[+] Star Trek Discovery (Fan) Thread

Well, I think that to start with the Admiral said he intended to find new places for the crew, and was going to do a bit of a refit on the Discovery. Now, he's keeping the crew, but I'd presume he'd still do the refit.

The next episode is the Disco crew just sitting around Federation HQ waiting for their ship to be retrofitted . . . .

He was going to requisition the Discovery. I think the plan for it would probably have been more along the lines of "strip it down to the bulkheads, pull out every scrap of data from its computers, and reverse-engineer the spore drive for general production."

While the crew may have convinced him of the usefulness of keeping their one spore-drive-capable vessel in operation, I'd guess they'll still make it a priority to reproduce the technology based upon analysis of Discovery.

Given some of the advanced technology we've seen, a refit of the ship might not even take very long. They can build ships out of holograms and repurpose entire sections of their station as needed. Fabricating and installing replacement components even on the scale of a starship might be the work of hours rather than weeks.

One problem. How would Phillipa know how to deal with holograms? I know that Alternate Universe is a bit more ahead than regular universe, but, sentient holograms wouldn't appear in Star Trek for more than a century after their jump. Seems a bit strange that not only did she know what they were, but, knew exactly how to disable them.

And, frankly, if blinking at holograms would disable them, why the heck didn't anyone tell the Enterprise crew that. Would have saved them a hell of a lot of time.

And even if there were interactive holograms around back in their original time, why would they even be running the same software nearly 1000 years later, let alone have an unpatched security flaw? That part was just silly on too many levels.

Which is a shame, because Georgiou's interactions with David Cronenburg's character were otherwise excellent.

Well, this goes back to my previous point. I am getting the vibe that there is something going on that we are not seeing yet. My gut is feeling that Control is not actually gone. Survived somehow? Backup copy existed in Section 31 over the centuries?

Maybe I am wrong, but something is up and it may be poor writing, but maybe it is a plot point.

Cheers

I don't think that holograms a thousand years later are based on Control code, no.

I think that's just a sloppy bit of writing trying to make her look really badass even 900+ years after her time.

The actress is great, but I am tired of antiheroes. I'm not looking forward to the Section 31 show

Absolutely! The world needs more Pike's and less Georgiou's

What's particularly annoying is that the original Captain Georgiou character was great, an awesome and compelling example of a Star Trek captain. Alternate-universe Georgiou feels like a waste of the actress.

What's the point of having another goody two shoes captain? You got the rest of the crew for that, Pike and generic 101 federation captain.
