Absolutely love T'rina in this season, i think the actress nails it she really comes across as not just a competent leader of her planet, and diplomat, but she really comes across as a familiar vulcan but with an edge she would have from growing up in a romulan unified vulcan. She reallly reflects the subtle changes to their society, so good

@Aezetyr Ай бұрын

T'Rina's needs of the many speech also gave me 'In the Pale Moonlight' vibes. Yes, there will not be war today, and all it cost were the lives of two criminals and the self-respect of Starfleet officers. I call that a bargain.

@christianmino3753 Ай бұрын

A more linguistically correct interpretation of that would be more like "Today, we may have prevented a war with the Breen, along with the loss of life on an unimaginable scale and all it cost us was the life of one criminal, the livelihood of another, and the self-respect of all (Starfleet) officers present. I'd call that a bargain." or even a little less DS9 ish with "Today, we may have prevented a war with the Breen, along with the loss of life on an unimaginable scale. Something of which we had traded for life on a very comprehend-able scale. The life of one criminal, and the condemnation of another to a dark corner of Breen space, where at their mercy, she will willingly divulge everything she knows on the Projenator's tech. Today, is a dark day for us all".

As far as the right or wrong of turning Moll over to the Breen, after President T’Rina says, “Unfortunately, it seems there is little to be lost by allowing this, and much to be lost by keeping her”. It reminds me of Spock saying “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one” after sacrificing himself to save the crew of the Enterprise in The Wrath of Kahn.

There was part of the negotiation scene that I hoped Rayner would get an Up for - At 17:15 in this video, Burnham is about to be called to sickbay. As soon as she beams out, Rayner immediately steps forward to represent his captain in the meeting. Given the rocky start that he had being demoted and reassigned as an XO, I found this gesture particularly poignant. This guy's growin' on me! 🖖😋

Sean, you made 2 mistakes in Cetacean Observations. 1) While Martok (I believe it was the changeling, since the real Martok didn't recognize Word in the prison camp) did refer to thoron fields and duranium shadows, the procedure was first used in the DS9 pilot "Emissary" by Kira and O'Brien to trick the Cardassians into thinking twice about attacking the then-unarmed station. 🙂 2) Tau Ceti is not the Traveler's homeworld. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "Remember Me" both listed his home as Tau Alpha C, not Tau Ceti. This may seem like a difference that makes no difference, but unfortunately, it's an issue of sloppy writing in "Journey's End". This may seem a bit obsessive, but I'm autistic, and precision with continuity is a big deal with me. 🙂

@markzutkoff1800 Ай бұрын

I yelled that at the screen when first watching the ups-and-downs. However, TNG was inconsistent about the Traveler's home system. In "Where No One Has Gone Before", Riker says, "You're from Tau Alpha C." (Note that the TRAVELER doesn't say where he's from.) In "Remember Me", Dr. Crusher tries to set a course for Tau Alpha C. (Or so says Memory Alpha, but my recollection is that she actually said Tau Ceti. I'd have to watch it again to be sure.) And in "Journey's End", he's said to be from Tau Ceti. (Not sure who says it.) So it's a contradiction. Someone needs to check with the Traveler. (Get it? Travelers Checks? Sorry, dad joke.)

In the production background for TNG it was suggested that the Enterprise had a section on one deck called "Cetacean Ops" that analyzed navigation data. It crewed by tanks containing species of oceanic Earth creatures - cetaceans like dolphins and whales. The producers assumed that in the future we would have realized that they were sapient. This was never seen onscreen, but apparently there was a little background chatter referring to it, and the TNG Technical Manual showed an outline of a whale in that section (but that was more likely a joke, since there are other gags like gigantic mice hidden in other sections of the schematic.)

One thing that I love about Disco is that from the start I really feel like more than any other Trek series, Disco gives us a fuller view of Starfleet and the Federation. Hear me out.... Enterprise, Star Trek, TNG and espeically Voyager are all about a single ship being out in space exploring. On rare awesome occasions the ship and it's crew would interact with Starfleet and even rarer with The Federation. In Disco Season One we had Admiral Cornwell in a ton of scenes and episodes. Then in season two we got Pike, the Enterprise, Spock, and section 33. Then jumping to the future with a moble Federation, Disco is constantly "jumping" to HQ and interacting with Fed President, Ambassadors, and Starfleet Command, and I love it. Disco is really built for those who love that part of this world.

I think the Federation ships swayed when the Breen left cause the Breen ship is so large, it has its own gravity. The warp bubble must be huge! Great review.
