Dude time crystals lmao

I also have never watched Star Trek before this episode

Dropped this when they introduced the gay powered warp drive.

yeah but the computer in question is also running the systems that make air for you to breathe and stuff

Ships in Trek can function--partially--without their computer core.

Meant to reply to

Bullshit, you dont save your 500gb of tranny porn in the system32 windows folder do you? unless the ship is full of retards they wouldn't mix unnecessary files with the software that keeps you alive

>Dropped this when they introduced the gay powered warp drive.

Ironically this is the one part of discovery they actually consulted a scientist on. Said character is in fact named after him as a thank you.

>500gb of tranny porn in the system32 windows folder do you?

I'm afraid you're wrong on that one buddy. 500gb might even be a low estimate.

I find this to be a fascinating show in how utterly boring and unappealing it is. Like, it's not even bad, as of such. It even has some good ideas. It's all just so boring. How do they manage that?

Alex kurtzman is the king of mediocrity

>you dont save your 500gb of tranny porn in the system32 windows folder do you?

That actually seems like the perfect place to hide it.

the plebs here and on /trek/ don't have any clue, but time crystals have been part of trek lore since its inception. the most popular account of it is in the last epi of VOY where granma Janeway uses it to open a portal into the past

>If the tranny porn was intelligent it would move itself in to system32, which is what control was probably doing

She did collaborate with a Klingon scientist for that device. It's possible that Time Crystal time travel is immune from Federation Temporal Investigators.

Timetravel stories never work, because writers can't grasp the concept of it.

>Burnham's mother loses the ability to use the suit
>Spock says her mother can't save her anymore now

A younger version of burnham's mother, still having the suit, could perfectly travel back to a later point in burnham's timeline and save her ass again. The fact that spock mentions this, is just a reminder that the writers of this show can't deal with timetravel. They only see it in a linear way.

>unless the ship is full of retards they wouldn't mix unnecessary files with the software that keeps you alive

Your porn comes packaged as realistically sized DLLs? Because 500gb worth of still images or videos would stick out like a sore thumb no matter where you'd save them.

They're real you fucking plebs:

Whatever number post this is best post.

that's literally a load of codswallop

That wasn't the point retard the point is normally theres a separation between computer power/memory used to run something important and what you use for secondary shit the further away those things are the better and less chances of having bugs,
You wouldn't use a drone flight control board to handle the camera

Are they going to ruin the Borg by making them a section 31 creation?

Probably, it's a Issac Asimov 4th law plot, like in the Will Smiff "I, Robot."

>When did this shit stopped being about scientific soace exploration and turned into a generic magic shitshow

Either the episode with the big-brained aliens who keep slaves with their power of illusion or the episode where the captain’s best friend acquires godlike powers.

COPE

Been watching Orville and it's actually a lot comfier than I thought it was going to be. What's STD like? Worth picking up for sci-fi fans, or is it as SJW-tarded as it looks?

You know how trek will have bad episodes because the plot was stupid, the writing was awful, some actors/writers strike was going on, or the season's budget went dry? However, after that shitty episode, they knock it out of the park? STD is like one of those bad episodes but the entire show is one multi-part episode.

STD could be good, the spore drive could have been a really cool idea. It would allow them to have weird episodes where they show up in random places since stamets hasn't learned to control the spore drive and have to solve some problem while charging the ship's drive back up.

Instead we are filling out a Star Trek bingo card of people, locations, objects, and ideas. I just need to get the Borg tile and I get a bingo! We have had the mirror-verse, section 31, Spock, The Enterprise, and Captain Pike. I have a gut feeling they are about to reveal "True" origin of the Borg. Looking forward, to the shoehorned in Dominion, Xindi, Ferengi, and Cardassians.

Apparently time crystals warp time around them, but all they're shown to do is make time go faster.

It's fine. It has good elements mixed with bad. The lead character is pretty awful, she's meant to be a mix of an emotionless Vulcan with a crying emotional woman, who's smart enough to solve every problem on the ship and the most special person in the universe. It gets tiring. On the other hand, the supporting cast are generally excellent, including two kino Captains (Lorca and Pike), a decent couple of engineers, a level-headed doctor, and Doug Jones doing a pretty good Trek alien.
The quality of the storytelling varies wildly from interesting prequel material (setting up Pike's mutiliation, Harry Mudd's earlier exploits, Spock's journey from The Cage to TOS), to just blatant stupidity where its clear the writers have no memory from one episode to the next. It's probably partially due to the show changing showrunners so often and the fact the guy in charge could give less of a shit about the franchise. However, it does all look pretty cinematic and well executed.
I'd say give it three episodes and if you can't tolerate Burnham by then, move on.

>When did this shit stopped being about scientific soace exploration and turned into a generic magic shitshow
When Sisko turned out being a half Bajoran god who ascends to godhood at the end of DS9. Actually, it was when TNG introduced the Q

Have you ever watched Trek? Any series? They've pushed meta-physical bullshit from the beginning.
