Star Trek: Discovery: That Hope Is You, Part 1
October 15, 2020 8:35 AM - Season 3, Episode 1 - Subscribe
[Season premiere] It's 3188, and Burnham shows up from the 23rd century, but where's everybody else?
As before with new episodes, the Memory Alpha entry is still sparse, so I'll fill in with a few bits that I observed:
- With her appearance in this episode, Sonequa Martin-Green becomes the only cast member of the series to appear in every episode.
- Although Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, and Mary Wiseman are credited in the opening title sequence, their characters do not appear in the episode. This is the first episode of the series to not feature Saru.
- David Ajala (Cleveland "Book" Booker) is also known for playing Manchester Black in season 4 of Supergirl, and has also appeared on stage with Sir Patrick Stewart and David Tennant in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
- Adil Hussain (Aditya Sahil) has appeared in English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Norwegian and French films, including a number of Bollywood productions.
"Hope is a powerful thing."
"Sometimes it's the only thing."
"Our numbers are few, our spirit is undiminished."
- Aditya Sahil and Michael Burnham
Poster's Log:
So, it's the great leap forward, so to speak, and one that had been previewed sufficiently that the setting and most of the new dramatis personae weren't that much of a surprise, but there are still some big revelations in store in this season premiere, and promises of more to come, even as we are treated to some familiar science fiction tropes. People who have criticized DIS in the past for being excessively focused on Burnham, unlike the more ensemble-minded treatment of the cast in series past, will no doubt focus on the fact that she's now the only one of the main cast to appear in every episode since she's the only one to appear in this one, but that's something that the episode works to its advantage; Burnham's desperation and despair at the unknown fate of Discovery and her crew is palpable, and her working with, then against, then again with Book (and later Sahil) parallels her getting to know the Discovery crew, and negotiating her relationship with them in the context of her radically altered status, at the beginning of S1. She gets to briefly tour a standard-issue hive of scum and villainy, gets high on space truth serum, and gets an even briefer tour of the inside of a trance worm, aka Molly. Thanks to the preview at the end of this ep, we know that she will be reunited with what looks like most if not all of the crew (including Mirror-Georgiou), as well as picking up a newcomer or two; thanks to other previews (and the season's iconic graphic), we know that at some point enough time will have passed for her hair to grow out a lot. That's about all we really know about her and them at this point, since I think that most of the preview stuff was covered in this ep.
As for the 32nd century setting... still big mysteries there. Two main things seemed to have happened:
- The Burn: most of the galaxy's dilithium went poof, somehow, although there are still a few scraps available. There are also hints of other methods; i.e. the quantum slipstream drive which was first seen in VOY's "Hope and Fear", although their own attempt at using it didn't go well. If it turns out to be tricky (as it did for the Voyager crew), that might explain why the Federation didn't just use it instead. Discovery's mycelial drive may end up being the solution to all that.
- The Temporal Wars, which may be related to ENT's Temporal Cold War; time travel is forbidden. (Which doesn't mean that it's not possible, of course.) This may be yet another thing keeping the crew from figuring out what to do with the Sphere Data and going back home. It also explains what happened to all the groovy ships and tech that we saw from the 29th (VOY) and 31st (ENT) centuries, although there are plenty of other new toys.
That seems to leave the sort of very mercenary, nobody's-really-in-control situation in the ass-end of the Delta Quadrant that Voyager landed in, where it seems like everyone is trying to steal everyone else's stuff. Although the Andorians and Orions are finally getting along, so there's that.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased, and am looking forward to the rest of the season. It's kind of a Crapsack Galaxy, as far as we can tell, but there are still glimmers of hope: Book's secret mission, and Sahil, Prophets bless him, holding his lonely vigil. And, of course, someone now to raise the flag.

Good ep. Great cinematography. But it feels a little out-of-character for Burnham to be poofing people with a gun with NO reaction at all.

I was interested in the politics of thinking about the Federation in terms of nostalgia. Because if the Federation has been broken up for over a century, things will have shifted and altered, quite possibly irrevocably; why not aim for something else? (Obviously, there's optimism there, but also perhaps a commentary on people's attachment to previous incarnations of ST...) The Andorians allying with the Orions seems like a case in point.
Will this season match up with Book's Short Trek? The time frame for the ship's evolution now seems off, unless there's another weird temporal anomaly coming down the hatch.
I liked that the scenario of all the dilithium going kaflooey did not result in catastrophic loss of tech more generally--really long-range travel is obviously out, but the new gadgets were all logical extensions of previous tech.

The character in "Calypso" is Craft, played by Aldis Hodge. Different character and actor.

Whoops, the perils of remembering an episode without going back to double-check!
Timeframe is still weird, I think?
I've been thinking about this. Zora says that she's been abandoned for almost a thousand years... isn't it possible that that didn't happen until after Discovery traveled to the 32nd century? There's nothing in the dialog to indicate they're NOT in the 5th millenium.
Actually, watching "Calypso" again now... I'm putting money on just that. And "V'draysh", Craft's enemies who prize "relics from long ago", is a mangled pronunciation for "Federation". (And, I see that Memory Alpha says that, yes, that's the case, confirmed by Michael Chabon hisownself)
So, yeah, "Calypso" is still centuries away.
I enjoyed the episode, despite not being enamoured of the Federation's destruction now being canon. At least it was not a loss of ideals that cause it, just a highly improbable event making all antimatter reactors explode.

My reactions, as the show unfolded. "Wow, this is going to be Andromeda but done right... no, now this episode really wants to be Star Wars... whoops, we just swerved into Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid... OK, so it thinks it is Free Willy... and now we wrap up with a big dose of Batman Begins."
I am looking forward to next week.

Season 3 review at Ars Technica:
Discovery has new blood at the off-screen helm as well as at the on-screen helm, and it shows. In short: season 3 is absolutely Star Trek in the classic mold, where problems can be solved, where diplomacy can reign, where clever Starfleet officers can think their way out of any trap, and where the Federation and its ideals are Good, Actually, for this fallen world.
CBS provided reviewers with advance screeners of the first four episodes, and each of those episodes follows a startlingly familiar format for Next Generation fans of old: there is an A plot, on the planet of the week, and a B plot, usually among the crew. These conflicts arise, are explored, and are largely completed by the end of the hour, freeing the Discovery to visit a new world and start all over again next week.

