Lal is a great example of when British people decide to just pronounce a word weirdly. Everyone else in the show says her name correctly, except Picard who keeps saying 'laaaal"

At least he doesn't say Data's name like "Data" instead of "Data" like everyone else!! I'm lookin at you Dr. Pulaski!!

I can tell you that the Starfleet Academy show is definitely a thing. The rest is most likely made up.

Guinan's coming back because Patrick Stewart invited Whoopi Goldberg to appear in season 2 live on her show and she said yes.

Are we prepared to unpack "person of color" in this thread as a chauvinist American neologism so incredibly reductive as to lump together the 7.1 billion people on Earth who aren't of European ancestry lmao?

Of course, the correct answer is that Chairman Oh is a Vulcan and therefore isn't really East Asian at all.

And Dahj and Soji are are synths so aren't half Filipino

Know what I just remembered? Jurati acts like Maddox making cookies from scratch is the weirdest, most unknown thing. Sisko's father was a famous chef - did anybody ever get weirded out by someone devoting their lives to manual cooking on DS9?

OTOH, I definitely remember Keiko getting weirded out by Miles doing some home cooking, so.

Probably different when they make it their job, as it fills a niche. When it's someone in Starfleet doing it every so often it's more of a "oh that's weird... why?" kind of thing.

In "Assignment: Earth" they literally traveled back in time to 1968 (air date) to observe things that I guess weren't recorded historically. There were other episodes where the Enterprise was actually forced back into the past "Tomorrow is Yesterday" or they used the Guardian of Forever to travel back as well in "City on the Edge of Forever".

If you already have three gang tags, tell me which one you'd like to lose. If you don't want to lose any proceed w/ your own caution. The limit of gang tags is nebulous and you may get them axed by another mod or admin if they find your av/tag/text combo too excessive.

If you want your current tags rearranged or your text changed, I can do that as well.

I apologize ahead of time for the spam this might cause. It's just easier for me to organize and make sure I don't miss anybody! Feel free to quote me in your regular-rear end discussion posts if you were already going to say smth so we can keep this at least kind of neat.

I have to wonder what this all means for Calypso. The ship was sitting there for 1000 years and the Federation had become the V'draysh. In 3188 it's still called the Federation so does that mean Calpso might not have occurred for another 1000 years, in the 42nd century?

If they find someone who can tell her not to, that's a resounding success for the guy who now gets a real commission from actual 32nd century Starfleet. If they don't find someone who can tell her not to, then there's no problem with her having done it.

Unspoiling this isn't it isn't one, but why do you think Section 31 wouldn't be in the 32nd century? It's such a strangely common view.

The ongoing thing with Georgiou that they emphasized in season 2 is that no matter how much she pretends otherwise she genuinely cares about Burnham and sees her as daughter figure. So what seems more likely, her founding or working with a future Section 31 to protect the New Federation from the shadows in ways her naive daughter won't, which means she can show up in more of Discovery any time they feel like it or... traveling to the past to... work for Ash Tyler in 2258, separated from the only major plotline she's had to date with no ability to revisit it?

Even before the reveal that time travel is no longer possible her going back would be the thing that doesn't make sense

My thinking was that it would be extremely weird if someone from 1000 years ago showed up and inserted themselves/took over a shadow government. She doesn't know the time, modern tech, modern factions, so unless everyone at 32nd century Section 31 are tactical morons they don't really need her.

Imagine William the Conqueror shows up today, MI5 isn't going to jump at giving him a job.

However, this is Star Trek so maybe none of that matters.

From the way that they talked about self sufficient and split off, I wouldn't be surprised if most of Sol's colonies just moved back to Earth in the immediate time after the Burn, where you don't suffocate if something goes wrong, and Titan was the only one that said 'nah gently caress you'. Mars would've been the best other candidate to keep going, but assuming it was a shipyard again the planet could easily have been decimated to the point of abandonment.

No one travels at warp in a shipyard so it'll have been largely unaffected, other than being rendered less useful as there isn't a demand for interstellar ships anymore.
