    All I'm doing is sending shuttles. Didn't even "enter" the event, let alone read the narrative.

    Because she's a smarty pants full of good ideas.

    But mainly because I want copies of Mariachi Q, Tourist Quark, Graduation Burnham, Florist Q and Prisoner Burnham. On Monday, I'll only be two crew away from sweet, sweet dilithium.

    Agreed. This event makes no sense. Why would a version of Burnham that has no actual Starfleet experience be given this kind of authority?

    Burnham is cool. Graduation Michael didnt understand how cool she would become as Specialist Burnham with her sidekick Cadet Tilly. But if you dont like Disco then do the event for another Q and for a really good Quark. Or dont. More for me. :)x2nnaw6gsoxk.png

    Let’s fly!

    Don’t worry, I’m reasonably sure Tourist Quark will arrive to save the day in phase 2. Burnham may even see the folly of her misguided ways.
    This exactly. It's a perfect setup.

    Actually I think she might get jailed for it, becoming Prisoner, lol

    Here's hoping. I'm joining Bones' revolt.

    My favorite is that Bones agrees to stop being a doctor to join the anti-Burnham protest group.

    Burnham must pay for this sacrilege!!! I burn her effigy on a pire of horgahns...

    Actually I'd think that'd be an executable offense.

    Have you seen her fight, the others are too scared to argue. Even the Klingons are crying into their teddy bears.

    The whole thing is a practical joke by Burnham, part of the famous Vulcan sense of humour. They like to pretend they cannot lie, that they don't laugh or place cups of water on top of doors.

    Occasionally they play a practical joke, and when they do it's a very big one. When it's over the other species will be wondering what went on, sure in the knowledge that it was not the Vulcan because they think Vulcans cannot lie.

    Burnham will report to the high council, and they will have a snigger in the knowledge that they can play another practical joke in a few years, and they will never be suspected.

    I originally posted it as must DIE for this sacrilege in my fleet chat but was worried it would be changed to “must be *hugged tenderly... with her approval*” by the censors here... 😇

    Are we hating on Discovery?

    No. Just reading the mission descriptions and wondering why we're running around the galaxy forcing everyone to obey the random commands of Empress Michael the Infallible, Puppeteer of the Galaxy.

    I see where you went wrong. :p

    Yeah, I gotta admit the mission text has been especially dizzying for this event. Just one WTF? after another. Right now, I've got one team reassigning captains as junior officers because we need the manpower for the crisis; one reassigning admirals as yeoman because they're superfluous; one reviving the New Essentialists on Risa because Risa is useless; and a fourth separating reunited loved ones because Burnham is convinced their being together puts the galaxy at risk of new temporal disturbances.

    GO TO PROJECT GRADUATION AND TRY TO WIN A CAR LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, MICHAEL.

    I mean if Risa were a real place my CV would be in their inbox already, but we've seen what happens to people who don't cooperate with Burnham. I'll just be over here obeying orders and avoiding her ire until Quark comes out of the ready room behind her with a phaser and says "Don't you get tired of this happening?" because I've seen The Maquis, I know 'Quark schools Vulcans' is totally a thing.

    I'd watch a show where Nechayev was Kirk's yeoman.

    Am I the only one that finds this event's storyline incredibly ironic, and worth SERIOUS self-reflection by DB?!?

    Hmmm, let's see...some observing find it illogical that a group is focused solely on a celebration when there's a serious crisis all around being ignored? (take your pick...player relations crisis, brand crisis, communications crisis, CS crisis, etc.)

    DB sweeps all their failures and unanswered problems under the rug, turns on the party lights, and we're supposed to just forget everything and join the festivities?

    Despite the sentiment in this thread, I gotta say I very much empathize with Burnham...I feel it's painfully ironic and totally illogical for DB to just party on while never acknowledging the major (mostly self-inflicted) problems at hand.

    Not sure what ur personal health issues have to do with this topic?

    Or are you talking bout Discovery? DSC is the offical short term, or did any other Star Trek show had ST(Star Trek) as part of their shortterms? Any? TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, ENT, TAS?!

    This STD jokes are getting soo old and lame. Feels like kindergarten.

    Not sure why you think anything you say means anything to me. For the record... It doesn't. But clearly my words mean something to you otherwise you'd just scroll on by.

    PS It's "These STD jokes..." not "This STD jokes..."