I find the situation supremely salient;how the Federation is considered a historical era, after mostly ending from a black swan event. I think that this is "far future" science fiction done deftly, and is super cool starting to explore the depths that an eon of time takes.
But I'm interested in the rise and falls of empires in general.
The set design is lovely; humans still apparently appreciate wood grain.
hanov3r "V'draysh" ... is a mangled pronunciation for "Federation".
That is so freaking cool. Deft. Stealing a little from V'ger, though. Evolution of languages is fascinating (qv Belter in 'The Exapanse'); the ubiquity - and variable quality (I like Mr.Encyclopedia's conjecture in the ST:LD thread about the quality of universal translators gives rise to the Pakled misunderestimation) - has got to mess with that.
This is science fiction; the previous Treks are more-or-less space-flavoured fantasy.
I really hope they keep it up.
Nitpick - it feels like energy densities in general went way up. If that's the case, why still the reliance on dilithium (which is used because of its energy density)? Is it an allegory for petroleum - because that's what's been in use, there's existing infrastructure, and generally "easier?"
Also, Michael's sneakers look super this season. I'd wear Book's home planet-side leather jacket in a heartbeat.
Book's a little too good to be true...

Holy shit I just watched this and I am 110% excite! Wow. Absolutely excellent TV, and sci-fi at that. Love seeing Star Trek bent into the far future where they can do nutech and have fun with it. Love the idea of the Federation being a Lost Civilization, the remnants of Rome, with some true believers scattered about. Love Ajala in this. That actor is hot, and instant chemistry with Michael, and I'm a sucker for a Han Solo type and all I want is more of him and his cat-who's-clearly-not-just-a-cat.
They planted so many new ideas in this one episode I'm not sure they can even pay them off. What's with his religion? His language? With the cat? With the Federation? With the Burn? With the Orion + Andromedan syndicate? No mention of Klingons or Romulans or Vulcans or Cardassians at all, that seems ominous. The collapse of civilization, the fragmentation of trade and communciation networks. It's a trope but not a very well explored one and it promises a lot of possibilities.
I also like this episode is 100% Burnham. We know the rest of the cast is returning, there's no secret the Discovery is out there somewhere. But right now we have no idea where, or when, or what peril is involved. A true moment of anticipation, at least for those of us who managed to avoid any spoilers in the interim.
Sonequa Martin-Green is a hell of an actress to pull this off. Very excited about David Ajala too.

Dilithium isn't a fuel, but a way to contain antimatter and manage antimatter reactions. It doesn't need to explode to be a problem.

Dilithium isn't a fuel
Ah, I see. Structured (? hence the recrystalizers and whatnot) dilithium is like a dampener for matter/antimatter energy production?
So the analogy is that fission nuclear power went kablooey because the physics of a crucial containment element stopped being (the same) predictable?
I remember ST:TNG saying that (conventional) warp drive was causing environmental damage (fabric of space-time), and that the Federation made a warp 5 speed limit or something. But then the whole idea was discarded (or there was a tweak to warp drives to fix the thing; leaded gasoline --> unleaded; but it's still burning hydrocarbons).
But what about warp capable stakeholders who didn't care about Federation or "environmental" regulations?
Dilithium no longer works reliably along major space lanes now? Wow - downfall (and rise) of empires all over again; catastrophic trade route disruptions, not to mention general communications (a requirement for cultural hegemony).

I watched, and enjoyed the episode, the premise is good. I think it'll be enjoyable.
But with that caveat out of the way....
There seem to be a core of Star Trek writers who don't want to write star trek.
This, and Picard (and actually lower decks in a way re: Mariner) have all had a theme of Star Fleet/Federation is something distant or other or even bad.
I'm happy that there are shows outside of the TNG/DS9/VOY context. It's good. But I still hanker for a classic competence porn noble traditions of Star Fleet and the Federation type show.

Agreed. I was actually surprisingly underwhelmed by this one—especially surprising considering I avoided most of the previews. Not that it wasn't a solid and continually-engaging hour of television, but like, something about its "setup" nature made a lot of this feel slightly rote to me.
That said, I also agree with this:
The collapse of civilization, the fragmentation of trade and communciation networks. It's a trope but not a very well explored one and it promises a lot of possibilities.
I could see this season being pretty bold and quite possibly DISCO's best—very likely DISCO's most even season.
the Federation made a warp 5 speed limit or something. But then the whole idea was discarded (or there was a tweak to warp drives to fix the thing; leaded gasoline --> unleaded; but it's still burning hydrocarbons).
Yeah, the (possibly not-completely-canon) explanation is that the Intrepid-class (Voyager's class) introduced some form of SubSpaceSafe TechnologyTM in its warp engines.
A very very good question. That could be a whole season-long story arc on, say, Lower Decks: the Orion Syndicate is flagrantly ignoring what is likely an interstellar law, some manner of subspace creatures in the vicinity are about to wage war on ALL of normal space as a result, and Tendi's loyalties are tested.
Me too. And that's gotta be the plan for Strange New Worlds.

I think the Federation skepticism comes from the US experience of governmental authority. On the right, they see overreach and incompetence; on the left we see corruption and rising fascism. Gene Roddenberry and his audience were beneficiaries of the New Deal. Maybe we need a Star Trek series made in Norway to get that old Federation feel again.

That's a pretty good point.
Previous Trek has always been made when the US is on the up.
The difference between Trek and classic UK science fiction is pretty stark. The UK was still bleak post war, post empire kind of place. Our Sci Fi reflected that. (Blake's 7, Judge Dredd/2000AD etc.)
So maybe that explains a bit the way Trek seems to be going.
Scandinavian Trek would be great!

I really liked the worldbuilding and I loved the last five minutes. That scene signaled good things in store. I really dug that cultist's vibe. I'm gonna love it if Burnham keeps enlisting a bunch of people who still believe in the Federation but they're all quasi-religious QAnon types.
But most of the episode I found cringy. And I really like the first two seasons and was hyped for this one! It oscillated between very boring murderous action scenes and wildly hammy acting. Why is Burnham so chin-quiveringly astounded that the Federation no longer exists after 1000 years? It's 1000 years! 1000!
The episode had a real Star Wars vibe, I thought. Conversations between English-speakers and subtitled aliens, ships whizzing through space densely packed with debris, cities of a ridiculously unreal scale, stormtrooper gunfights, bounty hunter space pirates, quiet awe in the Force when that guy grew a plant, and cartoon physics (Burnham's body crashing that ship was just too much).
I'm really not a fan of Burnham just evaporating people and showing no remorse. She's the one who escalated things to killing! She was arrested and it looked like she could have talked her way out of it. But instead she teamed up with the guy who betrayed her for basically no reason and stole a gun.
It would've been funny if she took the same approach to him that she did to all the Morns and green Kyle McLachlan and just decided to waste him when he first became a threat, phasering him dead when he threw his first knife at her. But he's a protagonist, not some nameless alien, so she'll bother to use words on him instead.

I think they recognized the stoic vibe wasn't working for viewers so they are trying to compensate/calibrate it right now.
I got teary with the emotional impact and facial acting of the guy who had been waiting for them though. Blown away.

