An acquaintance of mine has the theory/head canon that, in universe, STD is actually the psychotricorder readings of a starfleet crewman named Michelle Burnham-who was comatose and hallucinating wildly after being infected by alien fungal spores, which were now growing a mycelial network in her brain. The “fungus” angle, one of the last things she heard before (or picked up subconsciously from sickbay during) the coma, was integrated into the “storyline” of her coma dream, with the rest being explained by the high grade psychedelic effects of the fungus (all the flashy lens flares, impossible glowing technology, etc)…and by Mikey turning out to be much more seriously psychologically disturbed on a subconscious level than anyone realized. Probably her parents were killed by Klingon pirates-hence, why they take the form of subhuman monsters, and she suffered from cripplingly low self esteem…resulting in her fantasy self being a complete Mary Sue, adopted sister of one of Starfleet’s greatest heroes, the the Bestest Officer Evarr, and the Angel Michael. (The latter explaining her name change-dream logic and parasitic ergotism glossing over the incongruous use of a male name to serve the “plot”) “Section 31”‘s appearance was probably just from the offhand urban legend or rumor, likely exaggerated, of an all powerful Black Ops agency. Kinda like rumors about “stealth fighters” in the 80s-they really existed, true, but almost all of the details in public speculation about them at the time were wrong. (Possibly by design.)

@@gabrielclark1425 You know what's even more tragic if you think about it? This shows story could have been half decent if the entire timeline of it was reversed. And then when their future ship gets stranded in pre-kirk era trek half way thru you could have had a lot of plots about them actually trying to hide from starfleet or other races because of temporal prime directive. Hell, could have even led with that daniels twist. Like, if this show had been about the starfleet time cops, man... if only right
As a kid I always wondered when the Enterprise D warped how it might work. How can these nacells create the warp field around the ship and deform space itself? What kind of physics do we still have to understand to make it possible? Seeing the Discovery is just... ..what? Spores? Why is this thing spinning?! WHY?
Ironically warp travel is actually theoretically possible. and the current model is known as the Alcubierre drive. but mushroom engines is a bit too stupid and beyond even sci fi concepts.
@@dustinherk8124 Yeah Spore Drive, is essentially hyperdrive with extra steps. Per the show, the ship drops into the "Mycelial Network" essentially a layer of subspace with this crap, travels through that till it gets to it's corrosponding destination then transits back to normal space. basically hyperdrive. In short, Kurtzman figured out how to get Star Wars hyperdrive into StarTrek with no one noticing.
@@AgentExeider agree to disagree on that. everyone noticed how much BS it was. had Discovery taken place AFTER Voyager, it would of made more sense. Voyager returned back from Earth this crazy amounts of data regarding new FTL methods that were all faster than warp. they even brought home a functional slip stream drive. it was only decommissioned due to safety concerns and their lack of knowledge to properly field test the drive. they had sensor data regarding the borg trans warp network, use of integration of a borg transwarp coil, breaking warp 10, Coaxial warp drives, and all the sensor data from the energy anomoly that catapulted them to the delta quadrant in the first place. Starfleet R&D would have a metric fuqq tonne to work with and learn from to create a newer FTL engine. Not to mention "underspace" a different layer of subspace, not unlike the stupid mushroom drive, that the Vaadwaur used to dominate the Delta Quadrant, until a coalition banded together to defeat the Vaadaur and put the species into hiding for a few hundred years. Voyager had experience with that too.
@@AgentExeider I'd actually consider it closer to space folding in Dune. Even uses a special navigator and everything. Star Wars hyperdive still has perceptable travel time, while discovery appears to move instantaneously. If anything resembles hyperdive its transwarp cooridors or quantum slipstream.

