CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Discovery had a method to travel anywhere and fuel. The Federation was barely holding on to whatever little territory they had left. Her discovering the black boxes had nothing to do with Discovery, they found most of them before Discovery even made it back to the future and the last one Book found with his ship on his own.

Ehhhhh, kinda. Book found one, but iirc it was waaaay out the gently caress the other side of the galaxy and Discovery Spore Driving its way around was kinda necessary to get that one back to Starfleet and provide triangulation.

Which begs the question of which crewmember is secretly the Doctor hiding out in starfleet? The obvious answer is Stamets, but I'm not sure. Tilly the 30 year old cadet is pretty sus.

Picard Season 3: Probably a weapons locker over transporter maintenance in the transporter room. You can see the same layout of of chips around the tall central panel. TNG:   Picard S3:  TNG/TNG movies     Some other stuff...      Not bad but they're gotten a lot more interesting in dramatic diagonal angles in their design. And screens having bezels and being inset in stuff. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Nov 25, 2021 |

Typical Pubbie posted:Burnham figured out how to find the source of the burn by checking the black box on a random destroyed ship, something Starfleet did not think to do in the 120 years since the disaster. They probably did investigate right after the Burn, but the black boxes of ships they could access were probably very close by such that the 'time code' read the exact same time. Once the 'instantaneous galactic event' theory became common knowledge, there wasn't really an avenue to investigate... and what's left of the Federation had to focus on triaging disasters due to supply chain issues. Not unreasonable for someone outside of conventional 'wisdom' to come and re-examine what really happened.

I think a lot of the problems with the weird plot problems in S3 are entirely due to the century and a half of time between the Burn and the present day. If it was, like, a decade or two? 100% plausible that nobody had the time to investigate the cause of the Burn while they were recovering from something that would be as disastrous to them as electricity no longer working would be to us. Who would have the resources to research new FTL technologies when all the high-energy labs in the universe simultaneously blew up, taking out the brightest minds in their field with them? How could relations with former allies be maintained when everyone is still recovering from the greatest natural disaster the galaxy has ever seen? I feel like Discovery’s writers had a really cool idea for a space apocalypse that they thought through fairly far, but then someone yelled “PEOPLE SHOULD THINK OF THE FEDERATION AND ITS IDEALS AS A DISTANT MEMORY” and everyone sighed and added a hundred years to the timeline.

It makes sense that the Kelpians refer to Saru as an honoured elder. I wonder what the Ba'ul think of him? Apparently everything worked out fine in the end, but the Ba'ul of history thought of kelpians as genocidal monsters and also cattle.

Terry Matalas made one of the greatest TV shows dealing with time travel i’ve ever seen (Syfy’s 12 Monkeys), so i’m confident that Picard season 2 is gonna be significantly better than the first in many ways.

Cross-Section posted:Dunno who in here might care about this, but: Lemme see what startrek.com says. quote:Where Paramount+ is available in Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Sweden, Uruguay, and Venezuela, the first two episodes will be available Friday, November 26, with new episodes being released weekly. We are also offering Star Trek fans in these markets a new membership promotion on Paramount+ for 50% off for the first three months with code STARTREK.* Okay, that's far from all countries and even far from all European countries. Perhaps "additional select countries" includes the rest of Europe but I doubt it. What do they mean with "participating digital platforms"? Are they gonna put it back on Netflix for those countries? For now I shall continue to assume I am hosed.

S3 is if someone from William the Conquerer's army met President Obama and went "what the gently caress is up with your values?" e: I actually think the century and a half from the Burn to 'present' was a good idea with lots of promise; in the Star Trek Universe that's long enough for it to be ancestral memory for many races including Humanity, but still bitter personal memory for a few Vulcans and Romulans and other long lived species around. There's a lot you can play with there, they just decided not to do anything with it. Alchenar fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Nov 25, 2021 |

With this new episode of Discovery I'm sorry to say that, no, Modern Trek is not good again. 90% of it was a loving therapy session. If I wanted to watch a therapy session, I wouldn't be watching a science fiction series. Christ almighty what an rear end of an episode. I could rant about how much of it is so utterly stupid, boring, un-entertaining, and yawn-inducing but I don't think it's even close to worth the effort. So instead I'll complain about this:  Saru opens the door to the Captain's quarters where she's busy holodecking. He takes 7 swagger steps. Michael doesn't move an inch, the camera does an orbit around them and pulls back, and the holo turns off.  Where the gently caress was that door? Where the gently caress is the wall that the door was connected to? If we used that doorway as a reference point, the camera isn't just in the hallway now, it's in the next room over. That said, the gravity loss thing was funny when the computer said "now" and they all fell. Also the graphic at the end of the episode was very pretty and I enjoyed it. ...but seriously, gently caress this show. How are we 4 seasons in and every loving crew member is still processing some form of depression.  Star Trek, everybody! One last bite: Saru consistently being the magical advice alien is disturbing levels of poor writing. Edit: OH WAIT IT GOT DUMBER SORRY HOLD ON  The holodeck program teleported them to the window after turning off. For no discernably good reason whatsoever. (It was actually because the scene was filmed on two separate sets.) DaveKap fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Nov 25, 2021 |

The discovery crew should really just like go another 200 years into the future when the galaxy is all happy and good again, find a nice tropical beach planet and like just chill for a while. And when ever Burnham even thinks about trying to save the universe again while they're there just lock her in her room with poo poo load of weed and reggae on repeat until she mellows.

How an antigrav generator, that can diagnose a loss of function and predict when it comes back, has no failure mode to deal with it and dial it back in gradually, instead dropping people to the ground, that's certainly interesting future stuff.G-III posted: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? --edit: And they sure don't get scale right.
