Star Trek: 10 Secrets About The USS Discovery-A You Need To Know 

I’m actually glad someone else noticed the whole “who was actually jumping discovery at the end” lol

Zora had emotions. So, how did being alone for a 1000 years not drive her absolutely insane?

Burnham's son jumped ship as he was 1/2 Kwejian and possibly an empath too.

I've been playing with maths and aspects of theoretical physics for over 25 years, and I have never been able to visualise higher dimensions until I watched Discovery for the 2nd time.

Sonequa Martin-Green does not have dreadlocks. She has braids, and it was a wig. If we are going to differentiate between cloaking devices we are going to a Black woman’s hairstyle right.

Calypso mini episode now being the last time we see Discovery is indicating that once again, the Federation has regressed to a myth like it did because of the burn.

I miss ST Discovery already. Can't wait for Starfleet Academy

The amusing part is that Clark wearing Glasses was for more effective that expected :P

One of the concepts for Discovery A had the saucer+neck separated so I wonder if the separated spore jump is a kind of reference to that

THANK YOU!!!! I thought I was the only one who noticed there was no one to do the final jump!

As a side note about the STO stuff, the Battle Cloak just means it can fire while cloaked rather than needing to decloak before attacking

The turboshafts in my opinion are basically a spectral view of the ship's interior

The who jumped the ship at the end! Staments totally needed to be there also!

I find it odd that they gave it an A designation after a refit. The Enterprise was nearly a completely new ship, and they didn't give it an A designation until the Enterprise was destroyed and a similar ship was rechristened. Also, it didn't make since that a ship from a thousand years ago was deemed to be the most advanced ship and pretty much became the flag ship of the Federation. They wouldn't have refit the Discovery. Instead, they would have put it in a museum as an ancient artifact. I honestly don't care that it had the spore drive which oddly was the most advanced tech. Actually, I would have thought they would have been hopping galaxies rather than having what basically is gimmicky tech. I'm not saying that programmable matter wouldn't exist, but it's not terribly important to exploration like warp drive is. At any rate, pretty much the entirety of Discovery wouldn't be salvageable at that point. Just build them a brand new ship. A quote from Spock sums it up: "I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins." Yup.

I chose to believe that Star Fleet wouldn’t have decommissioned the Discovery A if they couldn’t make more spore drives

To be honest im really upset this series is over. I enjoyed it and their was much left on the table. Im an old star trek fan and the thought of having this show, plus Picard and Strange new worlds going on consecutively was a dream.

12:53 Sean, Michael Burnham has BRAIDS, not dreadlocks. There's a big difference.

Good video! I like the separate floating parts look. As a teenager, I was a fan of the Recognizers' design in Tron and used to do my initials in that style.

Owo has locs, Burnham has braids

LMAO I too had the realization of who jumped the ship About 3 hours before upload. haha

i was waiting for this

I thought the gap between the ship and nacelles was ridiculous and I loved Discovery.

4:20 in STO there is cloak, battle cloak and advanced battle cloak. Difference is: cloak can not be used when in combat. Battle cloak can be used when in and outside of combat (red alert status). Advanced battle cloak can be used in and outside of combat BUT you can also fire from it.

Kirk did make reference to Scotty, " even if you have to clast out of there with the main section get the ship outta there"

The battle cloak in STO is a technical differentiation the game uses. They have standard cloaks which can only be activated when not at red alert. Battle cloaks can be used during combat. Advanced cloaks are also there for those like the ST VI BoP which can fire torps while remaining cloaked.

The Yamato from Tng season 2 also had an E at the end of its registry number

Great video! I enjoyed Star Trek Discovery a lot and I'm sad that it's come to an end.

The USS Yamato has the registry of NCC-1305 E in TNG season 2 "Where silence has lease" but then it had a different registry "NCC-71807" for the episode "Contagion" later that season

Good to know. Thank you.

Wait. Yeah, if Michael was the only one in Discovery, how could she jump? They re-engineered the sport drive to mimic that box that Book had?

There was also a USS Relativity -G. While the Excalibur -M dishonours the Ambassador class NCC-26517 version seen in TNG.

they get royalties every time lens flares are used? LOL

Beautiful.

How did granny Burnham get back after her last jump?