Me too. It was lil the ship was pullin a 3-stooges through the 4th dimension. Also gonna miss the spot on realism for how it portrayed humans of the future would actually solve all their huge problems. By yeeting it through some kind of portal so someone else has to deal with it
The shot at 0:11 and especially the adventure-esque Star Wars like soundtrack had my hopes getting up, but they as usual didn't follow up with that for the rest of the season.
Good technology! But not enough DISCO to use it and REALLY explore. They could get to other galaxies with this. The show could have went on FOREVER. But it can come back with a flick of a pen, some SGA paperwork, and network go ahead.....
I never watched the show. But that ship looks comically stretched out. Having the ship flip around is also silly looking. If this is a mainstay of the show, they forgot that a lot of the star trek episodes were from phenomena or discoveries made while in transit between locations. Such a weird thing to have fast travel from a game also in a show.
I actually was kind of okay with the first half of Season 5, I liked the addition of the grumpy cranky commander butting heads with the hippy dippy Discovery crew. But the finale was a disaster. They literally threw the Holy Grail of Science into a black hole. Apparently the Trek for science is over, we can all just go home, no need to search the stars anymore. Michael got the answer to every question and threw it into oblivion. Cool. Such a great analogy for this entire series. I take delight that Discovery concluded in such a pointless way: no one learned anything, Michael Burnham was given the power of a God (and threw it away) and Booker is still a huge simp unable to even make her tea properly. Perfect. Outstanding. Bravo. It was enough.
I gave up watching Discovery approximately half way through the run. Did they ever explain why spore drive is never mentioned again in the ST universe?
The tartigrade species went extinct, and genetic engineering is illegal in the federation anyway, and failing that you need a Kweijian dude, which the Federation was unaware of during the pre-discoveryS3 eras. Makes sense to me
Worst sound design, mostest boringist unimaginative ship design ever. Crummiest FTL sequence in history. Member when Q flick catapulted the enterprise D, or when the traveler catapulted them "Where None Have Gone Before.'" Let not forget the spore drive, and tardigrade concept was ripped off.

