#STAR TREK VOYAGER SEASON 4 EPISODE 9 SERIES#

SpockвЂ™s strategy against Michael could be similar. Instead, Data just tries to stay in the game long enough. Further, SpockвЂ™s strange tactics against Michael Burnham could reference Data in The Next Generation episode вЂњPeak Performance.вЂќ In that story, Data plays a complicated game called Strategema, but he doesnвЂ™t play to win. However, by the time of the original series, Spock often plays chess to help him think. In this episode though, Spock scoffs at the idea of playing chess in the middle of a crisis. Like in the first episode of this season - вЂњBrotherвЂќ - 3D chess is a big part of Michael and SpockвЂ™s childhoods. This is mostly true, but in the Deep Space Nine episode вЂњA Call to Arms,вЂќ Captain Sisko does use mines to guard the entrance of the Bajoran wormhole. Pike makes a big deal over the fact that Section 31 is using space-borne mines to protect its base, and insinuates that using weapons like that is totally against StarfleetвЂ™s principles. And, everything that happens with Airiam in this episode starts to explain why.

By the time of The Next Generation, cybernetics is treated with a lot more skepticism than it is at this point in Discovery. Relevantly, Tilly and Detmer are totally comfortable with Airiam and Detmer even says вЂњthree cheers for cybernetics.вЂќ But. Still, androids existed in The Original Series, and as this episode makes clear, Airium is not вЂњhalf-robot,вЂќ but rather a human with cybernetic enhancement. The presence of Airiam - a cybernetically enhanced human - has always seemed a little strange to longtime Trek fans, only because this show takes place 100 years before fully-functional androids like Mr. The Vulcan language was invented by Marc Okrand, who is more famous for inventing the Klingon language for Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. The first time we heard the Vulcan language was in Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan when Spock spoke privately to his protГ©gГ©e, Saavik. When Spock and Michael are arguing in front of Stamets, Spock briefly speaks in Vulcan.

Subscribe Spock speaks the Vulcan language (Along with Seven of Nine and Naomi Wildman.) This is interesting only because Airiam is similar to the Borg insofar as she is a human that is enhanced by cybernetics. But, in the first episode featuring Kadis-kot, the players were children who were formally Borg drones. Starting with the episode вЂњInfinite Regress,вЂќ the colorful board game was seen being played by several members of the Voyager crew. This references Star Trek: Voyager in a huge way. The episode twice mentions a game called Kadis-kot. Detmer, and Burnham before Discovery was even on the air. Relevantly, Mack was also the author of the first Discovery novel, Desperate Hours, which established the backstories for Captain Georgiou, Lt. These books take place in the 24th century and are all about Julian Bashir (formerly of Deep Space Nine) and his involvement with Section 31. The concept of вЂњControlвЂќ being an A.I actually comes from Section 31 novels written by David Mack in 2017 respectively titled Disavowedand Control. Though this idea seems brand new, itвЂ™s actually not. called вЂњControlвЂќ has gone totally rogue and is running Section 31 without any biological lifeforms keeping it in check.

Obviously, a huge portion of вЂњProject DaedalusвЂќ is all about the fear that a huge A.I. In The Next Generation, both Picard and Data were able to do it, and in the first episode of Discovery, Burnham uses the nerve pinch on Captain Georgiou. But, despite its вЂњcolloquialвЂќ name, the Vulcan nerve pinch can be performed by people who arenвЂ™t Vulcans.

The first time Spock used this move was in The Original Series episode вЂњThe Enemy Within,вЂќ and the person Spock used it on was none other than the вЂњevil sideвЂќ of Captain Kirk. The concept for the Vulcan nerve pinch actually originated with Leonard Nimoy, who believed Spock would never act out of violence, and thus, needed a more peaceful way to disable people. Spock used the Vulcan nerve pinch a lot in the original series, but at this point in Trek history, we may be witnessing SpockвЂ™s first onscreen canonical use of the famous Vulcan disabling move. This fact was established in Season 1 and led many fans to believe Cornwell could become a character named Lethe, who appeared in the original series episode вЂњDagger of the Mind,вЂќ which was all about a Federation penal colony gone berserk. What casual viewers may have forgotten is that prior to becoming and Admiral, Cornwell was a counselor and therapist. When Admiral Cornwell secretly sneaks onto Discovery, her first task is to question Spock about his intentions.
