Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
“I was going to invite you to help,” Alpha considered. “You'll have to officially join the crew.”

“Of course.”


Nina followed Alpha into the Bridge. There were consoles along the walls with two behind and one in front of the Commander's Chair in the centre. “Efficient layout,” she stated.

“This is the Commander's chair, with the command consoles in the armrests,” Alpha said indicating said chair. She then pointed to the console in front. That is the Conn, also referred to as the Helm, where the ship is flown and the navigation systems accessed. Also the Pilot can engage the engines and choose the speed, Obviously.”

“That's obvious,” Nina said with a sigh. “But these other consoles?”

Alpha turned to the standalone consoles behind the Commander's Chair. “The console to starboard is the Tactical Console.”

It had been a long time since any Dúnedain had been to this valley. Halladin stopped. Anything could be there. Something seemed off. “What’s wrong?” his Second, Hurin, asked.

“Feels like something that shouldn’t be there is there,” Halladin answered.

Hurin nodded.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – Jake’s Challenge
Keiko O’Brien turned as she heard her name called. Jake Sisko had remained behind. “Yes?” she asked.

“I’m having trouble with the writing assignment,” Jake answered.

“What’s the problem?”

“The problem is, the target is too broad. I mean, write a story with a moral meaning. That could be anything.”

“So you want me to narrow the topic?” Keiko asked.

Season 2 Overall
While I did like this season better than season 1, I admit that it was a mess. Deep Space Nine season 1 was more consistent and better written, with Move Along Home (and potentially If Wishes Were Horses) being the outlier(s) there. (Clearly, I did a simultaneous re-watch, so as to compare the faith storylines. Terralysium vs. Bajor, but the series diverged. One can't compare CONTROL with the Dominion.) In any case, the faith-Red Angel storyline was convoluted, to say the least. The storylines in Doctor Who series 6 were easier to follow.
Then there's what happened with Spock and his relationship with Burnham. Unlike others I don't think his character was assassinated. It was expanded. More on that later. Then there's Pike and his fate, with If Memory Serves being the highlight there (as well as the season overall) rather than Through the Valley of Shadows. It's not all about Burnham. Talking about Michael, her plotline was interesting. It was good to see her working out how the overall scenario with the Red Angel and the signals.
There is also her family issues, not just with Spock, but also with Amanda and her actual mother, Gabriel. More on that below. The Tilly/May storyline may have gone over several episodes, but it seems to have been resolved in Saints of Imperfection. Still a bit unresolved. Then from that episode, it is replaced with the Stamets/Culbur storyline, which doesn't seem that realistic, beyond Culbur's identity struggles. Trying to squeeze too much into the storylines most likely. Of course there's Section 31 and their hubris leading to the situation with Control.
(Not outlined explicitly of course, just implicitly, and possibly by mistake). There's also the Klingon storyline. Not much to say about that. Anyhow, Spock. I wasn't sure what to make of the psychopathic implications to begin with, nor the dyslexia (the latter of which was probably not accurate from a human point of view. But who knows what the interaction with Vulcan traits could cause with such a disorder.) But more importantly, he's a younger Spock, who is still maturing. And he seems to be well on the way as the series end's.
(Clearly the implication is that Kirk replaces Burnham as his balance as that particular 5 year mission goes on.) Back to Burnham. Her trying to reconnect with her mother is what drives her as time goes on. Not only does she want to defeat CONTROL, she wants to reconnect with her mother. The events of Perpetual Infinity only serve to intensify that desire. There are many unresolved plot issues (not the least of which is Number One's name, possible subtitles aside), but overall a season worth watching, just not as good as a certain series of Star Trek produced in the 1990's.
7.68/10.

Displacement Events of 2018 and Beyond
13 April 2018
Everything was normal, but then something unusual happened. At 12:01 AM GMT, there was a flash of light in geostationary orbit, above the 0,0 coordinate. When the light vanished, there was a large structure in the orbital location that hadn't been there before.

Deep Space Nine
The station had gone to red alert as it detected a massive subspace distortion. “Report,” Captain Benjamin Sisko ordered.

“Unknown, sir,” Chief Miles O'Brien reported. “We're no longer in the Bajoran System.”
