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.
Nice episode, I was expecting a cliffhanger at the end showing what Pike was up to.
I am curious about the Lanthanites, I’ve had visitor before, like Guinan in 1890s, but a whole species living among side humans, maybe they don’t have a big population, I bet they could be the origin of many human myths. I wonder what was their reason.
Maybe It will help with Una’s trial, since both pretended to be humans.
Also, in TOS there was about an Immortal Human, maybe he was a Lanthanite and just didn’t know.
I am unsure how Lanthanites can have a distinct accent if they spent centuries successfully blending in, but I agree that it’s interesting.
Maybe they first arrived in Romania, centuries ago, or some such.
Then once Earth discovered Romanians (or whatever) are actually different species, it put a lot of things in perspective.
(like, the legends of vampires?)
@FormerGameDev I hope not. Romanians being another species is too close to pushing on bigotry against the Romani.
Romanians and Romani aren’t the same thing. But yeah, probably best not to imply that any human ethnicity are secret aliens.
@LibraryLass Yup I know but many don’t. Agreed.
Structural differences in their larynx, tongue, or lips seem likely.
Her accent is Dracula. She’s a vampire. 😊
