I love how they combined Crusher's seriousness, Bashir's cleverness, Phlox's curiosity, McCoy stubbornness, and The Doctor's professionalism in one character.
Which shouldn't have been very interesting since centuries earlier they had the technology to travel through literally time and the galaxy using transporters.
@@Anarchist86ed the spore drive oh wait DISPLACEMENT ACTIVATED SPORE DRIVE HUB is new to them which yeah, Imagine if this becomes implemented throughout starfleet but that would make them OP right because they can go anywhere and those dark matter BS last episode should fail and bla bla Stammets and Discovery are the only ones that can use the DISPLACEMENT ACTIVATED SPORE HUB DRIVE
I've only watched the first season of Discovery. I have to admit this clip makes me want to go back, specifically because they named a starship Tikhov after the Soviet astronomer Gavriil Adrianovich Tikhov, who first coined the term 'astrobiology' in 1953. I'm impressed that the writers know such an obscure fact of space history.
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.
@@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.
“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.
0:49 anyone noticd after Disco arrived, she said a subtle "woah" Love that since Disco was sent to the future and her sister ship was destroyed, no one was able to replicate the spore drive
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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....
Nice to see her being a first officer and a command officer again, how long that will last, not sure but it was nice to see her take command of discovery, could see her becoming that if Saru gets transferred or promoted or something bad happens or whatever the situation, I mean Saru may wanna go back home now Kaminar joined the federation so who knows for now, I'm liking what's going on I tell you one person who would be enjoying this century Krall from the kelvin timeline, this is the sort of struggle he would like to see make humanity strong again 😂
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.
How this scene wouldve created tension in TNG: Intense back and forth between various bridge crew, exploring options, underlaid with quiet, but tense music. Wesley: We've arrived at the coordinates of the Tikhov, but I don't have it on sensors. Data: However, there is an ion storm in the area. It is possible the Tikhov is inside. Picard: Can you scan the ion storm for the Tikhov, Mr. Data? Data: Scanning. There is no indication of the Tikhov, but the ion storm is interfering with sensor operation. It is still possible that the Tikhov is inside, and that we cannot detect her. Picard: Very well. I'm open to suggestions. Riker: We could take the ship inside the ion storm, see if we can find the Tikhov that way. Data: The ion storm discharges exceed 200 terrajoule. Even with full shields we would last at most thirtyseven minutes. Also transporters will not operate inside the ion storm, meaning we will need to tractor the Tikhov out before beaming. Picard: *briefly ponders* Very well. Riker: Yellow alert! Mr. Crusher, bring us into the ion storm, one quarter impulse. Mr. Data, plot a search pattern. Mr. Worf, raise shields! Riker to Engineering, Geordi, I want everything we have routed into the shields, we're going into that ion storm. Geordi (over comms): Aye, but it will be one hell of a roller coaster. [Stock footage of the Enterprise flying away laid over a matte ion storm background accompanied by tense music before it cuts to the ad break] How Discovery Trek creates tension: Give the helmswoman a random PTSD attack in the middle of piloting and let the navigator who may or may not have lesbian hots for her give her a pep-talk.
@@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)
I didn’t realize what day it was! I just spoiled 43 seconds of this show for myself! So many questions! I’m going to have to hole my breath for tonight.
And once again I say comfortable discovery is the most powerful ship ever in the history of Star Trek and it will be always the most powerful and intelligent.... Thanks
Ah yes. Weird radiation, we haven't identified it. Meh, it's probably fine, let's beam over without protective gear. Although since medbay can generally cure anything, from turning into a spider to, well, death, fair enough.
@@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.
@@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"!
I like star star trek discovery this is single my favorite. Star Trek discovery no repeat other versión espisode this is single the very good serial TV.
It would appear going into an ion storm is still a dangerous thing. But welcoming Willa on to the Discovery may foreshadow the idea of Willa becoming a true member of the crew. And the computer on board Discovery would have started updating the Historical files the second they entered Star Fleet Comand area as normal computer based system do when connected to the main systems.
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.
0:26 - 0:27 😍 I fell in love with Commander Nhan. She is *the* eye-candy female character from Discovery. Actually, I think she is the most beautiful and attractive character/actress from all Trek series, without needing to wear tight clothes and despite those subtle ridges on her front and her eyebrows.
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."
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.
Where did the Federation and Starfleet moved their facilities and ships since Earth calls a 'quit' from the Federation? And is it possible for Earth to rejoin the Federation?
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.
There are so many little used characters (Nahn, Detmer, Owosekun, Rhys) that I will really be pissed if the new character Adira, steals all the screen time. Very unfair.
I'm still skeptical. I'm not convinced Kurtzman understands Star Trek. His association with Abrams makes that understanding even less plausible. This clip did nothing to entice me to more Star Trek Discovery. At this point, even the name of the series is unfortunate. This doesn't feel like Star Trek
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.
@@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.
I would have expected a somewhat larger ship if it's carrying samples of plants from every known world at the time. Something else why have it that only the crew can unlock the vaults? What is they had all died? You would think Star Fleet would have access codes for in an emergency like this?
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.
Why they gotta "show them who are are" so much. When did star trek need so much self validation? Star trek was supposed to be about how we could be, not how we are today...
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.
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

A little bit of chaotic dialog. That's badass. That's new. It was never chaotic. You'd never think anyone might act independently or even question the captain. This is MUCH better scripted than the old stuff. This feels real, raw. New. Star Trek is always trying to new things up, and it fails often enough. But each series, they gotta be like, ok, we're starting a new one, and... it's in the future! And they make the future of the future seem badass. But then there'll need to be a future of that in the next show, so... Wait a minute, how many futures of the future is too many and fans will be like, "what?" They keep making the next future even more futuristic and awesome. Then they did a retro future with that guy from the time traveling series... So they've done future-future and retro-future, and then there's commander Pike that got 3xfuture. And then this, which I think pretty much all fans would agree is 4xfuture. There might have been a bomb or two totally throwing off the count, but fuck'em... not every Star Trek series is even memorable. Boo, take that! May you always hire only the best writers!
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." 😤 😏
Why couldn't they just shove that ship into the cargo hold, bring it where it needs to go, and Nahn goes to bed sleep that night on Discovery. Or is her characters end really "Leaves Discovery to steer a seed ship home or wherever." Um, ok.
