#Star Trek discovery s4

I love that the Discovery crew hugs each other and says “I love you” out loud. Emotional constipation is not a requirement of 32nd century Starfleet.

A soft and simple one for day 4 of Celebrate Disco :))

So one thing I thought about after the finale was how Starfleet revealed a Protostar-class ship, but by the 32nd century, during Seasons 3 and 4 of Discovery, there were none. After the Burn, as long as they weren’t affected, a ship with a protodrive would have been really helpful to the Federation. So I have 3 theories as to what happened to the Protostar-class ships between the events of Prodigy and the events of the last two seasons of Discovery:

1) Starfleet decided to retire them/not make them anymore. They are awfully dangerous if the protostars breach containment, after all. They could have easily decided to retire them after a few catastrophic incidents

2) The Protostar-class ships were affected by the Burn somehow and exploded with the rest of Starfleet’s dilithium-powered ships

3) After the Burn, the Protostar-class ships did survive but then in the 100 years in between the Burn and the Discovery arriving in the future something happened to them that made them unusable or they went supernova and Starfleet didn’t have the resources to make another one

probably for the best that we’re likely never going to see Michael and Book get married on screen because I would’ve been lowkey annoyed if I had to watch her get married in her dress uniform or worse and not like, the Iris Van Herpen fungi collection, or a Gersha Phillips original

good news everyone! I’m now thinking about rayner and book fucking, initially for triangulation purposes (because they are both in love with michael) and then because they catch feelings for each other

I just -- I have an aversion for blue filters, I don't know why but aesthetically, they put me off.

Also the difference from Discovery season 1:

To season 4:

The warm tones are gone, it's just cold light and, no random extras.

On one hand, it's truly great they're still implementing Covid protocols, on the other hand, it just adds to the cold feeling the season 4 hallway gives off.

There also used to be color contrasts in the hallway.

I think, in general industry-wide, something happened with color grading like how somehow cinematographers suddenly forgot how to light night/dark scenes.

joann is attracted to competency…sometimes…but mostly when it’s keyla.

what do you bet spock was thinking "i also have a sister but you don't know that either" during this scene

[lightshiningforth]

Michael and Book are my favorite couple in modern Star Trek. My GOD. Their chemistry! The way they trust each other and work flawlessly as a team EVEN WHEN THEY’RE ON OPPOSITE SIDES! The way Michael breaks down and then has to pull herself together to finish the mission when she thinks he died in front of her! I’m going to lose it.

going through my discovery tag reminded me how much i loved pike in discovery (and discovery as a whole)

[dragons-in-spaceee]

Idk what this is but have some Linus content

[poebrey]

still a bit annoyed that disco’s final season unintentionally focused on someone else’s return to the captains chair after taking three whole seasons to make Michael captain, an entire season after Saru, and only after he stepped down

Please sate my curiosity.

There is one episode of Star Trek Discovery left. If you are a Star Trek fan in ANY capacity, please answer this. For the purpose of this poll, "drop" means that you stopped watching and do not intend to continue. If you do intend to continue but simply aren't caught up, choose the second to last option.

I am asking out of scientific curiosity. This is not intended to spread negativity about Discovery, or encourage anyone to do so by interacting with this poll. I'm simply curious as to, truly, how many people have stuck out Discovery up to this point and what the general fandom temperature is on each component.
