Still calling my original theory that Starfleet is secretly making hybrid databorgs as an army or to man ships.

They shat on Kirk and Spock canon to shoehorn in Burnham, they can definitely shoehorn Daniels and time travel out and replace it so Burnham (and Disco) being the only ones who ever did it.

The Bloop posted:The plus side is they can end the series with a giant gently caress YOU button to undo the entire thing They don't have to. The problem with Discovery after 1+2 is that there is nothing BIGGER for them to do in the time frame before Kirk ends up as being one of the best in Starfleet. "Oh, you punched a Klingon over a table and stopped a single space base from being destroyed? Pike/Burnham/Discovery saved the universe TWICE within the last few years. Wait, you lost HOW MANY RED SHIRTS TODAY?" TNG had to jump a generation (geddit?) to continue. DS9 had to jump to the rear end end of the Federation to continue. Voy had to jump to the rear end end of the galaxy. And seeing the lore and 'future' history of the Federation is vaguely known, jumping past it allows them new poo poo to do and allows Pike/Burnham to save the universe over and over again. I fully expect a slew of books/comics of the Federation v2.0 soon.

Why should Discovery era tech be old in 32rd Century. You are talking about space faring stuff, so every species that develops it will have its own version of whatever makes up their tech, isolinear chips, gel packs, pakled go faster stripes, whatever. Pre-warp civilizations will be still finding their way into space all the time, so some will be still using that tech even in the future as that is all they have. Can't see those with programmable matter just going, here take this near magic tech for your every needs including weapons, especially when we can't even have palm print identifaction on our guns with a thousand years ahead tech. They should be seeing old tech being used all over the place. So are pre-warp civilizations now hosed to be space faring? loving scary that its now not possible to get off the ground or past your solar system. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Oct 25, 2020 |

Epicurius posted:Westerns? I can see how TOS or TNG has them, there was very few scifi 60s shows that didn't have themed poo poo like westerns, or nazis, or french aristocrats , or US civil war. It's a great way to do a cheap episode, just borrow what was in their costume department, save the money for something bigger and better in another. And holodeck is the holodeck. But like Firefly, designing future space cowboys or whatever is just off putting imo. They are cosplayers.

Hey, cant stop and help you guys and upgrade our ship with near 1000 year future tech, gotta go! And I'm crying because my family is no longer alive. Time to go to a tree and pose with the rest of the bridge crew instead of find out where my descendants are, what happened to our homes, learn future tech, history, or anything important to survive. Must have been funny for the owners of the old Starfleet HQ. Being asked to allow several people to access your land and watch them just go and hug a tree.

Pretty weird to see that the pools of water that are essential to the survival of your race are in a cave that anyone can walk into. And open to the world. Some janitor has to come along every now and again and net the Trillbat poo poo from the surface. He sometimes finds a symbiant trapped in a plastic six pack of beer ring holder that he needs to cut out.

One of the unnameables had some background explained just before she died. Another had some background info explained just before it was useful for the plot 10 seconds later, and that was that she could hold her breath longer than anyone else. The lizard guy who you see three times in the whole series has more know about him than half these characters.

In old trek each character would have had at least one or more of their own self episode to flesh out who they are to us. The two not-Stamets may have had three or four lines of actual character development the whole three series, but hosed if I can remember it. Edit: gently caress an Owo episode of her going to her Luddite family roots, that would be loving amazing to see.

"Hello there, I am Captain Burnham. We are here on behalf of the Federation. Here is some free Dilthium, maybe you will consider joining us again" "Woah, thanks, but isn't this still dangerous to use? We don't want to risk using it and explode again." "No need to worry! We found out the source of the Burn, and have stopped it from happening again." "What caused it?" "Can't tell you." "Why not, we need to know what killed millions of our own people. And I thought the Federation shared knowledge freely." "It was caused by a child when he gets angry sad." "WTF? So he's dead now then?" "No, he is.." "Imprisoned somewhere secure? At least sedated permanently?" "Not exactly." "And how did you get to our planet so quickly here, past our sensors, faster than current warp travel?" "We have another way to travel." "Faster than warp travel?" "Yes." "Does it use Dilithium?" "No." "Can you give it to us, this other tech." "Can't. Not yet." "Ok, so let me get this straight. You want us to join the Federation again, basically do what you tell us to do always, so we can fly about in ships slower than you, using a material that will explode when a guy you control stubs his toe?"

And its set after the Time Travel period. "Now that we know where the Burn happened, and when it happened down to the millisecond, how about we use Time Travel to prevent it." "No we agreed not to." Elsewhere:  Daniels: "And here is where the Federation ends, trillions dies, the galaxy is mostly in ruins, because we all agreed not to fix it." Archer: "So why should I bother fixing poo poo in my time now?" Daniels: "Don't worry, a human born a 100 years after you will inadvertently cause the thing that destroys the Federation, but will also fix it back again. Slowly. Very slowly. Trillions upon trillions still dead and living in poverty. Archer: "Are you high?" happyhippy fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Mar 15, 2021 |

Adira should have the number 2 or Neelix type position on the bridge. Only one from that time period, and has a loving Admiral in her head. But her sum total helping the ship was to replace something that was working already to something that worked just a little bit easier for Stamets.

Just starting on episode one and running through sequentially for the whole show. It would always catch me by surprise when they'd air the first episode of Stargate uncensored at like 4PM. Used to piss me off though that they would repeat the same episodes that was on during the week at the weekend.

Der Kyhe posted:That small annoying "kid genius" that they pick up from Earth in E3. She's not a genius, shes an average for her time. She just has 900 years of tech knowledge but they don't imply that in the show. She looks likes a genius as she knows future tech better than the rest, so can suggest better solutions or do them quicker. It would be like some from Betchley Park coming into our time, took up code breaking now, and are amazed when we suggest to use a computer, download an app, and use that to attack decipher it instead of slide rulers, pencils and paper. She was a front line first response security guard against local space pirates. They only really took her as she has a Starfleet Admiral inside her spleen to show Starfleet they were legit. It would be good if they had small parts show to show they are behind in tech knowledge. Like Stamets/Tilly suggest something, they all suck teeth like a car mechanic saying its a big job yadda yadda, and Adria just goes 'done'.

twistedmentat posted:The answer to "Why isn't everything a holodeck" doesn't work because if the power goes offline, oops, there everything goes. Holodecks as needed is a good idea but having even the tables and chairs be holograms, that might have issues. That's why I found the programmable matter floors at Starfleet Central a bit too much. Like dude is a loving Admiral, yet his office only exists when he is in it, if that is his office. Does someone else use that same space as a toilet. And when Discovery first lands, one of them says there is a holographic type ship.

Sure they may get abducted and butt diddled every few weeks, but how often more does an engineer crawl around the shielded jeffries tubes to fix something. A constant watch on command staff maybe would be better.
