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

I liked what little we saw of Hugh - I hope he gets more (or any) interactions with the main cast.

I think killing Icheb made me love this stupid show, it isn't at all the Star Trek I like but man what a gently caress you to the character and the original actor who they recast. Maybe they'll throw Wesley Crusher out of an airlock next week?

it doesnt even make sense given what we know already of the Borg too, for example in Voyager we learn that Vulcans have the Borg designation of Species 3259 and Romulans as Species 3783, if the latter ones would have been their creators their designation number should be a sub-10 one (as we can likely assume that members from their species would be among the first to be classified and assimilated)

It's going to be time travel bullshit that will somehow involve the events of First Contact, some lovely retcon and it will be tied to season 3 of Discovery in some awful way.

The original actor has been a total shitheel recently, including telling Anthony Rapp to 'stop whining' after he reported abuse by Kevin Spacey. Recasting him and then killing his character in the most brutal way was what he deserved.

This makes his death even better.

Okay I had to go and find the actor who played Icheb and holy poo poo this Twitter thread.

Who knew people cared about this shitheel?

I think Fuller gets way too much blame for Discovery. The line that always sticks out to me as just dumb from the series is the episode where they come back from the mirror universe and they are like "oh no the entire federation has been destroyed" and the next episode its like lost 25% of its territory, the obvious bullshit for drama and immediate rollback just felt cheap. Like nothing in Discovery can just be minor it all has to be galaxy ending or the best thing ever, like that device they threw together in 5 minutes that harnessed what was it every black hole in the galaxy?

The entire Klingon war was just awful and it's the premise the entire series hinges on.

Unless I have contracted malaria and have gone deaf, I don't know why people are talking about a genocidal ancient being showing up to destroy everything. She already has shown up: it's Soji. They've said it multiple times

It's going to be Lore isn't it? You don't bring back Spiner just for a 2 minute scene in the first episode.

I was listening to the Greatest Gen guys on their podcast about the new Disco episode, and one of them was apparently confused as to why Michael reacted when her suit computer indicated lifeform readings. Even though the episode has a recap of Season 2 at the beginning which specifically reminds about the whole plot of Control and the reason why they had to go to the future. Then he doubles down with 'well I don't think they should have shown those CGI creatures before that to ruin the moment' even though we had just seen that dogfight between the two ships near the planet that Michael crashed into. I was just incredulous at this entire exchange.

I am so glad I dropped this podcast.

Adira has really only shown engineering aptitude and basic knowledge of the present time. She’ll probably end up working with Tilly and Stamets the most and maybe as a guide for navigating current political and social stuff. I highly doubt she’ll end up as the new Wesley.

So she's Neelix.

It would be cool if Kirk never shows up again in SNW, not sure if they have that kinda restraint but I trust the writers given what we've seen so far.

Ultimate editing challenge. Find enough footage across all 3 seasons to cobble together one good episode. Not good for Picard, but like, a good episode people could pretend is part of Star Trek without retroactively making you hate Picard and other legacy characters.

the whole chapel and spock holding hands in space felt like a deleted scene from discovery, very bad big stakes and yet no stakes writing