I also didn't like the repeated joke of Burnham sucker-punching Book in the face just because she was mad at him. It's the kind of casual violence that TV has completely normalized but Trek has always avoided. It's impossible to imagine Geordi or Riker decking someone because they felt betrayed.
(What other Trek character would be most likely to do that? Kira? Archer? Sisko? I still find it kind of hard to imagine any of them tossing away their dignity like that. Sisko punched Q, but that was in a boxing ring, and it was Q. Even Worf would just loudly complain about his injured honor.)

Worf to Sisko: "The next time, do not strike me with the back of your hand. Use your fist!"
It's worth noting that, in the scene above, Worf is instructing Sisko on the difference between a regular punch and a backhand strike according to Klingon courtesy; like so many other things in Klingon society, it's very ritualized. (Riker does much the same thing when he's doing the officer exchange on the Bird of Prey and gets into it with Klag.) While Burnham is obviously mad at Book, I think that she's also establishing that she's not physically intimidated by Book, and won't put up with whatever other bullshit he's got planned. (I just rewatched S1E3, "Context is for Kings", and Burnham likewise gets into it with her three fellow prisoners in Discovery's mess hall, not just in self-defense but apparently to establish to everyone else just what she will and won't put up with, no matter how penitent she feels.)

Note that the Federation isn't totally gone. Sahil's scan shows two Federation ships within 600 ly, which suggests a pretty moribund state but he doesn't seem surprised at the finding (i.e. he was not expecting there to be zero).

I agree that Burnham being so punchy-shooty here is a bit much, and has a whiff of network insistence to it, but I can also think of a couple of mitigating factors w/r/t it being in-character or not for Burnham:
1- In the early scenes, after she realizes her ship didn't join her in the thirty-second century but before she even knows there's another ship nearby, there's a brief montage that seems (to my eyes anyway) to show her going through some pretty hardcore Stages of Space Grief, and before long she has a blank, "NOTHING MATTERS ANYMORE" sort of demeanor. Such an ordeal could very well induce a bit of lashing-out.
2- After meeting Book and getting a quick sense of this trading post, I think even I would be sharp enough to recognize that any problem-solving I'm called upon to do is gonna require some real "frontier diplomacy" in lieu of Kirk speeches.
I was pleased to get to the end of the episode and realize that I didn't see a single white character the whole hour. There were some white actors, but no white characters I can recall (recap notwithstanding). Well done.

She just went through a cataclysmic space battle, left her entire reality behind, went through a wormhole, smashed into a ship and crashed into a planet, got injured, discovered she managed to save every living thing in the galaxy, found out her entire civilisation/guiding philosophy died out, then got betrayed and, oh yes, drugged!.
It's hardly surprising that she's a bit emotional and punchy.

This one surprisingly got me in the feels. The plot that landed us here is frankly one of the most absurd things that Trek has ever done, but the actors completely and thoroughly sold it.
A lot happens in this episode, and it's saying something that it was also one of the most restrained and well-paced episodes of DISCO to date. Let's not forget that DSC's pilot episode contained more plot than the first three seasons of TNG combined. Every indication seems to be that the showrunners are going to slow things down this season. Thank f—ing god.
The 'hive of scum and villainy' immediately screamed Star Wars (in a way that didn't seem bad or good, as much as it was unnecessary). I'd love to see more downwell action on DISCO, but I sincerely hope that it isn't all like this.
(Hey! Wanna bet that Book's Jedi Powers are somehow related to mycelium?)
The dilithium shortage is going to become DISCO's version of VOY's "32 torpedoes" problem, isn't it?
Cinematography was great – the outdoor scenes were unbelievably gorgeous, and left me wanting more. The portable transporters go "boop" in an extremely satisfying way.
Have we talked about the costuming? The costuming is extremely good.
This episode does not pass the Bechdel test, but it also might be the first Trek episode that features exactly zero white dudes in speaking roles.
Grudge is 10/10. Would hold.

As usual, I will apparently be reporting the view from the Mirror Universe on this episode, because I thought it was awful. Just, absolutely awful.
Book was such a paint-by-numbers Science Fiction Rogue that I was able to predict all of his actions from miles away. (Even though the first thing he does is try to beat her brains out with a wrench, we know he actually has a heart of gold because he loves animals! But nonetheless he will betray her! For no reason whatsoever other than that saying, "No, the tricorder won't be enough by itself, you'll need to throw in something else" is apparently too hard!)
Why did they walk all the way to the Mercantile when he had a personal transporter the whole time? What was up with the completely casual murder of all those poor guards just doing their job? Why didn't the vault have any signs saying, "Vault! Keep out!" (especially when the episode later established that English is a language in common use for some reason.) Why did everything look like a Star Wars set?
And why the heck am I supposed to believe that the guy pointlessly cosplaying Deep Space Nine on a deserted space station for decades -- doing nothing but waiting for a representative of a government that hasn't existed for over a century to walk through the door -- is some kind of starry-eyed idealist rather than an utterly sad and pathetic loser?

As pointed out, er, nine comments above this one, it does exist, at least in some form. We have exactly one episode's worth of offhanded references so it is folly to speculate on how diminished it is, but let's please stick with what the show tells us.

Hopefully not, in the sense that I hope that they don't end up just handwaving it away with the random discovery (heh) of the Flibbertigibbet Dilithiumizer that acts as a big ol' reset button. I'm still thinking that it will be something involving the mycelial drive, which would open up all sorts of other possibilities and avenues of exploration.
I though S1 had potential and S2 was dreadful so this came as a pleasant surprise. I tend to agree that Burnham went shooty too quickly but she's done that before. I didn't like the repeated punching thing either, it felt like it was supposed to be a joke but it didn't come off. Plot wise though, much stronger, looked great, scenes with federation guy were good, the new tech was well done. I'm hopeful. The only thing i didn't like was the Andorian/Orion get up, looked horrible. Worse than the make up on Enterprise.

