I am predicting this is the place where Section 31 and Rule 34 first collide in a big way.

B-Dunks’ performance is masterful in Threshold. It’s every hammy instinct one could muster up, but with production value. The tongue scene alone is amazing.

A decent point, but each of those ships were from realities where the Cerritos is that class. Just as there are Klingons who never left Quo’nos or never evolved past proto-Klingons and those crews and ships were affected by the reality waves to reveal them.

I think there is a reality within which the Klingons evolved slightly differently and developed a slightly different culture, but remain close enough that we don’t see major changes to the events of the Prime timeline.

Is it fair to assume that, by showing the Klingon turning Disco, that the implication is that Discovery exists in a reality almost identical to the Prime Timeline, but with differently evolved Klingons?

If so, it begs a question. Is there a Mirror Universe for every reality? Or do they all share one?

If we’re talking extinguished timelines the Year of Hell Janeway would like a word. (Unless…did you erase her for the glory of the Krenim Imperium?)

British. Specifically Scottish.

As I am not American I grew up with socialism being a positive connotation in day to day culture, so much so it’s wild to me that this needed to be veiled in Trek’s past. Star Trek should be as explicit as possible with this. “Hey, you want Utopia? This is how you earn it!”

I lost so much money in that too.

True, but also it’s the Discovery, not the Discovery A we have now.

Calypso has to be assumed to be canon to a prevented timeline (maybe one where Control won at the end of season 2 etc.)

I thought it was quite good myself; it reminded me very much of the doctor taking over Seven’s body in Body and Soul, the various crew possessions in Powerplay, and Curzon inhabiting Odo in Facets. I do enjoy getting to see an actor really chew the scenery outside the confines they have worked in before.

“Coffee. Black.” “Make it yourself!”

What the actors knew and what the writers knew are not necessarily the same thing though. The writers could well have had a much better idea this would be the end of the road, and left them selves avenues accordingly.

That’s a half-myth it seems. There was a write in campaign from the fans to rename the then tentatively named Constitution (in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the US Declaration of Independence), to Enterprise. At the same time, Gerald Ford had the final say, and he himself served aboard the famous WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise (CV-6). It would appear that there is a confluence of two wishes to lead to the test vehicle being finally officially named the Enterprise. Certainly of recent years, NASA has seemed happy to not dispel that story though.

Some interesting tid-bits here though. The NCC-1701 was early on going to be named the USS Yorktown. Yorktown-class was the ship class of the CV-6 Enterprise. While we all know that the ship class of the NCC-1701 was the Constitution-class.

So, it’s my belief therefore that, in our timeline and Star Trek’s timeline, American men of a certain age seem to be obsessed with the symbolism of three particular names; and no matter what, the Shuttle would have been Enterprise in both.

Yeah. Not sure what that poster is on about, Sir Patrick is in terrific form still. The only thing I think maybe differs is the energy, but that’s down to personal tone and timing, Sir Patrick hasn’t aged or changed massively from his prime, he’s always been of less jubilant character, but still very present and engaged.

This depends on the job and role, I know plenty people who tend to be flung at a project for 6-8 months, then pivoted to another, ad infinitum. For them, changing company etc is only slightly more inconvenient for them and the employer than shifting internally.
