I love how they combined Crusher's seriousness, Bashir's cleverness, Phlox's curiosity, McCoy stubbornness, and The Doctor's professionalism in one character.

@@rester97 Indeed it was, actually it appears also in ST Picard.

Which shouldn't have been very interesting since centuries earlier they had the technology to travel through literally time and the galaxy using transporters.

Discovery is essentially a completely different show now from Season 1.

How do you know they didn't need to look it up?

I'm sure they did. I've been a space nerd since early childhood and even I only recently heard of Tikhov because I was researching a paper on the history of astrobiology as part of my doctoral work. He's a pretty obscure figure, at least to westerners. The American biochemist Joshua Lederberg is better known for his role as an instigator of NASA's exobiology program in the 1960's.

@@paulpatton5994 I actually like when they use obscure scientists' names in this fashion, it gives me a reason to learn about them. I didn't know who the hell Tikhov was :P.

“Master and Commander: the Far Side of the Galaxy”. I wonder if the Captain and doctor will start playing duets with a cello and violin? They just need an Acheron to chase.

It's not believable or plausible that nothing on discovery was ever documented. Realistically they would have reasonably recorded every measure needed to recreate the spore drive, hence the introduction of such a thing doesn't make it feel like Star Trek because it's so dumb. The entire Voyager arc would have been averted.

​@@thanhavictusIt was wartime tech development that wound up failing as far as official records show. Makes sense to me.

@@thanhavictus They never solved the problem of needing a compatible navigator, and after the whole business with Control, they decided it was the wisest course of action to just deeply classify the tech (under threat of prosecution for treason) so no one wound up looking into it further. It's literally explained in the show. No other Tardigrades were ever found (and also, using a Tardigrade was harmful to the creatures), what Stamets did to become a compatible navigator is highly illegal and he only got away with it because of Discovery being a black ops ship + the special circumstances around their missions, and presumably, Kweijan as a warp-capable civilization doesn't exist yet in the intervening centuries so using one of them as a navigator wouldn't be something anyone would investigate in the ~100 years or so that people are still alive that knew of Discovery and its tech. It IS valid to point out that no other astromycologist ever emerged after Stamets, but it's very plausible that Section 31 stamped out any potentials in that field since, again, the tech was incomplete and nearly useless without a navigator. Like, really, even putting a little bit of thought into it, it makes more than enough sense. There's not even that much need for suspension of disbelief.

The actor is fine, it's the director and writer that gives her awkward roles

She’s great. It’s just hard for some people to deal with a black woman in charge.

@@keirfarnum6811 "It’s just hard for some people to deal with a boring character in charge." FIFY.

​@@keirfarnum6811You're completely right, many people who call themselves Star Trek fans have spewed out such hate towards her. To me you can't be a ST fan if you cannot accept diversity.

Yes. But Starfleet is kinda understaffed at this point

Not like they had other options at the time.

I shudder to think of it.

What drama?

crap TV on steroids. how can you stand it?

Remember "Future Tense?"

@@blairbrown4812 Yes, but that allusion was actually for the Tardis. Because they were both time ships. It was also brought up as being bigger on the inside. There was no surprise by discovery crew about how big the interior was, especially if they haven't encountered space compression before. It's kind of bad writing if they intended something visually significant.

It looked like something from The Orville

Krall would be too obsessed with killing aliens to do much to reunify Humanity. Actually, considering that there were aliens among the UEDF inspection team that boarded Discovery at Earth, he would probably be enraged that United Earth apparently allowed alien residents to remain after the Burn, rather than slaughtering them. He would be even more appalled to see them in UEDF uniforms.

Yeah, but when compared to the insane admirals of the TOS and TNG eras Future!Starfleet seems pretty tame in comparison. At least until Vance starts sleeping with Georgiou. Then it will be back to the good old days....

Yeah, that sh*t is really annoying.

Shhh, let the fresh arts majors find their way. Early TNG was CRINGE compared to what it became.

