Jerusalem posted:Yep! I remember earlier in the season seeing the Ferengi bartender and thinking it was a bit too fan-servicey (I guess Quark's REALLY had staying power as a franchise!) but then I noticed Morn and gently caress it, I'm good with the idea that he's just eternally always at the bar. Any bar. EVERY bar. There is more than one way to Ascend. When Ascended Badgy found he could be everywhere at once he lost his homicidal urges. When Ascended Morn found he could be everywhere at once, he chose to manifest in every bar everywhere, forever. There's probably a Q somewhere mad they didn't think of it first.

Facebook Aunt posted:Shimerman is getting a little old for fight scenes. So is Dorn, for that matter. Best to have skilled stuntmen work with him so he doesn't hurt himself. Shatner though, Shatner still got it! Just you watch, he could re-do the gorn fight any day of the week!!!

Cojawfee posted:I really hope the Breen aren't even looking for them. They are both idiots, as John Wick of Dogs pointed out. When the guy was all "I'm putting an erigah on you", it would be hilarious if that was just a way for him to make Moll and Lak go away forever. There is no blood bounty or whatever. They are just running around the galaxy all "Oh no, the Breen are going to find us, we have to keep hiding!" Meanwhile the guy's uncle is living it up now that his dipshit nephew isn't loving up the docks anymore.

Because L’ak is still Breen royalty and presumably they’d be bringing the Progenitor weapon back to his uncle. The assumption would be that since they’re family, all would be forgiven given the power of the device could tip the Breen infighting in their favor.

I mean that doesn't stop them from just killing them both, the Breen are pretty ruthless generally

FlamingLiberal posted:Moll and L'ak's plan is extraordinarily stupid. They are going to bring the Breen the ancient tech, and then why wouldn't the Breen just kill them immediately? They have no reason to not gently caress them over. Pretty sure Michael makes the same point in the episode.

The galaxy’s a big place, just go hide on some middle of nowhere planet and raise space sheep or something. You’ve got a ship, you can go anywhere! I hope this ep killed Book’s drive to help her. Like, she gave you nothing and hated her father. You’ve got no in.

Why didn't Michael just tell them "hey that cute time spider thing showed me the timeline where you win and it's loving trashed by the Breen"?

I don’t believe they have said either way if the Dominion is still a thing in this time, but I would not want to be going to live in the Gamma Quadrant to find out

Me: Ok so let me get this straight, there's an erigah on you Lok: Yes Me: Because of your forbidden love with a human, and for showing your face Lok: Yes Me: Also you killed two guys and shot your uncle who is high royalty Lok: Correct Me: And your plan is, you found out about an ancient technology that might let you do anything Lok: Yes Me: And you are following clues left by ancient scientists step by step Lok: Yes Me: And then when you get this you are going to give it to your uncle Lok: Yes Me: Because he said he would lift the erigah? Lok: No Me: He didn't? Lol: No Me: But you know he is looking for it? Lok: No Me: Has he even ever heard of it? Lok: No Me: But now you're on the run from the Breen and Starfleet Lok: Yes Me: And Starfleet says the Breen will destroy the galaxy if they get that technology Lok: Yes Me: And you've been on the run for years trying to get it Lok: Yes Me: Have you seen any other Breen or been pursued by any in that time? Lok: No Me: Ok. I have a few more questions Moll: Look, man, you don't understand what it's like! You weren't around for THE BURN. Things are different!

Why wouldn’t they just use the ancient tech to make their own paradise planet, with blackjack and hookers

I'm pretty sure, outside of Moll actually saying,"Progenitors" in an earlier episode when she shouldn't have any idea about them, that they actually have no idea what the tech is or what it does, just that it is very powerful and valuable and gigantic organizations like Starfleet are willing to pour a ton of resources into getting it. In the latest episode, Burnham straight up asks L'ak if he knows what they're chasing and he says all he knows is that it is valuable. So their plan is to find it, then go to the Breen and say,"Here's a thing that we don't know what it is, forgive our unforgivable crimes now thanks."

Sometimes a species threatens to destroy the galaxy and everything in it and you just gotta do what they say. Worked for the mass effect aliens, why not Breen?

The finale should just be the Breen activating the technology and then every ship and starbase in the Milky Way explodes. And everybody’s skeletons explode. Violently. Smash cut to a spooky child’s choir singing the Star Trek theme in a minor key as the galaxy is sanitized, ala firing the Halo Array. Ultra grimdark ending. Also slaps an expiration date on all future Star Trek shows. “Cannot make any Star Trek shows that take place in the prime universe which happen after the 32nd century.”

"well certainly glad that was all a holodeck simulation, all that seems awful!", "yes, now lets forget that all happened and tell Picard not to do all that awfulstuff in the future that we also just saw on the holodeck." "yeah, I think we can make a better future than that".

He wakes up from it, shrugs it off, and then goes to check some old isolinear chips as part of his daily chores.
