Wait, Kitty and Benson strolling together happily on the pier? Is she not suppose to be charged with at least trespassing and assault?

Shepherd: "You do this for me, and when those men come seeking revenge from you, I will be there. And so will the FBI." Gamal is an Egyptian who presumably does not reside in the United States permanently and whose relatives and friends mostly live in Egypt. What good can the FBI do to protect them? As well, what good can Shepherd the convicted felon help? Surely Gamal is not that stupid not to know that?

Well, I am disappointed with the time crystal. I always thought that Star Trek is a science fiction and whatever they do can be explained away by pseudo-science. Because of that, I was under the impression that whenever they do temporal movement in all series of Star Trek, it is because technology in the future allows people to manipulate space and time, in relation to relativistic physics. And now it turns out that it is because of this magical object, with no explanation. Watch all 5 seasons of Hell on Wheels. It was one of my favorite shows.

All the fake science talks is so hurtful as they make zero sense at all. And how does Gabrielle (Dr. Burnham) become an all-seing being? She is the only one in her time in the future. It is not like there is a history book that she can read. Next, the sphere data can be transferred, and by transferring it means that they are gone from Discovery's data repository. But they can not be deleted. That is not how data and database behave. Lastly, what happened with using the badge as communicator? Kirk and his crew did not use it. They used the clamshell communicator instead. Or is it Section 31-only technology that was kept hidden until Picard's time? I am getting weary with Michelle Yeoh simply because I know that she will have her own show later. Just a little bit of her is better IMHO as we are getting the full serving later.

It could be that TPTB for whatever reason likes Sara Mitich. When they planned to kill Airiam they kept her by recasted her to Nilsson and then offered Hannah Cheesman a specific and limited contract only up to Airiam's death.

My question to this affair with the Whisperers: why did they not cross path with the Saviors / Negan before? The Saviors were more dominating, ruthless and less forgiving than the four communities. Negan would have wiped the floor - or at least attempted to - with them. As well, they survive all these years as a group simply by being nomad? Gathering and scavenging along they way? They do not eat what the Guardians eat, so how do they sustain that community? Regarding Siddiq:

I think Maggie's matters relate directly to Lauren Cohan and Whiskey Cavalier. Maybe when S8 was written she was not yet committed there and by the time S9 started filming she was already busy. As Whiskey Cavalier was a new show with unknown fate - I for one am done with it - TPTB needed to have room for Cohan's return.

After being disappointed by Enemy Within and Whiskey Cavalier, I had high hopes for this show. Sadly, I do not think it is not meant to be. The story does not really work for me and the background music IMHO is annoying. Nitpick: so Maya left LA 6 years ago and her house is left empty yet remains in serviceable condition? She must be very rich to be able to pay taxes, maintenance and utilities for an unused property in the city.

Which is worse, actually. An officer to billet with a convicted felon that has been stripped of her rank?

So the episode ended with a feel good story that Knox needed Mr. Garcia as a witness as Knox rescinded the plea deal agreement with the defendant. But what about the defendant? The assistant U.S. Attorney reneged on a plea deal made on good faith for reason not related to the defendant? How was that fair?

Completely out of topic, but I just realize that Burnham, a Commander, a Senior Officer, billets with Tilly, an Ensign, a very Junior Officer. Maybe nothing is wrong with that for that era but it is just strange if one reflects to the navies of today.

There goes my three-episode trial. Plotholes and nonsense and it is not even funny. I'm outta here. Ciao!

Thank you for your explanation even if it makes me confused even more. My point is that Fiona basically started with nothing, $0 equity. Let us say that the house had some equity and some mortgage. And now she ended up with full equity of the house and $100k. How did she earn that much of money in such a short period of time? Even if she was successful in flipping and renting, she still needed capital.

Guess I did not pay much of attention of the details in this show. So let me get this straight. Fiona got Max to pay off the home and now she netted $100k on top of that? All for several months to a year of owning the apartment building? So basically Max paid Fiona for her share of the partnership and now he bought her off that partnership?

Did Fiona own all of that $100k? My understanding was that she took mortgage on the house to get the down payment to buy the apartment building. Did she earn that $100k cleanly or is she still leveraged? If she did not earn that $100k cleanly then she left the family with a time bomb, regardless that she spared them the extra $50k. This matter with Lip and Tami seemed so one-sided. Did biological father not have any say in the fate of the child? Could he not sue her for keeping the baby and not to have abortion or adoption?

How was that a self defense? The wife picked the pistol up, pointed it to her unarmed husband and shot him without any clear indication that her life was in immediate danger. The four FBI agent attested that it was indeed a self defense without being in the room during the build up of the shooting. Or did all of them just give false testimony?

For me Foley is always 'Cool Breeze'. And of course, Jennifer Garner's ex-husband in real life.

I know that this show is supposed to be comedy or whatever, but it assumes real-life conditions and so there are major holes that I can not ignore. An orderly in Germany who does not speak German at all and that does not raise any kind of suspicion? Retinal scan works by identifying blood capillaries structures in the eye. As dead people do not have blood flowing, retinal scan does not work on dead eye. The vault leads to an array of safe deposit boxes. So Pappas and her husband are the only two people who has access to all of those boxes? Nobody else? And yeah, what kind of design is that that the vault can be overridden with water? Ray brings an American whiskey to Czech Republic only to have the team drinks it back in the United States?

Cruz disabled it.

Sorry for the very late reply but Roddenberry can not be spinning. He was cremated and some of his ashes were sent to space.

How long has it been since the zombie apocalypse? Ten years, perhaps? It is amazing that after all that time Luke is still unable to defend himself against walkers, and is still alive. Has his group been carrying him all around?

(...) Never mind.

Just like in The Orville, I also need to ask why Tilly's favorite song is something from 300 years before her time. Would we sing or hum a song from 1719? Did you watch The Brightest Star? It is an episode of Star Trek: Short Treks. That episode is Saru's origin story. The Ba'ul are (supposedly) real and Kelpiens are indeed taken by an allegedly Ba'ul spaceship. With that, based on that short episode and this, I am wondering about Saru. He comes from a relatively primitive civilization. Within relatively short time, not only that he is able to master the complex science and technology of space travel, he also manages to navigate a Starfleet career and to climb up the rank to become a Commander? In that short time?

I do not know if it was canon but in one of Chris Reeve's (RIP) Superman movies he had a mild glamour ability in that he was able to make Lois forget about their encounter. YMMV, of course. I should have written this last week, but it is also valid for this episode. In season 1, Martian Manhunter stated that mind wipe was a very dangerous and very intrusive procedure and he was very, very reluctant to do so. IIRC, not only that it could cause permanent memory loss for other events than the target, but might also cause permanent neurological damage. And here he wiped the minds of several DEO employees.

Disclaimer: I am not trying to be patronizing nor condescending or being personal. I am merely stating the fact. It is obvious that you have no exposure to military discipline and that is fine. However, what happens in this situation is military men openly defying legal orders of superior officers. That by itself is a great violation of military discipline. FWIW the CO of the Washington, does not do crappy job. He does what his commission demands him to do, making difficult decision and having his subordinates follow through with his order. As for being dispassionate, CAPT Edwards does exactly the right thing, removing emotion from the equation. Just a point of clarification. CMDCM (I think) Wilke is not the XO. He is the COB and he is at the same pay grade as SOCM Hayes. He has no chain of command over Bravo Team.
