I wondered if Georgiou would hug Burnham or not. Those two have a weird connection. Burnham got Georgiou's doppelganger killed. Doppelganger Burnham was Georgiou's adopted daughter who betrayed her to join up with Lorca.

[@Phantom19913]

I think its more simpler then that Georgiou failed her Burnham raised her nurtured her, most likely Burnham was going to be the next empress but she threw it all away to be Lorca's queen. Then you have prime Burnham who is everything she tried to raise her Burnham to be strong, independent, and cunning. Then for Burnham mirror Georgiou is more like her someone who she can empathize with because she is flawed just like her Georgiou she can be honest with something she couldn't be with her Georgiou.

Had the Federation, Klingon's and the rest of the species that use dilithium in their warp drives been laid low because of the Burn, then the Romulan Empire would have been the only power able to capitalize on the event.

By this time as the show shows, the federation is dead

[@exilestudios9546]

Ok so I am getting tired of correcting this but dilithium isn't what makes FTL work it's what make the power generators that power FTL systems work. Without dilithium regulating power flow the ammout of raw power generated by such reactors would overload a ships systems and detonate the reactor that generated the power in the first place. The fastest a ship can go with a reactor that doesn't use dilithium is warp 1 also known as light speed.

[@petemarqdadon]

@@exilestudios9546 thanks for clearing that up

[@NLVDragon2054]

@@exilestudios9546 To be even more specific: dilithium is the only crystal substance that is able to focus matter and antimatter streams so they can collide and generate the power necessary to power up the warp field coils that then create the warp field bubble, which allows the ship to travel faster than light.

[@johnwang9914]

I do think they screwed up the reason for the burn though. There was quite a few options that would've been better including some with a basis in TNG and in beta canon. Personally, my head canon would've gone with dilithium actually being a life form hence the source drying up at the same time and then ceasing to function hence causing matter/antimattee explosions with all starships that were in warp at the time, would just be part of their life cycle hence there would no need for anything to be FTL to cause the simultanous actions. There are real life examples of such lifecycles with say bamboo, and numerous insects such as cicadas, and in TOS there was a silicon based tunneling creature with a brood lifecycle and that would be an example of not only such a life cycle but basically rocks being a life form so both of the premises for dilithium to be a living organism and both the sudden stop in supply and the burn all happening at the same time. But no, they went with a mutated child screaming which would require some FTL propagation.

[@insigificantinsect4880]

So why did they go with the Romulus engine design, micro black holes!

[@kvoltti]

It’s possible that while the drives don’t rely on dilithium for power, dilithium is key in their construction. Providing the energy required to form the singularity. Between that and the destruction of Romulus by the time of the burn it might be a lost technology.

Across parsecs of space, it would still take seconds, if not minutes, to detect something like that.

Haven't they even watched some older, real, Star Treck episodes? E.g. the one where Data explains the duties of a second in command to Worf, risking their friendship in the process? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH6upX6Ej9xneNE These characters are supposed to be among the best people the Federation could produce, well tested officers with years of training and battles behind them. Yet they act like spoiled teenagers. Maybe because that's the target audience? Even then, I think they severely underestimate said audience. As a reasonably spoiled twelve year old, I loved Star Trek. I would have switched off THIS crap asap. Getting emotional is fine - AFTER their duty, the military business, is taken care off. See the end of the Data/Worf scene above. In this case here, after formally reporting back to the ship. Establishing, you know, the lines of command. Kinda important when most of the Federation fleet is gone and one commands (or not) a vessel with weapons of mass destruction that can destroy whole freaking planets. Takes one minute, if done right. THEN you can get all huggy and squeamy as a writer, if you wish.

This reminds me of the shit they started doing in doctor who. we cannot relate to Burnham, nor do we feel the relief she does as she's not been gone for long for us. So this is wholly unearned.

[@shanenway3684]

Illogical.

[@pderham26]

@@shanenway3684 Yeah, from a writing perspective.

[@shanenway3684]

This is Star Trek remember?

[@andytay5507]

that's a joyful reunion, but the science is shit. Inert means inactive, so a ship would not blow up.

[@Lord_Sunday]

Fortunately for everyone this is science fiction and so the specifics of how warp cores work are made up and therefore able to be utilised however the plot seems relevant. I quite like this season for its no fucks attitude towards the shitty fan base who only wants carbon copies of tng.

I wish she would stop speaking in a whisper.

[@chevon1920]

Why do they make her wear those horrible wigs??

[@adrianwelch1435]

this is not star trek in any way shape or form

[@danny117fc]

in the voice of the comic book guy from the simpsons " worst star trek EVER "

[@izickdecay2250]

Horrible

[@wj3186]

Loves it.

[@metaloverlord7465]

You know Izick, without any context for all we know you are using 'horrible' to describe your existence. Next time put some thought and/or effort into it you schmuck.

[@smeexs76]

😠😡🤢🤮

[@burtsangalang8945]

The script is so terrible

[@jimhall3810]

The writing for this show is awefull.

[@tyroneleis2665]

Bad show! Bad concept! Bad writing! Give me DS9 any day over this shit!!

[@julieeverett7442]

since ds9 is a rip off of b5 , one of the most perfect novels for tv ever, agreed

[@FL-gg4dq]

This show sucks......

[@pierelenigus8598]

look everybody, we can take an exciting and hope inspiring franchise and destroy it easily by simply polluting it with feminism activism and affirmative action. TOTAL GARBAGE!! HARD PASS!!

[@dickdastardly635]

From the UK, Ah Star Trek Discovery, unbelievably woke and complete rubbish.

[@akrinornoname2769]

What's unbelievably woke about it? The fact that there is a black woman who is the chief science officer? The fact that several queer people exist and are happy?

[@billybobby7607]

What a crap show, all hugs and feelings, where's moral issues where trek is about.

[@chrisfrank4267]

Woke Star Trek sucks
