[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7591248, member: 22779"] LOL. That was a LOT of shuttles. Someone has been reading their Star Fleet Battles I think before writing this episode. Really draws straight from how the old game played out a lot of times. At least, that's how we played it. As far as using the Command Codes go, well, that was something of a massive plot hole that they added into the show. I mean, there were numerous TOS episodes where, if you have the command codes of another federation ship, the plot would have been resolved a lot easier - The Ultimate Computer, for example. And, since this show is set decades before Khan, it's possible that command codes hadn't been instituted on ships. In fact, I could see this incident as the reason why command codes were added to Star Fleet ships, in order to prevent something like this from happening in the future. At least the death scene with Burnham in the future vision didn't look at all like a borg death scene. That was an angry AI. :D But, on the other hand, of COURSE they are putting Burnham in the suit. Sigh. Really? It makes all the hand wringing and emotional goodbye scenes ring so hollow. We know she isn't going to die. We know she isn't going to be lost forever. It dragged on and ate up so much run time, and, frankly, I just didn't care. I found the death of Airiam to be far more impactful. Oh noes, Burhnam is going off to certain death... again... at the end of this season... snore. I really, really hope they do the whole "lost in space" thing though next season. Let Discovery actually do some fairly bog standard Star Trek one off episodes for a season. Just for a change of pace if nothing else. [/QUOTE]
