Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?

Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I'm gonna start out by saying that I promise I'm not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I'm fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did...

No, there's an offhand mention or two, but nothing impactful. The most important tie is Pike being aware of his fate, but they recap that pretty thoroughly.

I will always root for Trek to succeed. I’m hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn’t too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.

Oh, are these legislators planning to pass laws cracking down in wage theft, safety violations and guaranteeing a living wage with basic healthcare and retirement benefits?

No?

Then they can fuck off.

Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more ( apnews.com )

Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour....

Democratic Gov Tim Walz, who vetoed a bill last year that would have boosted pay for Uber and Lyft drivers, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was concerned because so many depend on those services, including disabled people.

I get the sentiment, but relying on private for-profit companies to provide basic transportation services in a city is stupid. That’s how Minneapolis got in this situation.

I gave it fair chance and watched the first three seasons. There were a few bright spots here and there, but I never connected with the characters or felt like the writing was up to par. I still hope they pull off a good final season, but I’m not planning to watch it any time soon.

Anything involving Romulus’ star means that ‘saving the planet’ is completely impossible.

Eventually, yes, but if it were possible to collapse the exploding star in a way that didn’t totally roast the planet it would buy a fair bit of time to continue the evacuation. It’ll get very cold and photosynthesis will stop, but with enough power and food, the population could hang on for several years if needed.

Oh, I very much doubt that he’s the only billionaire who’s written a letter like this to Google in the past year.

The impact to the timeline form the Narada affected the timeline before that point as well because it affected subsequent time travel (allllll the times SNW, TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, etc. went into the past would have occurred differently)

They share it amongst themselves via third party consulting firms already. This just gives the public visibility.

Trump in deposition says he averted ‘nuclear holocaust’ ( thehill.com )

For nearly seven hours, lawyers with the New York attorney general’s office grilled Trump over his company’s business practices and his children’s roles within the Trump Organization. When asked about how his position changed within the Trump Organization when elected president, Trump said he was “very busy” and...

I’m preventing a nuclear holocaust right now

I don’t think 24 episodes will be happening any time soon, but it would be nice to have 12-14. Ten is so few, and with the ongoing strikes, it’s going to be a while until another season happens.

Star Trek: Prodigy Is One Of The Most In-Demand TV Shows In The US, Data Shows

I mean, not that surprising under the circumstances.

I don’t think it had anything to do with the show itself and was a purely financial move.

Companies across many industries are being told by their investors to cut expenses yesterday and they’re abruptly shutting things down, laying people off, etc. Even if they’re profitable.

I’d really like to see them bring Bruce Hemmer back as a new character. That’s what I hoped for when I first heard we’d see him again in Season 2.

Pike is absolutely the kind of foodie who’d keep a supply of real bacon aboard. The good stuff keeps a while and they’ve probably got stasis fridges. I’m sure he’s got a whole network of food purveyors across the quadrant to restock with meat and dairy every starbase visit.

And not to overlook : Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success… don’t hesitate to step on them.
