A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

    Having not seen the episode, do some people get spaced?
    If so, and assuming there isn’t any other shenanigans, you don’t need to worry about the cold. Space tends to be cold, but its also just barely even there. No air means no convection, and that means you’ll only get cold very slowly. Much too slowly for it to matter in this situation.
    Your biggest concerns are going to be preparation (don’t hold your breath!) and getting back to an atmosphere as soon as possible.

    The problem here is its kinda a meme. PIC S3 also did this, with Vadic, though she was a changeling.

      Yeah they did the cold thing. But it’s, like you said, a meme. Kinda like how there shouldn’t be sounds in space but they add it in. If they don’t add it in, the majority of viewers get confused.

        At least it making sound is kinda exciting and intuitive The coldness on the other hand is kinda unnecessary