If you want to have the first episode of your season that's set in 3188 AD have a higher on-screen bodycount than most entire seasons of Star Trek previously, in order to set a baseline for just how grimdark things have become in the absence of the Federation, that's fine with me. If you want to have a traumatized, shell-shocked, drugged-out Burnham get trigger-happy as well, that's fine too (you're rolling back a lot of her character arc from S1, but that's okay! People regress, especially under incredible stress and in the absence of their support network).
But if you want to do those things and then spend the last five minutes setting up Burnham as the torchbearer (no Klingon cultural reference intended) for the ideals of the Federation and the Great Hope For the Future, you're definitely kind of mixing your messages there. I loved the last scene, don't get me wrong - thought it was incredibly affecting. (I don't know that I've seen Adil Hussain in anything before, but wow, he was awesome.) But Burnham in that scene felt very much at odds with Burnham in the entire rest of the episode in ways that didn't feel intended-by-the-writers to me. This seasons's got potential, but they're going to have either restrain their impulse towards making Burnham into Space Rambo, or they're going to have to restrain their impulse to put her up there on a pedestal as the Exemplar of Federation Ideals, one or the other.
Also my ongoing beef with Disco continues to be the lack of a science advisor presence or any attempt to make the made-up science sound even faintly sensible/believable/consistent. Having all the dilithium just spontaneously *poof* may be an interesting premise for the setting, but it doesn't do any favors for a show which has had past issues with treating things like dark matter and fungi as though they are literally just plot-advancing magic, unbound by any sort of rules or consistency.

At first, yes, and I found myself counseling patience at myself. Where I warmed to him was when it became clear that he wasn't just a Space Rogue but a multiclassed Space Rogue/Space Druid, and I'm always a sucker for improbable multiclass pairings.

Well, it's not as if there isn't a lot of prior art for someone who may have fallen from grace to some degree who gets nominated to be the great hope of the future, by circumstance or by someone who can't see how far they've fallen, and their character arc is precisely that they grow (or grow back) into that role. Coincidentally, I was just thinking about Galaxy Quest yesterday, and that's Jason Nesmith's arc--he was never that guy, but has to be. (It's also an interesting contrast to Burnham's S1 arc, where she's working on Discovery under the shadow of being considered literally the worst person in the Federation.)

So something I've been noticing lately - anecdotally, sure, but it seems pretty broad - is that over the last year, a lot of series I've been watching have been kind of adjusting their racial romantic pairing assumptions. Like - there have in the past just not been a lot of black men in romantic lead roles. Over the last year, a lot of shows I've watched have been very much changing that, ending relationships and starting new ones or what have you, to place men of color and specifically black men into romantic leads. And I think they're doing that in this one, with Burnham. So I think actually it is significant that they put Book, as a black man, into the paint-by-numbers Science Fiction Rogue Romantic Hero role. That they're giving a black man a role as the Han Solo of the series. So at least for me, I really liked it. I liked that they gave him the cheesy meet-cutes, the sexy-eye-candy shots. Yes, it was cliched, but I think it was cliched for a purpose, and if I'm reading it right, I like that purpose.

Except he's only posing as a rogue. Unlike Han Solo, he's not out for just himself. He has a cause, and he's prosecuting it with limited resources. He just doesn't want to get caught up in someone else's drama - not because he has no interest in helping, but because he's desperate and on a strict timeframe.

I wonder if the showrunners remembered that Romulan ships are powered by artificial singularities rather than dilithium-moderated matter/antimatter reactions.

Memory alpha confirms Romulan ships are powered by something completely different. I'm not normally one to nerd out too much about tech continuity and consistency in Star Trek, but that particular fact seems hugely important. If all your fuel regulator blew up wouldn't there be a huge rush to some alternate technology? And there's one working already, in one of the major empires. The Romulans would obviously start with a leg up but everyone else would copy it soon. It seems an inevitable part of the history.
I wonder if the Disco writers just are going to ignore it? It seems unlikely they all collectively just forgot about Romulan tech if it's right there in fan's memories and on Memory Alpha. Reddit discussion has a few folks also talking about how the Romulans have a different power source. I guess they could just retcon it all by informing us that Romulans used a different fuel but also needed dilithium as the regulator.
Another dumb idea I bring back from Reddit; it's gonna turn out that it's called "The Burn" because it was caused by Burn-ham. Hold the door for that prediction.

Season 4 officially confirmed.
Also, WRT the Romulan thing: maybe they hadn't used singularity drives in a while, maybe having to do with the Hobus supernova? We'll probably find out something in episode 7, which will be called "Unification III" and is presumed to be a sequel/continuation of the "Unification" two-parter from TNG, which involved Spock trying to reconcile the Romulans and Vulcans.

The implication of dilithium failing is that all of a sudden all the antimatter in the federation was no longer separated from regular matter, not just a power outage, but every reactor making a big boom. Every starship, base, and probably large city would stop existing as connected molecules.

!!!!! Holy shit, dude, I thought you were wryly joking at first, but yes, there it is on MA: "Unification III". Brilliant idea.
And w/r/t Hobus: unless I'm missing something, Burnham is in Prime-Timeline 3188, which means Spock vanished into the past and never came back, and the Romulan Empire might very well be in utter ruins. Or it could just as easily be ascendant, being the only game in town for non-dilithium-based long-distance travel?
!!!!! And I just remembered talk that the writers of PIC (which involved Romulans quite heavily) were indeed coordinating with the writers of DISCO. Hmmmm!

I've been watching Star Trek since the mid 1970s. I guess there's a kind of pessimism and fatigue that occurs when you've seen a clever idea strung along for decades. This show did not impress or excite me. Honestly, it seemed like someone fed some recent SF scripts into an AI network and this episode came out. Why does nothing make sense in science fiction scripts anymore?
Burnham collides with a planet, can barely move, recites her Federation serial number (That's the thing that inspires her to move forward!?), and soon after is doing Kung Fu acrobatics. I mean, cause and effect is a pretty basic concept. She could have wisecracked, "Give me a break, I just fell onto a planet!" before fighting or something. Or rubbed her bruises Jackie-Chan style.
I feel sorry for people tuning in and watching the show cold. There was no exposition and precious little story. OMG, Orions working with Andorians! So? Why is that a big deal again? I get it, but most people will not. How about introducing some new aliens rather than re-treading the old less-interesting ones? I guess, over a thousand years, phasers evolve into virtual fist-puncher things? Burnham understands the controls on a ship 1000 years more advanced than the Discovery somehow, despite the fact that the controls are just sort of digital sand that isn't doing much at that moment?
And what about that dude who was sitting there for 40s years, doing nothing apparently? Do you really want that guy on your team? I mean, talk about lack of initiative. He had to wait around for someone to show up from 1000 years ago who knows literally nothing useful just to get him out of his chair. Jesus, you've been sitting there for 40 years, put the Federation flag up already, you worthless bureaucrat!
And the episode really didn't make the case that the Federation even needs to be re-established. So, what is the threat they are facing in the future? Commerce? Over-fishing? I don't know!
Positives: liked the location shooting, Sonequa Martin-Green's earnestness.

Who, pray tell, is tuning in to watch the 3rd season of a serialised narrative show cold?
Me. I saw about ten minutes of the pilot and that was it, completely missed the rest of season 1 and all of season 2. I have watched some Youtube clips. That being said, I'm familiar with ST lore form other shows, so words like "transporter" and "Federation" fill in a lot of info for me.