@@Synthmilk Even then, it was never THAT bad. I mean, individual episodes lacked in equality and were in hindsight really bad, including some well meant but badly executed progressive pandering against racism and other issues of the time, that just didnt work. But at least people were generally giving their best and the show was improving greatly by season 3. Discovery has finished season 3, and if anything it has gotten worse. Season 1 had every excuse to be a little all over the place, Season 2 got better with quality legacy characters, even if it still had most issues, mainly Michael-Mary-Su-Syndrome, and Season 3 is just being back to being utter chaos and disaster in terms of quality and canonical consistency. And there is no sign its getting any better. I mean, Michael Burnhams character development was demonstrating how absolutely arrogant and stubborn she is by assuming everyone around her is too dumb to see the obvious truth about the Klingons to the point of feeling justified to gamble hundreds of lives on it by staging a mutiny, then 5 minutes of regret on a shuttle, and from then onward every situation has been meticulously tailored for Michael to be the hero, by sheer incompetence of anyone around her mostly, and then getting every promotion and medal thrown at her for pretty much no reason other than people above her in the command chain dropping out for any number of convenient reasons, until she became captain. But as a character, she never developed. In fact, in one discussion in Season 2 she perfectly demonstrates she is still the same green arrogant little brat she was during the pilot by interrupting Pike himself mid-sentence to declare that exploring the motive of the Red Angel is a waste of time. Not because its illogical, in fact its very logical to do that, but just because SHE thinks its a waste of time, and all the other dumb brain-damaged morons in the room should finally realize that before she loses her patience and stages the next mutiny. Its only by the grace of the writers that everyone actually entertained that notion rather than giving her a reprimand right then and there. And as long as the writers treat Michael like that, the series will stay horrible. (oh, and please fix other issues as well, especially stop turning the insides of ships into Coruscant)

Don’t forget the lens flares!!!!! 🖖🏼

@@freelancenerd4804 i mean compared to jj abrsms the lens flare isn’t that bad

My man wrote a whole fanfic in a KZfaq comment.

The men onboard might take exception to that.

Or at least, men in proper speaking roles.

Definitely not one single white man.🤔 they were probably outlawed in the future.

@@Jamie-lw5sy - So Stamets is not white?

@@daniels7907 Negative, he is a meat popcicle.

@@sonacphotos Discovery literally is ancient at this point.

IF Future!Starfleet allowed the Discovery computer access and it was able to interface with a system nine centuries newer than itself. Remember that even the Sphere was from the past. So it wouldn't have had information on 32nd century Starfleet computers. Admiral Vance wanted to start in with upgrades to Discovery as one of the first items on the to-do list. This mission was just a higher priority because people were going to die very soon and they couldn't afford to take Discovery out of service.

She has her own maneuver now.

I can see at least 3 male Bridge Officers, not counting Captain Saru.

@@MikMoen Black guy and Asian guy are basically background extras. Saru is an asexual alien thing. Essentially, without Pike, there isn't a Masculine hetro male character on this crew anymore. I'm all for diversity, but this isn't fairly balanced. It's basically a reverse TOS, lol.

@@Knightfall182 There's 4 male Bridge crew and then 2 more male main cast. Them not meeting your standards doesn't mean it's not equal.

@@cactash5761 Lol who? Saru the androgynous alien. Gay Stamets, Gay Culber, and the Asian and Black background extras...lmao. Yeah so balanced. I'm fine with those characters being there but they are incredibly outnumbered by the women. It's overdone.

@@Knightfall182 - That's just balancing out all the earlier series were the gender ratio skewed heavily in the other direction - to the point that it was no surprise that male crew members were routinely falling for any alien females that showed up on sensors. From a very old MAD Magazine parody: *Kirk* - There could be trouble, so put your phasers on "stun". *Spock* - According to my Tricorder reading the inhabitants are beautiful young women. *Kirk* - In that case...put your phasers on "Caress"!

The Janeway animated show that's coming up soon seems to have you covered on that

Those characters have already been used more this season than the last 2 put together.

@@connormachin151 Good, keep it going.

I can actually remember their names now. Discovery feels like it's embracing the ensemble cast concept bit more now than is has.

