LD S3E10 “The Stars at Night”

On Tuesday, Jun 18, 2024, the #StarTrekHour community on Mastodon will discuss LD S3E10 “The Stars at Night” where the new automated ships turn on Starfleet. Special thanks to @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com, @CrypticMirror@mstdn.social, and anonymous for contributing discussion questions:

Q1: How do you imagine Picard recruited Petra for his Archaeology Adventure squad? @CrypticMirror@mstdn.social #StarTrekHour
Q2: Was it inevitable that the Texas-class AI becomes sentient and tries to destroy the Cerritos and the other ships? @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com #StarTrekHour
Q3: How many times now is Starfleet going to go through the whole automated ships/evil computer combination? Shouldn’t they have figured out it never ends well? @CrypticMirror@mstdn.social #StarTrekHour
Q4: How does Admiral Buenamigo compare to other “badmirals” we have met in the past like Admirals Pressman (TNG’s “The Pegasus”) and Doughtery (“Insurrection”) @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com #StarTrekHour
Q5: Does Beckett and Carol’s reconciliation at the end of the episode feel truly earned to you or not? @CrypticMirror@mstdn.social #StarTrekHour
Q6: With how many ships are in Starfleet and the thousands of crew members: Would one ship with its dysfunctional lower ranks and questionable actions stand out? (anonymous) #StarTrekHour
Q7: At the end of the episode, Ransom didn’t want to be Mariner’s mentor. Last season, when Freeman assigned Ransom to be Mariner’s supervisor, he wanted to do it. What caused his different reaction this time? @PeterTrek1@universeodon.com #StarTrekHour