I mean, if you don't mind the closest thing to a government being a bunch of murderhoboes who apparently do nasty things with sentient beings (i.e. the trance worms), then I guess not. Book's job would be a lot easier with some sort of halfway-decent local governing authority, and then there's the possibility of a strongly-hegemonic power like the Borg or the Dominion showing up out of nowhere, in which case it's a little late to organize for the common defense.

The thing that bugged me was Burnham's "that's impossible, the federation is forever" bit, when in her time the federation was less than a century old. A more logical reaction might have been "holy shit, the federation lasted for 800 years? that rules!"
honestly it'd be like if a US Civil War veteran had traveled to the TNG era and been like "what do you mean, America isn't a country anymore?"
posted by Jon_Evil at 6:27 PM on October 22, 2020 [10 favorites]
Well, consider that your Civil War veteran has just fought the bloodiest war in American history (at least in terms of American casualties) to preserve that Union, and probably knows a popular song that, while not officially the national anthem, is widely known and assumes the existence of the Union in the form of a rhetorical question, and, as with the Federation of Burnham's time (and well beyond that, although we don't know if that continued all the way up to PIC), that union is still expanding. England and France have both existed for many centuries, even if their borders and forms of governance have shifted greatly.
Something else, too: we don't know for a fact that America isn't a country any more; there's a United Earth government, but the status of individual nations hasn't been determined. It probably isn't a sovereign nation as we understand it. Technically, the Federation still exists, too, it's just not what it used to be.
I had the same thought, but given Burnham's unique background, it kind of makes sense to me on a characterization level that she might be a more hardcore UFP evangelist than is typical in Starfleet. Like, Reno probably would've said exactly what you proposed, had she been in that situation.

I recently learned (possibly from metafilter somewhere) about the anti-viral Ritonavir which was pulled from the market temporarily after a previously unknown crystallization form with less desirable properties. Exposure to any amount of the form II crystals would cause all the form I crystals to convert, which made it impossible to rebuild production of the original form.
So my current headcannon for the Burn is that a new, more stable form of dilithium crystals got made somehow, and that new form a) didn't work for warp drives and b) started infecting any "working" dilithium that it came into contact with. But space is big and air-gapped, and also when the warp core goes boom it destroys *most* of the bad form, which is how any "working" dilithium still survives.
Probably not where they're going with this, but it would be a good way to back it with some real science.
posted by vibratory manner of working at 7:45 PM on November 5, 2020
My favorite scene of the episode was during the market fight, when Burnham sees the unprotected dilithium crystals and gleefully runs over and sweeps the rocks into her display case, like robbing a jewelry store.
posted by polymodus at 11:58 PM on January 6, 2021
I was recently reminded of the Living Witness episode of Voyager, which if you took it to be exactly 700 years after the recreated events would've taken place about a decade before the Burn, but presumably could be off a few decades either way. Would be a bit of a downer if the backup EMH died anonymously on the way back by having his ship randomly explode.

Why Angel Investment is important?
I attended in the dinner party of Life Science Angels (LSA) in Menlo Park last night. I usually go to the screening meetings, and also study how to be a great angel investor organized by LSA. Im honored to be a part of LSA, and always meet many great angels, and also startups.
One of my dreams is to make everyone happier by giving people more opportunities to try new things! How can we do that? I like to build the Angel Investment Culture in Japan in the near future. Nowadays, everyone in Japan is also trying to build 'Innovation Eco-system' by having many VCs, Incubation Centers, Co-working spaces, entrepreneurship education, lawyers starting to support more startups, etc. However, still the most important factor is missing in Japan. That is Angel Investment. Some serial entrepreneurs do invest in startups more lately, but not enough angels over there. What we need to change is to let Japanese HNWI (High Net Worth Individual) to know the importance of angel investing in startups is to bring next innovation, and it will generate the economical growth for themselves and GDP.
In Evolable Asia, you can hire experienced developers to satisfy and meet your project needs. With 400 applicants monthly and one digit turnover rate, we have maintained to recruit 794 developers working for various projects for 60 partners.
There are thousands of offshore companies around the world, why Evolable Asia?
To find out, please visit our website.
We have 794 developers in Vietnam.
On 15th of February, we hold #StartupFire at 42 Silicon Valley. We had over 100 dreamers came to our event. We really appreciate to everyone who came and supported. Especially all speakers, performers, who inspired all participants together, and thanks so much 42 for letting us use the amazing facility, and provided foods and many students helped us.
I believe in one of the most important thing to provide the innovative atmosphere is bringing many different kinds of people in the one place together. Yet, i also know that not great impact you can bring if there is only different kinds of people, what we really need is we need to invite 'Diversity of Dreamers' in the same place same time. And how you connect those people together is not too easy, but i wanted to try something cool with my crew.
We KAZOKU actually made the song for especially this event at 42.
Our song is called as 58 42.
Once again, we all appreciate to so many Diversity of Dreamers, many entrepreneurs, students from around the world.
Dr. Tanaka, who is one of my mentors from Harvard Business School, also participated. He is the one introduced me to 42 Silicon Valley. Really appreciate!!!
Japanese entrepreneur Mr. Sasaki, who was selected TOP20 Startups by Japanese Government for HIYAKU Project, sent to Silicon Valley.
Ms. Tamami Ushiki participated in our event with her business partners, she i City Chapter Director, Startup Grind Tokyo.
I love Alan's BIG SMILE ^^ haha He was amazing host!!! Thanks brother!!!
We ❤ you. #FreeMovement by #StartupFire.
#StartupFire is the place for dreamers!!!!
Our Next Event will be held in VAULT, in San Francisco on 6th of March.

In Psalm 19 David describes the ways in which God reveals Himself and His Will to man. First, God has revealed Himself to man by general revelation through His creation. As the opening verses above show, God has shown His glory to man through the works which He has made. As we behold a breathtaking sunrise or sunset, it is revealed to us the Almighty God made these things (Psalm 19:4-6). Although our hearts go out to the victims of this past week's tornado which touched down in Oklahoma and our prayers are lifted up to God on their behalf, when we see such tornado, our hearts are filled with awe and fear as we consider the power of God to create such a force of nature.
Psalm 19 also speaks about how God has revealed Himself to us through His special revelation which is found in the Scriptures. After describing how God has revealed Himself to man through His Creation found in nature, David now turns His attention to how God has made known His Will for mankind through His Word: "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether" (Psalm 19:7-9). It is awesome to consider how God inspired 40 men to write the 66 books of the Bible over a 1500 year period without there being one contradiction in the pages of Scripture. Within the pages of God's Word are contained the guidance we need to walk in a path which will lead to a blessed life: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105).
Although God's revealing Himself to mankind through both His Creation and His Word is a blessing He has given, we are encouraged to respond to this gift from God by eagerly pursuing God's instructions for us: "More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb" (Psalm 19:10). God's Word provides warnings of what not to do and guidance of what to do so that we may be blessed: "Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression" (Psalm 19:11-12).
Today, I will rejoice that God has revealed Himself to me in both His Creation and through His Word. I will take time to contemplate and appreciate how and why He did this for me. I will welcome and desire His guidance in my life and strive to walk within the paths He has revealed for me to follow!


