Looks like the people who guessed the warp core would be separated from the ship appear to be right. They specifically said the nacelles aren't physically attached.

This ship won't blow up ever because its warp core oscillates at 432 spaceHertz.

That's the kind of thing which is absurd when they first said it, but then after thinking for a few seconds makes perfect sense with a few more centuries of development of Starfleet tech. Structural Integrity Fields and Inertial Dampeners already make the ships able to hold together in manoeuvres that the physical materials alone wouldn't be able to handle, so at some point why even bother with a token connection if the tech is reliable enough.

He knows they are dead but is grieving and is in denial still thinking he might be able to do something himself to help them. If they transported them onto Discovery and took them back it would be admitting that it was time to move on.

They also bring up the point in the episode that it’s unethical for a Starfleet ship to just disregard a culture’s grieving process and forcibly transport them all aboard.

Fair enough, Mr Freeze syndrome but with plants in the plant ark.

My favourite little moment of this episode was Saru chiding Burnham's first instinct still being "let's ignore chain of command and protocol!"

Big Mean Jerk posted:

I’m going to be furious if we get a loving Voyager-J but still no future Defiants.

I mean I get it, every idiot and their brother loves the former and the latter has constantly been treated like the forgotten stepchild of the franchise, but come on.

With how important the Defiant is to the mirror universe and Terrans, I think there's a chance this season to see that, if not, old defiant maybe?

Yeah, the Voyager-J had a very Hero Ship look and feel to it. It's already got people speculating that we're either going to see it in action alongside Discovery before the end of the season, or that whatever leads to the abandonment of Discovery in Calypso happens this year and the Voy-J is going to become the new Discovery for the rest of the show.

it is getting weird, like a "poo poo we need to have an excuse for michael to be the one doing this" scene every episode

i mean, it's better than not having an excuse, but maybe let some of the other characters have some fun for a bit

edit: now that she's first officer maybe it'll feel less forced moving forward

I liked this episode and forgot I was watching Discovery right up to the tear filled "Michael you're the most important person ever" scene, which I could have done without. Overall I feel like Season 3 is better than 1 or 2, and I hope the show continues to improve.

I thought they handled Michael pretty well otherwise this episode. It was really refreshing seeing her just be a competent officer and mission commander for once.

Yeah. If Culber had just done it instead of again being Michael Go Do My Job guy then I think the cast balance in this episode would have been good.

I would unironically be down for Janeway being The Chief from the Netflix Carmen Sandiego show for Prodigy.

I'm binging Discovery, so after Pike showed up I went back and watched The Menagerie for the first time in many years. It's a classic of course, but it's hilarious that most of the episode is the Star Trek characters watching a Star Trek episode. Also that the Keeper decided to present this transmission to them with dramatic cuts and a full score.

Cronenberg heard that seasons 1 and 2 had body horror and was like "Yo, you guys are doing body horror? Lemme get in on that." and now there's no body horror at all.
