Most of the crew would have no idea who Picard was either which is kinda funny.
Culber had a bit of a moment like that when explaining the Soong mind transfer he was going to perform on Gray last season.
"Soong first used it on a a Starfleet admiral - Picard was his name - but the success rate was so low that eventually people just stopped trying."
Overall, though, the Discovery crew seems remarkably well-educated about the time they skipped over.
You are my hero.
Somehow you think I think “her project was the tractor beam”, whatever that means.
No, but this helps me understand how you found this scene so confusing.
By your own admission, she was working on taking out the ship's engines...when she got the warning that it was down to 70%, she said, "come on, come on." That was her project, not the tractor beam. She told Rayner to let go so the Antares could get clear and not risk destruction.
The computer was telling her the the warp failure was imminent, the collapse of the field risked tearing the entire ship apart, and she had to get clear of it in order for Discovery to rescue her.
So...yes, I guess I can?
I can't believe I forgot to mention today's biggest revelation: a Type 3 phaser is just a Type 2 phaser stretched out!
I wonder if the whole thing can be squished into a convenient, easy-to-conceal Type 1...
I think at this point I'd rather see one of the Isa Briones characters, were they to go that route.
Fred's Data cosplay walked right up to the line of silliness for me, but honestly he probably represents a legitimate stage of...Soongvolution.
A Taupe Directive is just nap time.
Over 800 years, and they still don't know what they're for...
As predicted, it's Captain Rayner's galaxy, and we're all just living in it.
I can see what the various interviews were saying - things are already set up to have a sense of finality, with a strong theme of "moving on" woven throughout just about every character's arc so far.
The "respectful Indiana Jones" vibe is a lot of fun, I hope they can sustain this energy for the rest of the season.
Risa? I never even met 'a!
