Actually, Humans are the only ones in the galaxy who can. Everyone else just reacts to seemingly random stimuli. Also explains their clothing choices...

Can we please keep the emotional character arcs to, like, two per episode? I'm all for long-form character growth, but holy poo poo, everything outside of Booker being next to nonfunctional since his entire planet was blown up the number of simultaneous character beats was overwhelming. Can we have a Tilly/Adira episode where they work on a cool science project and figure out their working relationship, rather than the currently-in-progress crisis destroying the ship suddenly pausing for a minute so that Tilly and Culber can have a heart-to-heart? I'm also starting to get irritated by the whole "Gray gets his body back" arc because so far it's been very intrusive. I'd be happy with it if it were explored in proper B-plots, but it feels like they're just stuffing two-minute chunks of the plot in the middle of each episode wherever it might fit.

... so they understand that it’s not possible to visualize something 5 light years across, right? Like... you can’t see the end of it... unless you were to wait 5 years.

There's probably a few dozen reasons why a 5 light year wide black hole with an accretion disc you can enter and exit makes no sense but it doesn't matter because whatever this phenomena is, it's not a couple black holes. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's stupid.

But its extremely bullshit here. Can't see poo poo at 5 ly, but can at 4.9999999999999 ly Don't even think they mentioned how fast it was moving have they? 5 ly is big but who cares if its moving less than light speed. It needs to be moving loving warp speed 4-5+ to get anywhere quick.

happyhippy posted:But its extremely bullshit here. Edit: One of the more egregious moments this happens is in a Season 1 episode of TNG. They finds a planet that steals some kids and pushes the Enterprise away for a few seconds. Once those seconds are up, a position report is given that they are "3 days away from the planet at warp 9." Then at the end of the episode, Picard and the leader of the planet shake hands in agreement about helping each other with technology. This isn't even the only time they say tech knowledge is exchanged with a race that makes them move faster than light. Just give up caring about it lol.

I’m talking about when they zoom out from the ship. It makes no sense for it to be visually something we can see completely. The size of it would be... you can’t show it. If it’s capable of moving itself at speeds like it has it wasn’t there long enough to be seen in its entirety. Like, to zoom out far enough to see the edges of it you’d be so far away the light wouldn’t have arrived yet if it’s a moving object. It just doesn’t convey the size well at all.

Unsure if it was an breakout or not but during the live Star Trek day thing it was... noticeable. Which is fine and I’m not trying to call them out. Just in this episode at parts it looked like they tried to blur their face some in editing. (I’m saying their and they because I don’t remember their gender identity)

It's really annoying that Crave says Discovery is on Crave on Thursdays, and its just not there, its literally when i log in, and click on the banner and its sends me to episode 1. Get your poo poo together, I know you're a Canadian service so the bar is really low, but at least have the stuff you say you do.

But if that were the case they wouldn't bother to conceal it with cosmetics either. I think this is another case where the available actors in our time simply can not completely embody the future characters. It should have been easy for Scotty to get a new finger, but since James Doohan couldn't have his finger re-grown or replaced with a prosthetic Scotty is missing a finger too. Dermal regenerators should make removing acne scaring a painless 90 second procedure, but since the actors don't have access to that technology the characters don't either.

They both had True Name poo poo going on... I just have a lot of trouble fitting Calypso into the setting. Yeah I feel like the idea behind Calypso basically got updated into what we have now. For Calypso to make any sense at this point it has to take place in the year 4200 or so and it involves the already sentient computer evolving into a... sentient computer over that time. It is weird though, because Calypso only aired about 3 months before the Sphere showed up, so it's not like they didn't already know the computer was going to gain sentience in a completely unrelated way, right?? I'm guessing someone pointed this out at some point and that's why the computer is now called Zora in the 2nd Burnham era, and we'll never revisit that other 1000 year gap or Craft ever again.

The fact that they still insist on Michael being the captain over Saru still just fundamentally sucks poo poo.
