So we've seen the scale of book's ship next to the cast members... where do they fit the massive inner dimension full of turbolifts we saw at the end of season 3?

(easily one of the dumbest fuckin things I've ever seen on television in my 41 years)

I haven't been following this thread but I just want to vent somewhere how stupid it was that Burnham and what's his face decided that, when the aliens clearly did not understand the situation with the cat and were getting increasingly angry, they should both in unison say that the cat is a queen. Why did they think the aliens would understand their inside joke about the cat being a queen?

The one thing I feel was excellent about Discovery was their Season 3 recap at the beginning. I had a minor itch to rewatch some of it, and that recap scratched it perfectly.

That recap also doesn’t cover like half of the season

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



There will inevitably be a Star Trek 14 and I'm curious if they're gonna stay in the TOS JJverse, try to reboot TNG, or what.

I don't think any of the new series have the cultural cachet for Hollywood legs though a feature length animated LD would be the comedy option.

Again, the clipping through walls thing is a missed opportunity. A ship made of programmable matter type tech should be able to eject any sized ship from it's docks. Should look more like an egg leaving a cloaca or a bolus from the throat though.

This may or may not be correct.

Not enough (or anything at all really) is being made of all the weird future tech Daniels had with him on ENT, or that ruined TARDIS-like time pod thing. Book's transforming ship and programmable matter are less interesting to me than a shuttle with secret dimensional compartments or Daniels' bracelet that let him walk through walls.

Once again this all could have been solved by not making the show a streaming exclusive just to try and inflate subscriber numbers for your lovely streaming service and just, I dunno, actually shown it on the real tv network that far more people have access to.

Like just imagine a Star Trek show that actually got average CBS viewership numbers in tyool 2021.

It would have been canceled almost immediately if it was on network TV, at least with All Access/ Paramount+ they can lie about the viewer count.

i've seen some of one or two of the TOS movies before randomly on justiv.tv back in the day, but I think Trek sucks as movies as a rule so I tend to avoid and forget them and just have never been able to finish TOS the show, let alone get to the movies.

That's because the future setting exists soley to free them from being a prequel/concurrent with the other series and for little other narrative or conceptual reason.

Except for lines here and there about getting the Federation back together there was no functional difference between this setting and that of any other Star Trek show in the last episode.

I kind of wish they had picked 5 or 10 years after the burn instead of 120 or whatever it is, when the event would be fresh in everyone's mind and Starfleet is in full freefall trying to piece together a working operation out of mothballed ships and the 5% of officers that were on shore leave that day

Discovery had a method to travel anywhere and fuel. The Federation was barely holding on to whatever little territory they had left.
