Well now I’m going to have to rewatch Wrath of Khan to double-check.

That sucks! Clearly you need to break into Netflix’s offices and just start shooting everyone with tranq darts until they put it back on.

I don’t think any Federation ship in Trek was shown as having an aft Torpedo launcher until the Enterprise D.

The anthology concept was Fuller’s, and pretty much left with him, as far as anyone can tell.

I think Saru’s actions this week are the sign that he didn’t need the computer to validate his captaincy, and he knows it now too.

Zack keeps hitting the “what is Discovery about?” button, but I still think the answer is that it’s about Burham.

It’s still on Netflix in the UK and Ireland. Oddly, I first watched the show on the US version before they cracked down on VPNs, and was let down when I found it wasn’t on it here - only for it to show up a few months later. I did a rewatch a few weeks ago and it still makes me laugh.

There’s a British sitcom with a similar conceit from around the same time, Drop The Dead Donkey. Set in a newsroom, satirised the news of the day, to the point of not finalising the script until a day or two before filming to stay as topical as possible.

He was in High Fidelity

Bitcoins are ‘mined’ by running a program on your computer which solves a complex maths problem. To simulate scarcity, the problem gets harder the more coins are mined, meaning you need to spend more time or use a more powerful computer to get the same results.

Did you know he ad-libbed the line ‘bit of a bother’ and they made it into the title of the movie?

I remember hearing about it at the time, and being primed fo rlike one Mirror Universe episode, but the mid-series cliffhanger made it kinda obvious in context that the ship had misjumped and it was going to be an arc.

There’s a lot of same day or soon after stuff on Netflix in the UK/Ireland - Discovery, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Riverdale, Better Call Saul, The Good Place, an anime or two. The last series of Rick and Morty showed up 6 days after each episode aired in the US, for some reason.

Either that or it wasnt the interphasic that caused the crazy, or maybe the Empereor is just straight up lying about that.

And a lot of it seemed to be wishful thinking that DISCO wasn’t set in the Prime Universe, but with the temerity to update the look to appeal to contemporary audiences.

The description when Culber spoke to Tyler/Voq about it suggests it’s a heavily altered Klingon body.

And as far as seeing this coming... Was there knowledge that they were going to the mirror universe before the mid-season finale?

Culber mentions having to assist the CMO on a procedure (I think it was a root canal on an Andorian?) early on, the episode where the Tardigrade was set free.

If Discovery makes it home and shares their data on Tyler/Voq, it’s possible the Federation can program Tricorders to easily detect this change by the time TOS rolls around

Hey there, I’m a 40 year old man, who engaged in a lot of shitty behaviour in my late teens, and can distinctly remember a few instances where I engaged in behaviour towards women which would deservedly be worthy of a me too hashtag if the women I creeped on decided to openly talk about it.
