I've seen this type of scenario before, in other Star Trek series. Usually it happens in an alien planet with human-like beings. It's kinda strange that this is happening on Earth with human beings, usually humans are the ones that settle disputes, albeit with cowboy diplomacy.
A little TV trivia here. Noticed this is the second actor I have seen on this show that worked on “Hell On Wheels”. First , Anson Mount who’s playing Captain Pike, played Cullen Bohannon in that western series and now Christopher Heyerdahl who played “The Swede”that I’m seeing as this Star Trek character. Who else Colm Meaney(Thomas Durant)oh sorry, he played O’Brian in TNG/DS9 LOL!
There’s one more you missed: Jake Weber, who played John Campbell, also played Zareh in the episode before this one. So that’s 4 actors if you count: Colm Meaney (Durant) Anson Mount (Cullen) Jake Weber (John Campbell) Christopher Heyerdahl (The Swede/Thor Gundersen) 😁
@@missdarkfaerie1377 thank you for that one! Just saw the episode he was in. At first when his character appeared I almost didn’t recognize the actor until he spoke, thought “ That guy seemed familiar to me and couldn’t figure what show he was in.” Then remembered his “Hell on Wheels” character. Thank you for the trivia.
I wonder what happened to the Klingons. Do they still consider the humans as their allies? Do they look like the Klingons from TNG or the weirder "Klingons" in STD?
You would think that after 900 years they wouldn't have such loose ends....err, red herrings. No mining or patrolling the asteroids and the outer world moons?
I don't care how devastating the burn was if I was in charge of United Earth I'd make our entire solar system our domain and anyone inside of it would be taking care of
Holy shit it's Todd... you know Todd, the Wraith that Atlantis would work with from time to time on Stargate Atlantis... and you people pretend to be Sci-Fi fans.
You've got a chip on your shoulder. Who said they didn't recognize him? And he didn't only play Todd on Atlantis. He also played Halling, one of the Athosians.
This couldve been prevented....by not firing on an unidentified ship on sight. FFS, you have a giant forcefield surrounding the planet. Give them 5 seconds to identify themselves, heck, just SCAN them, or do you really think a small ship could breach that forcefield in 5 seconds?
@MrHoppers002 in DS9 there were a lot of people living on the Moon. It still seems odd to me that Earth would simply leave the other colonies in the system to fend for themselves even if they split from Earth. It woul make sense to secure the entire system.
@MrHoppers002 exactly I think perhaps section 31 moved it away and that I hope the Trill inside of they, is Dax since she had a host during that time and is fully aware of how things worked then.
The Moon would be difficult to maintain because it has no breathable atmosphere. Even with the recent discovery there is water there keeping a base operational would be a strain on Earth-bound forces. If that base were overtaken by enemy forces then it becomes a reflex point for a bigger force to launch their attacks.
She would of closed the worm hole no questions. She wouldn't care what Bajor said or Sisko. ALTHOUGH... Georgiou would at the very least be a VERY frail old woman during that war if not dead similar to Bones in TNG.
I don't get how earth would fire on a ship asking for help with how there's countless times that same senario happened. And the negotiation terms are so reasonable how was there a conflict?
@@walterdayrit675 - The writers don't seem to have a grasp of astronomy. Real life 20th century space probes powered by radio-isotope thermal generators that do not produce a lot of electricity can still get signals back to Earth. Unless an unspoken plot point is that Earth is also restricting incoming communications as well as vessels.
@@daniels7907 This is exactly what is going on. Earth became very xenophobic, hence their firing upon the Titan vessel. They would have destroyed a probe just as well.
the real question is why didnt discovery receive any distress call or signal on titan? when they jump to the sol system, it clearly somewhere near saturn (titan is saturn moon)
@@jameswg13 it is the saturn moon. But we have no idea just how short range their comms are. It might be possible they simply dont have the equipment to repair any kind of transmission equipment, and the only functional ones they have are on their ships, which werent present at the time. The situation on Titan sounded truly desperate after all.
I honestly think and hope discovery is the tv show that basically shows the fall of the federation and the eventual rise of the federation again and the 31st century is in a sense similar to the 21st century except on a more grand scale
So...let me get this straight....They can build ships that can travel across the solar system........but they can't build a basic radio array to call Earth? I mean sure, it wouldn't be instant communication...There's an about 1.5 hour delay....But it's really not that fucking hard.
It's a TV show and the old trek done it multiple times as well also this is decades of conflict not knowing these raiders were humans and the raiders thinking that Earth did know who they were and still firing upon them you've also got to remember that these are humans 1160 years our senior that give certain captains the right to make peace without having to put a peace accord through a senate and congress then to the president this is a captain realising "Oh shit we killed our own people because we didn't even think before pulling the trigger" and another who has no other choice but to finally get the help his people need cause they have no choice. Also, once again it's a TV show all TV shows sort something out that would take time to sort out. Harder eye roll.
This makes no sense? Easy to communicate with Earth from Titan. Easy to get from Titan to Earth on impulse. Even if warp drive is almost impossible, Earth would still be all over the solar system mining, collecting resources, etc. No sense.
@@meisterigi007 So, that means they wouldn't have registered an explosion? Scaned them? Oh, starships can scan lightyears away, but not 5 planets away 😂 Stop trying to justify shitty writing 😉
You mean Earth didn't even bother to communicate with titan for nearly a hundred years? Not even send a probe or radio transmission within Earth's local solar system to check? WTF?!
Georgiou walks out as soon as its clear there's going to be a happy ending. Don't need to deal with that. Probably went to sexually harass Stamets and Culber to get all that...nice out of her system.
Call me an old-school Terran, but, if it's in my power to help anyone else pick themselves up when they've fallen down, I'll do so without hesitation, terms be damned. This relationship between Earth and her space-based children seems strange to me.
@@satellite_is4994 problem with that is all ships have communication built into them which means for some fuck all reason that ship they sent never opened a channel and most likely bull rushed to earth making itself look threatening which also makes no fuckin sense literally communication shouldn't have ever been a problem it is lazy writing
@@Talren-PU in episode one I remember the liason said communication is like restricted to one section or something?? Because after the born somehow it affect communications. Another peosiblity is because the earth defence force is paranoid?? Why?? Because the raiders ship might not be a register earth vessel or something so.... They assume they were dangerous to preserve earth they shot first. Or maybe han solo is the admiral in earth defence force. So han shot first. (JK)
As she said, the ship was strained beyond its means as it was. And this is the 32nd century. I'm sure they just found the helmet lying around somewhere or cobbled it together from parts. Doesnt seem that difficult even for people who are struggling, if there is a necessity.
That part about the research station having no means of long range communication was bullsh％t. They have ships that can go near earth an relay information short range. Heck, they could have used 21st century sublight communication tech like we use to communicate with our current space probes. It takes hours for a signal to go there but it works!