The government is considering a possibility of revising the recently amended fines for seven motor traffic offences which stand at over Rs 25,000.
Steps are being taken to hold talks with transport-related trade unions following stiff opposition raised over the amended fines, State Minister of Transport Ashok Abeysinghe told local media.
A few bus trade unions engaged in a strike action after the fines were gazetted by the Transport Ministry. However, bus owners and bus passengers association did not engage in the strike and reported to work.
This is really a joke. Why can't the bus drivers obey rules. If they do then there won't be any fines. Most of they drives like to kill people. They are act like mentally disabled people. What they are asking is to allow them to kill people for cheap.

Technologies in clean transportation include next generation biofuel technologies, dual-fuel trucks, electric vehicles for both the consumer and commercial markets, and development of next generation vehicle engines.
Renewable energy is generated from natural resources and is naturally replenished; sources include sunlight, wind, ocean currents, biomass, marine algae, biodegradable waste, small hydroelectric power and geothermal heat. The use of these renewable energy sources can help cut emissions of greenhouse gases while addressing issues of energy security.
Environmental solutions assist with the reduction and/or capture of the principal pollutants that have negative effects. They include technologies such as retro-fits on power plants that reduce or capture flue pollutants, cleaner burning fuels and engines, and other control devices. Other solutions include natural resource management and carbon credits.
The solar industry is composed of a wide variety of companies that work along the solar energy producing value chain. Companies range from developers and manufacturers of solar panels and thin film, to integrators that analyze wind and weight load and develop mounting systems, to installers and system financiers.
Energy efficiency technologies reduce rates of household, commercial and industrial energy loss and consumption. These technologies include retro-fittings for public and commercial buildings, more efficient home and commercial appliances, building materials, power management software, and industrial power system improvements.
Waste management technologies assist with the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal and monitoring of waste materials, with new developments in waste to energy, the reduction of landfill usage and associated gas emissions, and the increase in overall recycling in a variety of industries.
Power infrastructure improvements change the way we convert, transport, deliver and store energy. Developments in power infrastructure technology include improved high-voltage lines and power distribution equipment, advance metering devices and systems, high-discharge rechargeable batteries and other energy storage solutions.
Similar to solar, the wind industry value chain is long and varied, from designers, manufacturers and installers of large-scale wind farms connected to the grid, to smaller-scale facilities at isolated commercial locations, to small residential turbines. Conversion technologies, wind farm developers and specialized component and materials developers are also part of this subsector.

Annette Bear-Crawford (1853 – 7 June 1899) was a women's suffragist and federationist in Victoria.

Early life
Bear-Crawford was born in East Melbourne, her family was wealthy and she spent her childhood in Australia and England. She had three brothers and five sisters. Their father believed in giving his daughters 'every educational advantage' and Annette was taught by governesses in Australia and England before attending Cheltenham Ladies' College, Gloucestershire. After some time in France and Germany she trained in social work in England, gaining experience of work in city slums and in London's New Hospital. She met leaders of the women's movement and became well known as an active member of the National Vigilance Association.

Women's suffrage
In April 1890, Bear-Crawford rejoined her mother in Victoria. She became a leading force in the growing women's movement which was then most concerned with gaining the franchise. Bear-Crawford believed that 'the vote would be the most effective instrument for improving conditions of life'. She used her fine organizing abilities to strengthen and eventually unite the existing suffrage societies. With the support of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), she formed the Victorian Women's Suffrage (Franchise) League. Then, on her initiative, the United Council for Women's Suffrage was founded in 1894, with representatives from organizations interested in the cause; she was first president and later honorary secretary. The council lobbied politicians and municipal councillors and organized a monster petition in favour of women's suffrage, but failed to persuade members of the Legislative Council to allow the passage of a franchise bill.

Bear-Crawford also helped to educate women for public work. An accomplished and logical speaker, she trained other women in the art; Vida Goldstein, who accompanied her to meetings, was shown how to handle hecklers and answer questions. Bear-Crawford constantly addressed WCTU and suffrage meetings and also encouraged women to gain election to school boards of advice. She helped to obtain amendments to legislation affecting women, including the raising of the age of consent to sixteen, and the appointment of women as factory inspectors and to the Benevolent Asylum Committee. She also saw the need for police matrons and women to administer the Infant Life Protection Act (1890), and was one of the first members of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children and of the Victorian Vigilance Society. She was a stimulus and inspiration to Victorian feminists of the time. Perhaps her most enduring achievement was the foundation in Melbourne of the Queen Victoria Hospital for Women, which grew out of her concern for the welfare of unmarried mothers and their children; she organized the successful Queen's Willing Shilling fund in 1897 to launch the scheme but did not live to see the hospital opened.

Personal life
In 1894, aged 41, Bear-Crawford had married William Crawford, a solicitor nine years her junior, and was thereafter known as Mrs Bear-Crawford. Her marriage brought her happiness but did little to change the even flow of her life. Beatrice Webb described her as a 'gentle-tempered intelligent woman who keeps me company in the dowdiness of her dress'. Domestic, affectionate and well-read, she had a 'lovable, sunny nature', but as an ardent feminist she believed strongly in women's equality with men; the Age reported in an editorial of 22 September 1897 that she had 'uttered the rather astounding dictum that most things worth having were originally produced by women. Man, she said, is destructive, while woman is constructive'.

In November 1898, after a farewell evening at the Prahran Town Hall, she left for England to attend the Women's International Conference. Her husband joined her in London only three weeks before she died of pneumonia, on 7 June 1899, aged 46. On 4 July a memorial service was held in St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne; in 1902 a statue was unveiled in London to her memory and, in tribute to her work in England and Australia, her English friends placed a bronze plaque on the wall of Christ Church, South Yarra. In 2007 Bear-Crawford was inducted to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women.

