I must say, I enjoyed this season of SFA more than any season of SNW so far and I thought this particular episode was excellent. I was kind of bummed by the explanation of why Discovery couldn’t jump with the spore drive, but was ecstatic to see her in the last few minutes of the episode (when the kids are standing by the window overlooking the fleet).

I can not wait until season 2.

    I loved this episode and the season in general , but I must disagree.

    I felt like they respected their audience too much to leave us with freezer thoughts like “what about disco’s magic mushroom warp?”

    Let me rephrase that, the explanation was solid. I was just sad they weren’t able to show up. If I remember correctly they even mentioned in discovery that the mycelial network was connected to subspace.

    unfortunately they need to make sure they explain why discovery is not there every single time because if not a bunch of losers would review bomb it

    Yeah, I can believe that. I was sad that we didn’t get a Burnham/Discovery cameo that was a part of the action, but I also understand that Academy is its own show and doesn’t need that to be good. Just a Discovery fan here dreaming of seeing them in action again.