Considering Discovery and most 32nd century technology, has detachable warp nacelles, it makes sense that the saucer can be separated too.

The avalanche sequence from Red Directive pisses off the geology love in me so much! In geology there is concept of 'angle of repose'. In simple term, since that is all I know, a vertical land form will seek a slope in which it is stable. That was a vertical cliff, it would not race across a long distance like in the ep. That scene stole my suspension of disbelief so HARD!

I still can't get over the fact that Burnham just abandoned both Discovery and Zora in the middle of nowhere for a thousand years. I can understand if the Short Trek episode "Calypso" is no longer canon, but now I want a sequel of the ultimate fate of Zora after Craft left Discovery.

I'm not sure why they didn't streamline the bridge more given the Covid restrictions. I'm not talking the extreme single station bridges we saw in All Good Things, but even the Titan-A ran with less manned bridge stations. Discovery now had a sentient AI. I'm not sure why it still needed both Ops and Spore Drive Ops along with the 1st officer still having a large workable station.

The odd thing is the Excalibur as 1664 got broken when they had the Ambassador with a different registry

The new version relied on a lot of energy to "hold it together" whereas the original was held together by rivets, welds, hopes and dreams. The former may be energy efficient for a century with no problem but a millennia? The older configuration would have an easier time holding itself together over a vastly longer time as no energy is wasted.

Thanks. 🖖🏻

Will we get a series where in the 42nd century somebody finds the USS discovery and uses its spore drive as a weapon? I would hate to see this unique ship just vanish away from Star Trek.

How many times could that "Saucer Separation" have save their lives

Well now I know what an “AR Wall” is.

LOL... Your Square Space bit was amazing Sean! LLAP!

It's been a long road.....getting from there to here.......

The commercial at the end is weird and cute. I actually watched it.

The calypso explication was obviously just so they could do something before the end of the show. Was it bad? Yeah. But also they had very little time to get it right.

How could the same ship become the Discovery -A it is the same frame

You know, Zora taking the ship into the nebula didn't mean that the ship actually waited a thousand years. That's what the cover story was, hence why it was decommissioned back to original form. There probably was no wait, otherwise why bring her there so early?

0:52 Discovery is the same size as a Constitution Class ship, but yet when they jump to the future it looks about the same size as all the other ships which are further in the future than Picards ships (which are nearly double the size of the Constellation Class ships)? Even Voyager, (a diddi ship!) was bigger than kirks' Constitution Class Enterprise, but still smaller than Picards' Galaxy Class Enterprise!

Well ....there you go.... transformers/star trek crossroads figure..... If they did it with ecto 1.... GET ON IT ... and I loved Discovery

I admit I rather naively picked up a detail from a fan movie, and imagined it was canon. So I now have to assume, of course, that Starfleet ship names are not limited to thirteen different vessels? I had believed that once they get to L, they’d stop using the name, or at least jump to N, because M was exclusively used on the registry number when any ship because a Museum ship. Discovery obviously puts the kibosh, on that one.

The 'wireless' nacells and ships that changed geometry made no sense to me. Visually, very cool, but the practicality was nil.

When was there an A? I saw every episode and didn't see a 1031-A anywhere.

Did you notice the shuttle Bay doors were closed in the final episode at that last scene? they listen to us!

Please, where is the scene at 10:06 from?

Love your videos but not the silly voices for the ads. :-)

The Excalibur 🎉 Go for Captain Calhoun 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

my only question was that the warp nacelle's shape (tadpoles) have stay that size and be kept that much elongated?. I mean, the day I take this eaglemoss model of Disco out of the box, I'll just use it to pick up my BBQ- ed shish kabobs of the lunch plate.

I have just finished my computer science degree and I would also have struggled to remember all of that technobable Sean 😅

Honest question. Why would you film this before the show ended?

If I had to guess: Discovery jumped to a place and Book's Ship (which also has DASH drive) Burnham and crew offload to book's Ship. Book jumps back with Burnham and crew.

Never noticed the changes! Arrrggg (aside from the nacelles)

I think someone may have forgotten about the USS Defiant-A 👀 Edit Err It's been bought to my attention there wasn't a Defiant-A 😳 Move along, nothing to see here.

