A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

    I was thinking of the Expanse too during this episode. I really would love for Star Trek to take more notes from that series, but maybe “realistic” science is too much to ask from a show with warp drives and transporters and phasers.

      I liked how they explained the red rings around the planet. Water ice with significant iron contaminants would be reddish indeed, though more of a light pink instead of a deep blood red.

        I suspect there would have been a lot more dust and rough surfaces just from the rugged nature of space itself, but those transparent crystals sure looked pretty.
