By Kirk's time they figured out the problem: just have all the female crew wear miniskirts and everyone is much happier!

Some women didn't like it and a bunch quit, including nearly every female senior officer, but other than that everyone was really happy.

Is it just me, or was Michael debugging a Windows Powershell script?

Why are these other convicts blaming Michael for the all the dead people from the Klingon conflict? Did star fleet put out some news saying it was all her fault or something? If so, that's pretty bastardly.

Star Trek Discovery is the second best version of The Expanse television series. They are really similar. They both even have those stupid shaved temples combover hairstyles. This episode was better, but I think it says something that right after finishing it I went to Netflix and watched the TNG episode Family. It's like I needed to remind myself how Star Trek used to handle post conflict trauma.

The thing is, The Expanse goes to great pains to make it's world look plausible according to our current understanding of physics and that's why a lot of it looks the way it does where as this show just kind of looks the way it does because yeah I yeah dunno

Mondian posted:It was super jarring seeing how poorly that starfleet security officer treated the prisoners. There are hundreds of hours of recorded Star Trek productions including scenes where they hold absolute power over their worst enemies and we never see them acting like that. Yeah it feels way too edgy. Calling them garbage/trash, saying they have to feed the animals.

Psychological trauma can be solved by punching family members before crying on their shoulder and getting drunk off aged wine.

Looks good and is functional, they give you a concise overview of the history of expansion and the three factions of the show. STD just throws out some stylized schematics of a hand phaser or random technology. I don't even think they actually show space in it.

If so, that's pretty bastardly. It was expected but it's presented in a pretty dumb way imo. The captain also says someting along the lines of "you started this war, help me end it". And Michael accepts all the blame, it would be better if she tried to defend herself. All she did was target the Klingon ship, I guess that counts somehow? Or because she ended up killing the prophet? The captain even let her go on an away mission after she had been locked up for mutiny, but noone seems to care about that.

Why did they blow up that ship at the end. I thought the ship was fine it was just the crew that got Cronenberged. Like, they just got into a big space war, not the best time to be scuttling your own ships

Yeah I have a bit of an issue with everyone blaming her for the war. She did do some good old mutiny but that in itself didn't result in a war did it? The whole thing was a setup by the klingons, something the federation acknowledged as well

She killed the Torchbearer. Not that it matters, but she did draw first blood. What people should be mad about was her squandering her captain's sacrifice. The whole point of that mission was to capture that zealot and she just murdered him for petty revenge instead of actually completing the mission.

I haven't seen Discovery yet, but I can tell you for free that that if the crew is Cronenberged then the correct solution is to glass the ship. Because anything else just spreads the drat disease, no matter how careful you are and why take the loving risk? Nuke It From Orbit.

Just the mutiny is enough to turn Starfleet against her. Being a mutineer at the site of a battle and diplomatic catastrophe is enough for everyone else in the federation to scapegoat her as the reason everything went wrong. Sure, the klingons probably destroyed the nearby space station. At any time in the previous 50 years the klingons could simply have mentioned that they had an important cultural relic there and the Federation probably would have given them the system. The klingons at the relic could have communicated with the ship when they arrived, but didn't because those klingons were actively hoping to incite a war to reunite their fractured empire. High ranking members of the federation who looked into it and read the reports have probably figured out that Michael didn't cause the war. So what? She is guilty of mutiny and reckless behavior. Why would they bother doing a big public information campaign to explain that while she is a reckless criminal she probably isn't responsible for the war and the 8k dead? Mistakes were made and people are dead. Michael is the highest ranking surviving officer from the ship that screwed the pooch. An orphan who is going to spend the rest of her life in prison for mutiny is a good scapegoat for public anger. Michael doesn't bother trying to defend herself or explain what happened to random people because she's still grieving and probably does feel responsible for what happened, because she failed to find a way to stop it. And since she's a convicted felon the federation isn't going to force her into counseling to deal with her survivor guilt.

The whole mould thing reeks of writers going "we need this ship to go anywhere instantly but can't piss off nerds who care about warp speed" so they came up with the dumbest possible reason why this ship and this ship only can do the thing

I wonder how they'll eventually bury the magic spores? Does it work but Section 31 buries it because it is an uncontrollable threat? Does it turn out that occasionally spiralizing the crew is an inevitable side effect? Does it let monsters from another dimension teleport in?
