We discuss Discovery‘s “Project Daedalus”, including…
- Airiam’s history and fate
- BUT THE PACING
- the Short Trek “Calypso”
- artificial intelligence in Star Trek and real life
- (this is why Dr Soong couldn’t get funding)
- Anika will make you sympathise with Control
- RIP Admiral Patar, we hardly knew ye or your alleged extremism
- Admiral Cornwell, queen of our extremely biased hearts
Other media we found a way to make relevant:
- Solo: A Star Wars Story
- Droids in Star Wars generally, with particular attention to the Clone Wars arc “Downfall of a Droid”/”Duel of the Droids”