Uh... yeah? It's not a red alert scenario, they don't have to power up weapon systems, and she calls for the shields to be raised after calling for the yellow alert. Yellow alert literally just means "ship is possibly in danger", it's for the sake of the crew. Red alert is battlestations. And hell, even then, there were numerous times in TNG when they said the words "SHIELDS UP, RED ALERT."

@@ElysaraCh yellow alert was different in the 23rd century earlier star trek movies then it is in tng and later!

As if a replicator can create a living organism. Think about that and the ignorant stupidity of what you just asked.

@@robgyanisu312 Sure answer like a prick... you understand life/DNA is just chemistry right?.. Guessing you've never taken science in your life...

Canonically, replicators work at the molecular level, so cannot create living matter.

Paranoia about computer viruses? Starfleet IT security is infamously bad after all....

They're hiding in open space behind a cloaking field. United Earth quit precisely because being the Federation capital attracted too much trouble and post-Burn Starfleet lacked the resources to defend them. UE could rejoin if they wanted to. But for now they're so isolationist that they didn't even know that 1/3 of the colony on Saturn's moon Titan was wiped out in an industrial accident.

Try to remember that they suffered a collapse of a *much* larger Federation than existed back in the 23rd century. To 32nd century Starfleet, a remnant of its former self, those early days of the Federation are practically mythical.

They have to show them who they are because if they don’t, how are they supposed to be taken seriously?

More of Kurtzman's insipid virtue signaling.

If you watched the episode, they are showing who they are so they can gain trust with 32nd century starfleet officers due to lack of knowledge of discovery actually being alive and the ship destroyed with all hands on deck

@@daniels7907 not just that, all records to do with discovery were erased to to make sure another repeat incidence with control happend again completely wiping control from the face of the map, so trust is hard to come by with starfleet in the 32nd century, for all they knew, they were time agents from the temporal cold War

Well they got home but seems like the new Orion-Andorian Syndicate is up to no good so probably dealing with that and figuring out what caused the burn.

@@jeeshadow1 youd think everyone would want to go home. its like no one misses there friends or family at all LOL

@@randomrazr I mean when they decided to go to the 32nd century it was a volunteer only mission and they knew they wouldn't be going back and now that they are in the 32nd Century, timetravel is illegal.

@@randomrazr that’s actually been dealt with quite a bit. Have you not watched?

@@nel1962 no TV so no :(

Yellow alert just means ship in possible danger, be prepared. Even in TNG, they frequently said "shields up, red alert!" so the alert status does not always definitely mean activate defensive systems.

They probably did when they first created the seed vault centuries before the Burn. Given that there aren't Starfleet ships on regular patrols anymore, those tasked with maintaining the vault were probably allowed to update the authentication each time a different member took over tending to it.

Perhaps rather than carrying literal samples it's a highly advanced memory bank with all the sequences.

Well, it is indeed not star trek that we know but im open to a welcome change of tone.

It is not Star Trek. As a sci-fi show, it is ok, but not as a Star Trek series

The Orville is more Star Trek then STD ever will be

Good call.

Unfortunately when actors can’t fill roles they get written out of the script.

Starfleet HQ, volunteered to stay there with Admiral Vance

She was definitely rather rude. But so were the UEDF people. The post-Burn galaxy is a less friendly place.

@0:22-0:38 There were expressions on the faces of Discovery's command crew that I had never seen before with any of their previous COs,expressions that have convinced me that they are on the right track and that they have finally found their home in Michael Burnham. Smiles of pride and joy.

Red being the bestest ever is the bestest ever. I like red too; but it’s still not as cool as black.

Except @0:14-0:30,when dealing with the good lieutenant and especially when Burnham tells her, "You might want to hold on to something. 🤔 Translation:When I get through with you, you will never, *EVER* insult *my* ship again." 😤 😏

unfortunately yes they are still using the Spore Drive...

Spore drives become more critical then ever now

warp????????????????????????

That's how the SPORE drive works: First, the exterior ring on the disc section starts to spin, then the whole ship spin around its longitudinal axis and teleports to destination.
