana Jones-style death traps. Phantom Book admonishing Burnham for not remembering that Jesus starts with an 'I' in the original Klingon.
