Discovery should have been set in the future of the series. Then not only would the RIDICULOUSLY HUGE AMOUNT OF EMPTY SPACE in the ship would make more sense, the advanced tech would make more sense, and most importantly, they wouldn’t need to retcon ANYTHING.
They just wanted to be able to use certain characters and wanted to be set before almost anything else. So they did the dumb thing and placed the advanced future ship in the past.
It’s not like you can’t make an early-timeline modern show without making a bunch of weird conflicts, retcons, and anachronisms. Strange New Worlds is great and sticks pretty well to the canon tech, styles, and sigh Klingon physical appearance as the original canon (or Next Gen canon for the Klingons) with slick modern production, design and writing. But they wanted an early-timeline show with advanced late-Trek tech, unique species designs, and muddled in with established characters. They wanted their cake and to eat it too. It isn’t a bad show, but from the very beginning they wrote themselves into having to later recon the entire show out of the annals of Trek History or else all of the canon would make no sense.
No, Discovery should have been a post-Dominion war show, and had nothing to do with a Spore drive, or Spock.
Discovery should have been an all holodeck show starting Moriarty as The Captain.
Also fuck you autocarrot like many a lonely pirate I will not use homosexualidad as a replacement for holodeck. Even though I still agree.
it’s almost like you want me to repeat myself about disco making more sense if you assume they’re just tripping space balls off space spores.
This fucking show with the mucous space ship engine. It’s just so un-Star Trek and bullshit. The whole show premise was based on horseshit.
Voyager used bioneural gel packs instead of isolinear circuitry. The ship caught the flu once
Two (arguably bad) episodes compared to entire seasons exploring the fucking mushroom drive 😩
But then you would never have had Leola Root Stew (substitute coffee, substitute chowder, substitute warp plasma, there’s nothing it can’t substitute) and can that truly be called living?
Don’t forget about spicy Plomek soup and ship wrecking Mac ‘n’ Cheese.
Something something section 31, spore drive, organic navigator, gel packs…
And apparently if you do it 47 times in a small area you can just between the mirror and prime universe
Spores must flow.
Tuvok catching Seska sneaking a soup to Chakotay: Sorry, I must confiscate this soup. It will get us home faster.
A torpedo on a timer could do the same.
The captain asking a Starfleet officer to make that ultimate sacrifice for the crew would do the same.
Chuck it on the plot hole pile.