I find it impossible to describe spore jump because the concept is too nonsensical. All I can suggest is google SPORE DRIVE and you will quickly find the Memory Alpha article explaining it (or trying to).
It’s like the interior view of that season 4 jump @ 4.35 on here. Major Grin’s other video… ruclips.net/video/ZFx3TGKXOpg/видео.htmlsi=rB1ZbTj38wRoXXlw
I never liked the cybertruck design, the detached nacelles, or the spore drive effect. Who ever came up with ‘A gay guy with giant water bear DNA uses magic mushroom dust to teleport across the universe using an invisible mycelium network” ate too many.
It was actually an independent game maker who came up with the idea for HIS Scifi story. And we should be supportive of folks who come up with scifi ideas. The problem here is CBS lifted it and use it for their Discovery series because the writer's are both morally and creatively bankrupt.
Is it me or is ALL of the ships and stations in this video poorly designed... They just all look so... Shit. Like as a functional ship or station shit.
my favorite part of the finale was them redesigning discovery AGAIN to go back to how it was pre 32nd century for NO reason and just send zora (who’s literally a sentient being) who knows where to let her go crazy waiting and being active for a thousand years, to meet a guy michael knew the name of a thousand years before he was born somehow. at least the doctor from voyager was like “yo turn me off so i’m not just here suffering” in a few earlier episodes where the crew had to abandon ship
Did they listen to the Canon- Trekkies who demanded consistencies like Nitpicky Nerd….ohh and me as well???….this was a bone they tossed thinking it it would make sense and the Short Treks were worth the $ they had to beg to get made…..instead it made it more inconsistent and dumb.
VFX direction achieved zero visual cohesion between the ridiculous departure which resembles a wood turning lathe powering up, and arrival which is exactly like Battlestar Galactica 2003's even down to the thump of the SFX and dragging smoke etc along with it.
I love Discovery. If Starfleet can’t have cloaking because of the accord (aside from DS9 & the Defiant and two, I think, episodes in the TNG) then they should keep the spore drive. Really cool!
They spun the Breen Ship in the "A" Field, without a large magnetic coil. I see what you did there. Like “A” window motor. -the B-brothers would get this but they would be looking for the huge coil.
Oh my life that is an ugly ship. Also, when that disc that is masquerading as the saucer section starts spinning do crew members get chopped to bits when crossing between the two parts of the saucer when they teleport the ship? 😂
I want a cut of the show in which those annoying sporedrive spins and squeals are edited out. Also...something about the visuals in this show remind me of Farscape so...I wish they had made that show instead, really.
Did they ever use the "spore-drivel" to power the transporters. If I was on that ship, I would have used it to get as far away from that franchise as soon as possible. I admit I watched the 1st series, but never saw any character build except a girl named Michael that was soooooooo far fetched, as everyone else was killed or fled the series.
I stoped watching after they got to the future, but i think using spore drive was forbiden? Something with destruction of this mushroom net due to jumps. I don't even want to check that, why should i care for a show that dosen't care about anything
its really weird how from season 3 onwards the spore jumps are predictable and never drive the plot. I never liked the spore drive anyways but its completely inconsistent with the way it was portrayed in seasons 1-2. It doesn't really have anything to do with inter-dimensional space shrooms anymore. It's just another mode of transportation, and apparently not even the best one since they picked whatever the pathway drive is. Also wasn't there something at some point about hte shrooms being alive and they had to limit their jumps or something??? And tilly entered the mycylial network and became friends with a talking mushroom and promised to visit her but then never mentioned her ever again.
The ship design is bad yet acceptable, but what I hate is the way it functions. That spinning teleportation is just terrible, it looks horrible plus it doesn't make sense. I would gladly appreciate if somebody explained to me how it works.
It has to line up to the Short Trek episode “Calypso”. Normal Discovery is found adrift even further into the future. A random dude finds it and makes love to the computer. I’m not making this up. 🤣
"WUT DIDIDID ID DOO...Boom!" and thats the sound the spore drive makes, as stupid as it is even as a science fiction concept it makes no sense to have spontaneous intergalactic travel
I remember when I was growing up, the warp drive sound that was made in the Star Trek TNG opening. In the 1st season, both the opening and sound were a little bit weak. Then in the 2nd season it gained a bass tone and an oompf to its noise profile. Its felt forceful, and meaningful. The warp trails blurring showed an illusion of speed beyond your imagining. Now we have what sounds like a stupid sci fi macguffin noise, a spinning ship animation(that would likely squash everyone aboard into the walls as paste were it real), and a stupid little rainbow flag trail when it engages what I assume is a normal impulse engine(i have no idea, havent watched a single minute of Discovery that isnt these clips).
Review of the last episode of STD here : ruclips.net/video/u-VYOHC6DFQ/видео.html
An acquaintance of mine has the theory/head canon that, in universe, STD is actually the psychotricorder readings of a starfleet crewman named Michelle Burnham-who was comatose and hallucinating wildly after being infected by alien fungal spores, which were now growing a mycelial network in her brain.
The “fungus” angle, one of the last things she heard before (or picked up subconsciously from sickbay during) the coma, was integrated into the “storyline” of her coma dream, with the rest being explained by the high grade psychedelic effects of the fungus (all the flashy lens flares, impossible glowing technology, etc)…and by Mikey turning out to be much more seriously psychologically disturbed on a subconscious level than anyone realized.
Probably her parents were killed by Klingon pirates-hence, why they take the form of subhuman monsters, and she suffered from cripplingly low self esteem…resulting in her fantasy self being a complete Mary Sue, adopted sister of one of Starfleet’s greatest heroes, the the Bestest Officer Evarr, and the Angel Michael. (The latter explaining her name change-dream logic and parasitic ergotism glossing over the incongruous use of a male name to serve the “plot”)
“Section 31”‘s appearance was probably just from the offhand urban legend or rumor, likely exaggerated, of an all powerful Black Ops agency. Kinda like rumors about “stealth fighters” in the 80s-they really existed, true, but almost all of the details in public speculation about them at the time were wrong. (Possibly by design.)

What an incredibly stupid idea. The cringe level is off the charts.
Boldly going where no stomach has gone before
I wish they did a janeway and sent discovery out of the galaxy with no spore drive never to be seen again
Y on the last one does the ship looks like it reverted back to the s1 version
I just noticed the nacelles aren't even attached. How do they get power? Are the recharged like a Tesla car?
they explained it in season 3 that it's caused by .... Magnets
The nacelles are empathetic with the pylons, they just naturally understand and feel exactly what the pylons feel. They just “know”.
They can make 0.5 past lightspeed with that crazy mushroom engine

It's not physically spinning my dude, unless you truly believe they're duplicating during the spin, or stretching during warp.

it's cool and stupidly overpowered😂
My least favorite show. Maybe not the absolute worst, but I hate it the most because it ruined my favorite series. PIC season 2 is just as bad.