Such a stupid show, again I haven't bothered watching this season but seeing this clip I can already see how terrible it is. A Colony that has no means of any communication? Earth didn't bother to check on them for a simple status report even though they were supposedly, "self sufficient?" No red flags in lack of communication because clearly they don't have relatives on Earth! no no no. No Radio Signals that they can broadcast? No probes or Drones they can send? They didn't recognize the vessel that they destroyed? was it so Alien in design that they didn't recognize their own class or similar type of Ship? SUCH TRASH WRITING.

As she's sizing up everyone in the room to figure out who she would need to kill in order to make herself Emperor of 32nd Century Earth....

The most Federation thing I've seen in a while out of newer trek.
Most of it was Star Trash actually. People saw it out of habit and some strange affinity to the Trek of yore.
Gotta love that Triumphant Federation Horn playing when something is resolved.

This was a dumb Episode that Titan can't send a signal to Earth they in the Solar system ev even Radio can reach Earth with a Message.
I like how discovery flies past titan on the way into the system, you would think earth would know what is going on in their own backyards.
While it has some semblance of startrek, the actual writing is pitiful.
No long range communications? Give me a break. Titan is so close!!! Short range is enough! Terrible plot.
the first white male yaaaaaaa
Let's all just sing Kumbaya ... Who writes this rubbish?
This is not Star Trek.
But it's getting there.
It's honestly getting there. Season 3 is the closest the series has gotten to the originals.

Yes oh mighty gatekeeper
Such a stupid show, again I haven't bothered watching this season but seeing this clip I can already see how terrible it is. A Colony that has no means of any communication? Earth didn't bother to check on them for a simple status report even though they were supposedly, "self sufficient?" No red flags in lack of communication because clearly they don't have relatives on Earth! no no no. No Radio Signals that they can broadcast? No probes or Drones they can send? They didn't recognize the vessel that they destroyed? was it so Alien in design that they didn't recognize their own class or similar type of Ship? SUCH TRASH WRITING.