This does mean that Star Trek short track calypso takes place in the 42nd century with Discovery having waiting around a thousand years from the it's 30 second century refit and then sent off into deep space to sit around that means Calypso takes place in the 42nd century

felt Zora was sidelined

I think the biggest problem with discovery was the writing overall. If the show was better written, I think the response would’ve been much better. I don’t blame the actors because they’re getting paid to do a job and to do the job to the best of their ability with what they have. Now, if this show had the kind of storytelling that’s in strange new worlds, I think discovery would’ve been much better and would’ve lasted into a sixth season.

battle cloak in STO means you can attack with torpedoes while cloak it's a little feature for specially trop boats that basically you have only torpedoes/mines and no others weapons and can be used while in battle meanwhile normal cloak is disable during fights. after this pointless explanation i go and meet some phased alien in the transport device

Does anyone know how far Burnham took Discovery on the last mission & how did she get back?

What episode is the calipso

5

32nd Century Starfleet didn’t really feel 32nd Century. We saw from Voyager like 500 years ahead they had time ships with really cool designs. It seems since then Starfleet only really has programmable matter. They’re still using Dilithiun at the time of the Burn which is odd how they hadn’t invented something better in the 1000 or so years Warp Drives had been around.

Rather stupid though that they just could call a starship A after no more than getting a refit. The Enterprises had to be destroyed, retired or have some other ship being completely renamed and given the same registry before the A, B, C, D, E, F and G could exist.

I would have so much less problems with discovery, if the entire thing had taken place in the 31st century, i mean nearly all of my complaints would be gone here. -_-

With exception of a couple of episodes. This last season sucked. And what the hell with the saucer separation? It wasn't need and felt like a after thought anyway.

I am so tired of every comment here hating on Star Trek Discovery. Get a life, find a new hobby, touch grass. Do something else with your life than hate a show. Live long and fucking prosper.

The saucer separation at the last min was such a plot hole device. Was disappointed.

This putting alpha chars after ship registries is going a bit too far, isn’t it? Enterprise was a hero ship and a hero captain plus the general public knew what NCC-1701 meant so as a brand it had to stay. But no one cares that Voyager is NCC-74656 and no one cares if it gets an A or not. Same with Discovery, and the Titan. Starfleet (and real navies) would give them new numbers that corresponded to class, commission, and purpose. We’ve seen 3 Defiants, each with its own registry and no one laments the loss of the original #. So seriously it’s just dumb now.

Don't loose your day job. Squarespace. BWAHAHAHA 😆

This show was SO desperate. Dont like the ship? Well here's a new one! And it can cloak! And can separate the saucer! And land & take off again! And it has all the sphere data! And an AI! And a cat! A show should be good on it's own as a SHOW, not a series of gimmicks.

Those are braids, not dreads.

Owosekun has dreadlocks. Burnham has braids.

i love ya Sean, but Let Disco Die.....please.

Secret no1 - it is not Star Trek.

Worst Star Trek series ever. SO boring and so much virtue signaling. Terribly written plots. This series is a shining example of why politics need to stay out of beloved works of art such as Star Trek. Please discontinue this series.

I really dont need to know…. That show still suck, DS9 all the way

It looks too CGI and not authentic looking.

LOL OMG the worst ship design with so much retconned gobbledeguk thanks to Kurtzman, who had NO IDEA what to do when Fuller was fired... Bryan Fuller never wanted a spore drive or empty turbo shaft "canyons..." How you wax on romantic about this dumb show & even worse ship design is... typical.

Respectfully and I like your videos. As a hardcore trekkie discovery is a disgrace on the franchise. Also if the warp nacelles separate stands to reason everything else separates to, which I might add is absolutely ridiculous. Rant over..let's hope 33nd century starfleet is better. Show missed so many beats. No Clinton's no borg no 8472 no crenim. Missed a beat with their absence. Don't get me started on the acting. Thank God strange new worlds is a welcome recovery

Why do we have to talk about the most hated ship in the fleet dude discovery is over let it die already it was stupid no buddy cared for it here in the US so let's just toss sum dirt on the thing and barie it and let's not talk about this stupid ship ever again

The whole spore drive thing was the dumbest idea in Star Trek ever. What next Pride Power? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Discovery is the ugliest ship in all of Star Fleet. It looks like something I would have drawn when I was 10 years old.

I believe the Yamato in tng was the E.