Dave Yunghans Constant Contact
Constant Contact have remained in the e-mail marketing video game considering that 1995. Throughout that time, they've taken care of to turn into one of one of the most previously owned e-mail devices worldwide, after Mailchimp.
One thing I noticed is that Constant Contact is extremely usually the leading choice for several other evaluation internet sites. Naturally, I wonder to see if our detailed evaluation generates the very same outcome.
You might have checked out the Constant Contact testimonials offered by customers online, too, and whilst they are rather favorable, they might not give you the whole picture. Our evaluation of Constant Contact is based on a methodical technique as well as utilizes our sensible experience and also understanding of loads of various other straightforward and advanced marketing automation devices.
What makes them unique is that they've added a number of functions throughout the years that few of their competitors sporting activity, such as electronic item downloads, occasion management, appointment scheduling as well as social campaigns. These all contribute to the diverse listing of email alternatives offered, in addition to automations as well as reoccuring newsletters.
Constant Contact brag a industry with around 400 apps as well as integrations that deal with also the most specific niche of items. Yet regardless of these showy numbers as well as attributes, rate of interest in Constant Contact seems to be on the decline, at least according to Google Trends. Sufficient factor for us to take a closer take a look at Constant Contact's outs & ins as well as inspect if it's still appropriate in the 21st century.
Find out listed below!
Constant Contact is routed in the direction of local business, however their prices aren't one of the most cost effective, specifically when you consider that their features simply aren't that progressed.

You need innovative automation:
Surprisingly, for the costs it charges, Constant Contact does not use the most advanced automations. While they do use triggered campaigns, autoresponders and also deserted cart projects (for Shopify only), you'll find that other much cheaper tools provide similar degrees of automation– MailerLite and Sendinblue, as an example.
Ranking details
Generally it's very easy to navigate, though a bit dull-looking. You can get to many areas within a number of clicks, though as they've included extra performance, some points have ended up being a little covert, for instance, automations.
The editor is quickly, however light on attributes, especially in the styling division. Besides that it's easy to collaborate with.
This is extremely fundamental, only enabling you to put easy greetings or call information. There is no if/then/else logic readily available.
Traditional, autoresponders, fundamental automations, repeating newsletters, A/B screening, occasion registrations, surveys, promo codes and also polls .
Choice as well as Flexibility of Template Designs
Not negative. You can additionally start from scrape, as well as utilize a convenient function called 'Brand your email' to auto-generate a theme based on your website's colors and also logo design.
They use autoresponders and also deserted cart advocate Shopify as well as WooCommerce. It also generates pre-defined get in touch with sectors based upon your clients' communications with your online store (e.g. repeat, expired as well as possible consumers). Automations based on get in touch with triggers (e.g. e-mail opens up, clicks) are likewise readily available. It's worth keeping in mind that the automations aren't the most versatile, as you can not actually integrate conditions and activities as you can in lots of various other devices.
You can develop segments from get in touch with task, checklist membership, call information, tags, or ecommerce task. You can likewise create a sector from your get in touch with insights as well as tag get in touches with based on contact area requirements.
There is beside no customization with the kind, as well as it simply supplies a summary box, standard field choices (which you can't contribute to) and after that a list, or lists, that individuals can examine to be added to.
As you can see in our deliverability tests, Constant Contact does not perform as well severely, getting to the most preferred e-mail providers (AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, and also Outlook) the majority of the moment.
Records as well as Analysis
In addition to basic open and also click records, spam, bounce and also unsubscribe rates are also available. You likewise get click warm maps, and also some valuable introduction reports such as open and click fads, opens up by device, % of contacts engaged, and also the majority of successful subject line.
Below's where it gets a little bit unshaven. The device and the site are just offered in English. You can select to change several of the non-editable email sections (e.g. footer and privacy policy message) to one of 10 languages available, primarily European. Support as well as the knowledge base is offered in 4 languages. Slightly complicated, yet at the very least there's some initiative to sustain multilingual users and target markets.
Spam testing isn't available, however, there is a attribute to check the email for errors ( missing out on web links, placeholder text that hasn't been upgraded, and so on). There's likewise a tool that allows you to sneak peek exactly how e-mails will certainly look for details receivers, although this really did not appear to work when we checked it out. 'Inbox Preview' by Litmus is available as an add-on service, although at $10/month for simply 5 examinations, it's a little steep.
Soft bounces are positioned on temporary hold for 15 days, and then dislike. They are moved right into a put on hold bounce classification if it happens once more. They have a ' advised for elimination' filter offered to check out these, however don't remove them automatically.
Import/export offered although it's not as simple as maybe– you require to initially make it possible for advanced email approvals under Account Settings.
Storage space available for images and also data
All strategies include unlimited storage.
Very own Domain
Different levels of account access
The Account Owner can also designate functions to be either an Account Manager or a Campaign Creator.
Constant Contact use a enormous amount of applications and also integrations , nearly 400.
This is only offered by means of their kind building contractor, and it's really basic. Rather, we would certainly recommend these free touchdown web page building contractors.
There are several networks of support, including online conversation, phone support, a knowledge base and community-based assistance. I discovered that the chat as well as phone assistance weren't constantly readily available, which was a little discouraging.
Total ranking.
For a basic email tool, Constant Contact ticks the majority of packages. The main issue below, however, is that they're asking a costs cost for a sub-premium product.
As Constant Contact themselves repeat through their site, they are a tool for small companies. And, as such, it's worth reviewing them on these terms. As discussed over, they most definitely have sufficient of the fundamentals covered to please most small businesses, as well as if it were as basic as that then we 'd advise them much more highly.
The issue, nowadays, is that there are a lot of other email devices using even more than Constant Contact, as well as for a great deal much less cash. This consists of not just features, however likewise user experience. As a matter of fact, for the amount you pay with Constant Contact, you might find yourself making use of far more powerful tools such as ActiveCampaign and also GetResponse.
They do pick up factors for their decent deliverability rates, combinations ( specifically social media sites combinations), as well as for allowing different access levels for different users. And also with recent improvements to automations and also reporting, as well as the enhancement of brand-new attributes like a website home builder, it does look like they're making an effort to improve the item. But their absence of advanced functions makes it challenging to advise them over others at this rate point. (You'll see we don't note them as a good Mailchimp option, either.).
There you have it: the following time you see Constant Contact as the number 1 rated service anywhere around the web, I would frankly declare that there could be other rate of interests at play there.

Sendinblue review.
ActiveCampaign has one of one of the most innovative automation systems we've ever tried, and also it can not be compared to Constant Contact's simplified approach (it only includes autoresponders).

Historical society seeks funding
rfox@tribtoday.com
WARREN — The Trumbull County Historical Society wants Trumbull County commissioners to help fund 2019 programs with $75,000, but it's unclear if the county will be able to support that request.
"Our operating budget is funded through fundraising events, memberships and individual donations and sponsorships. Currently, the majority of our staff and volunteer resources go directly to fundraising and development. With increased funding, it is our goal to shift staff and volunteer resources to program development, countywide outreach and the preservation of the artifacts in our care," said Meghan Reed, historical society director.
Commissioner Dan Polivka said the county's general fund budget has not been finalized, but it is expected to distribute about $47 million to county functions. Departments requested about $51.3 million for 2019.
"The historical society is an important aspect of Trumbull County. I have always supported the historical society with sponsorship of events, etc. I don't know if we can meet the $75,000, but I am hopeful we can help with some support. To what level? That will have to be determined by the board. Our budget is tight, but I hope the board sees the importance," Polivka said.
The money could help bring federal, state and local grant dollars to the organization and support and expand other historical society programming, Reed said.
Commissioner Mauro Cantalamessa said essential services will be funded first, but recognized the value the historical society brings to the county.
"We haven't finalized the budget yet, but the budgetary requests certainly exceed the actual 2018 budget. Mandated and essential county services are obviously our first priority. We definitely recognize the work that Meghan and the board have been doing and the programs they've established. That type of community development and education plays a large role in our county's future success. Their request will certainly be given consideration," Cantalamessa said.
A project in 2019 not dependent on money from commissioners is the acquisition of a second building that will be renovated and serve as a cultural and education center, Reed said.
The effort will transform 328 Mahoning Avenue NW, the old public defenders' office built in 1894, into a classroom, public research facility and community room. The project will also allow the society to renovate rooms in the John Stark Edwards House to help preserve Warren's oldest structure.
The organization is also working with schools to find the descendants of 40 World War I medal recipients who never received their medals with the hope of returning the medals to the descendants, Reed said.


Soft tissue grafts are usually done to improve the esthetics and cleans ability of the site. Prior to the procedure, the area will be numbed. An incision is made to expose the site and a soft tissue graft is then obtained either from the palate (roof of the mouth) or a soft tissue substitute. The graft is then inserted into the area receiving the graft, which is then secured with stitches.

Leon Albert "Bud" Edney (* 1. März 1935 in Dedham, Massachusetts) ist ein ehemaliger Admiral der US Navy, der unter anderem zwischen 1988 und 1990 Vize-Chef des Stabes der Marine (Vice Chief of Naval Operations) sowie zuletzt von 1990 bis 1992 sowohl Oberster Alliierter Kommandeur (Supreme Allied Commander) der NATO im Atlantik (SACLANT) als auch Oberkommandierender des US-Atlantikkommandos USLANTCOM (US Atlantic Command) war.

Leben

Militärische Ausbildung und Vietnamkrieg
Edney absolvierte nach dem Schulbesuch eine Offiziersausbildung in der US Navy und fand nach deren Abschluss zahlreiche Verwendungen in Marineeinheiten. Nach einer fliegerischen Ausbildung wurde er 1958 Pilot in der U-Boot-Jagdstaffel 27 sowie im Anschluss in der U-Boot-Jagdstaffel 24. Er absolvierte ein postgraduales Studium an der Harvard University und war danach von 1963 bis 1965 Sonderassistent des stellvertretenden Chefs des Marinestabes für Forschung und Entwicklung. Er nahm ab 1965 als Korvettenkapitän und Pilot der Angriffsstaffel 164 am Vietnamkrieg teil und wurde für seine dortigen militärischen Leistungen erstmals mit dem Legion of Merit sowie vier Mal mit dem Distinguished Flying Cross ausgezeichnet. Nach seiner Rückkehr wurde er 1970 Planungsoffizier für die westliche Hemisphäre in der Politisch-Militärischen Planungsabteilung im Büro des Chefs des Marinestabes und kurz darauf 1970 als White House Fellow Sonderassistent von Verkehrsminister John Volpe. 1971 wurde er zunächst stellvertretender Kommandeur (Executive Officer) und im Anschluss 1972 Kommandeur (Commanding Officer) der Angriffsstaffel 27.

1974 wurde Edney Kommandeur des auf dem Flugzeugträger USS Ranger stationierten Angriffsgeschwaders Zwei (Carrier Air Wing Two) sowie 1976 Kommandant des Trossschiffes USS Ponchatoula. Nach einer darauf folgenden Verwendung als Chef des Stabes der Flugzeugträgerangriffsgruppe Elf CSG-11 (Carrier Strike Group 11) wurde er im Januar 1980 Kommandant des Flugzeugträgers USS Constellation.

Aufstieg zum Admiral
Im Juni 1981 erfolgte seine Beförderung zum Flottillenadmiral sowie die Ernennung zum Kommandanten der Seekadetten (Midshipmen) an der US Naval Academy in Annapolis. Danach wurde Edney im März 1984 Kommandeur der Flugzeugträgerangriffsgruppe Eins CSG-1 (Carrier Strike Group 1). Anschließend fungierte er erst als Assistierender stellvertretender Chef des Marinestabes für Luftkriegsführung und daraufhin als Direktor der Abteilung Marinefliegerplanung und Anforderungen im Marinestab, ehe er Direktor des Büros für Programmbewertung beim Marineminister (US Secretary of the Navy) war. 1987 wurde er zunächst Leiter der Abteilung Marinepersonal sowie im Anschluss stellvertretender Chef des Marinestabes für Arbeitskräfte, Personal und Ausbildung.

Im August 1988 wurde er als Nachfolger von Admiral Huntington Hardisty  Vize-Chef des Stabes der Marine (Vice Chief of Naval Operations) und verblieb auf diesem Posten bis Mai 1990, woraufhin Admiral Jerome L. Johnson seine Nachfolge antrat. Zuletzt löste Edney am 18. Mai 1990 Admiral Frank B. Kelso II. als Oberster Alliierter Kommandeur (Supreme Allied Commander) der NATO im Atlantik (SACLANT) und in Personalunion zugleich auch als Oberkommandierender des US-Atlantikkommandos USLANTCOM (US Atlantic Command). Diese Posten hatte er bis zu seinem Ausscheiden aus dem aktiven Militärdienst am 13. Juli 1992 inne und wurde dann von Admiral Paul David Miller abgelöst. Für seine Verdienste wurde er mit der Defense Distinguished Service Medal sowie der Navy Distinguished Service Medal sowie Goldenen Sternen anstelle zweier weiterer Legion of Merit geehrt.

Here is the result on the console when I try and run index.php for debugging:
[docker://jitesoft/phpunit:latest/]:php -dxdebug.mode=debug -dxdebug.client_port=9000 -dxdebug.client_host=host.docker.internal -dxdebug.client_host=host.docker.internal /opt/project/index.php

Process finished with exit code 0

Two things jump out at me

*

*The top of the debug configure dump suggests step debugging is still disabled???

*The path to the php script I want to execute on the docker side is /app/index.php not /opt/project/index.php
Thoughts?
