Ace Attorney facts from interviews that live rent free in my brain:

- Turnabout Big Top was voted in the Top 5 cases in the trilogy in a Japanese poll and is, on record, Takumi’s favorite non-finale case

- The team got yelled at for “including too many old men” which led to the creation of Mia’s character

- Takumi’s favorite character is Maya, but he has to get drunk before he can write her dialogue otherwise he gets too embarrassed

- The most requested case concept from fans is [checks notes] a.. train groping case?????

- Takumi has more trouble writing Phoenix than Edgeworth bc the prosecutor is “more unstable than the average person”

- Takumi’s headcanon is that Phoenix was training to be a Shakespearean actor in college and that’s why he’s Like That. He was in Europe studying theatre when he saw Edgeworth in the newspaper and then pivoted to law. Apparently Takumi thinks Phoenix might have been a manga artist’s assistant in college for extra money too?

- Edgeworth’s sanity is apparently hanging exclusively on his dog, who is the only living thing he can be vulnerable with. If the dog dies Edgeworth would apparently Fucking Lose It

- Phoenix thinks Edgeworth is a “pretty cute guy”

- Edgeworth’s favorite music is Korean techno / disco

- When one of the Von karmas wins a case, Manfred takes them out for karaoke

#ace attorney #this is from interviews for 2 and 3 so idk how much this applies but man is it funny #mod vex

Take Out for Dummies - Part 3

Aka Danny has been hired to take out Red Hood, there may or may not have been a misunderstanding.

First | Masterpost

Jason had carefully checked their surrounding for cameras, but they ended up doing as Danny had suggested, sitting back to back each with their own collection of various meats and vegetables on sticks.

Danny groaned and leaned his weight back against Jason. “What is it about food on a stick that makes it so delicious?”

Jason chuckled, “I don’t know.”

It was simple fare, charred just the right amount from the grill and spicy in a way that warmed.

There was a moment of silence.

“You have a very nice voice, you know? Like I get the voice modulation is meant to be scary and all and it makes sense. Just… you have a nice voice.”Jason swallowed. He wasn’t sure why his throat felt so tight all of a sudden.

“Thanks.” He didn’t know what else to say.

They finished eating and Danny jumped up with renewed restless energy, still turned away from Jason.

“Tell me when you’re decent.”

Jason snorted as he pulled the helmet back on and it came online. “I’ll show you indecent.”

Danny squeaked. Jason turned around to find him hiding his face in his hands in embarrassment. At least Jason wasn’t the only one with the dirty thoughts.

“Alright-“ Jason peeled one of Danny’s hands away to hold it, “show the way. Are we breaking in?”

“Uh-“ Danny looked from Jason to the hand, his cheeks were dusted a very becoming pink - turnabout really was fair play. Finally he seemed to come back online as he shook his head.

“No, I have a key.”

Jason grabbed the trash bag in his other hand as Danny was still carting around his unicorn.

“Why do you have a key to the ice rink?”

“I do maintenance here sometimes, so I asked to borrow the rink for tonight.”

“Are there anyone in Gotham you don’t know at this point?”

“I’m sure there are plenty still,” Danny answered the rhetorical question as he opened the roof access door. Why that was the door he had a key to was another question entirely. Though they may of course just all use the same key.

They went down a stairwell and out into the cold hall with the frozen rink as centerpiece. Jason eyed Danny’s thin button down shirt, if he’d planned this why hadn’t he brought a jacket?

“There’s skates over there,” Danny pointed to the skate renting counter on the left side of the room. “will you grab me a pair of size seven skates, while I turn on some music and lights?”

Jason did as asked jumping the counter. There was a convenient trash can behind the counter where he could dump the bag.

When he returned to the main hall with skates in hand his eyes widened. When Danny had said turn on the lights he hadn’t expected them to be from those multicolored disco balls, nor for the music to put them back to the 70’s with an upbeat disco track.

“What do you think?” Danny yelled from where he ducked out from an operator room.

“It’s something alright,” Jason yelled back as he sat down on one of the benches and started pulling his boots off. He snorted as he realized something: if this was still an elaborate hit, Danny would be the type to love the double pun of taking out Red Hood by putting him on ice.

Jason didn’t actually think this was a hit. Hadn’t thought so in quite a while. He’d let his guard down.

Danny walked over with that small smile on his face that made Jason wonder if this was just his base state; just happy, enjoying himself, doing his little odd jobs, helping kids out for pebbles because he could, taking Red Hood out on a date.

Jason still didn’t know what to think about that. Like even if he genuinely thought whoever asked him to take out Red Hood meant on a date, there was still that logic break where Danny had decided, yeah sure sounds like a fun time, let’s just corner the former crime lord current vigilante on a rooftop in the middle of the night to ask his date preferences.

Danny was definitely not normal in any sense of the word, but Jason found that he couldn’t help but like that. Some good kind of crazy in this city for once.

“Never been to a skating disco before?” Danny asked when he within easy speaking range.

“Can’t say that I have.”

“Well not that there’s really any expectations here since it’s just the two of us, so we can do whatever.” Danny grinned, sat down next Jason and pulled his shoes off. He was in his skates and jumping to his feet in no time at all. He wobbled, and windmilled his arms so as not to fall and Jason had to grab him and steady him.

“Are you sure you have tried this before?”

“I’ll have you know I’m a great skater.” Danny sniffed, brushing Jason off, as he started awkwardly walking towards the rink in his skates.

“Just not at walking in them.”

Danny sent him a bewildered look. “Nobody is good at walking in skates.”

Jason rolled his eyes and tightened and tied off the last lace. He didn’t jump up carelessly like Danny, instead he rose and took careful steps. While it was indeed neither comfortable or normal to walk on the bladed edge of the skates, he did make it seem a great deal more natural than Danny had.

Danny stuck out his tongue at him for that and Jason couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yeah yeah, laugh it up. Join me on the ice and we’ll see who’s laughing.” With that he stepped onto the ice in a languid, confident glide, that immediately made it clear, that Danny did indeed know how to skate.

But Jason was no slouch either. He could skate even if it’s been a while and he never said no to a challenge. It took a moment for Jason to get used to the ice below his feet, but he quickly gained both speed and confidence.

Danny caught his eyes then with a wink, turned, and built up speed in a few quick glides and then he was jumping off the ice, spinning in the air and at what seemed like last moment he landed on just one leg, the other leg stretched out behind him as he leaned forward in something almost like a bow.

Okay so it turns out Danny couldn’t just skate he could skate. As in he could do not just spins but flips - Jason could do flips fine on the ground; he was not quite Dick enough to try it on ice. Of course Danny was also being a little shit about it.

There was something about that smile he was sporting that made Jason just want to reach out and grab him - and do what? He wasn’t sure. But there was an invite to try and catch him in the way he glided around Jason, responding to Jason’s movements by darting away like a fish only to come back, but never close enough to reach.

Jason smiled. Okay, he would bite.

When next Danny passed, he lunged. Danny shot forward with a delighted laugh. Jason wasn’t far behind him, but Danny’s turns were needle point sharp as he lead Jason on a merry chase across the ice. He was slippery as a fucking eel, the way he kept himself just shy of Jason’s fingertips every time he reached for him.

He was doing it on purpose too, Jason realized. He was letting Jason get close only to twist and turn and escape with a laugh and leave Jason to regain the balance he lost by lunging. Jason didn’t immediately pick up the chase this time.

“What’s the matter Hood? Can’t keep up?”Jason huffed. No, he couldn’t. That much was clear at this point. But that didn’t mean the game was over. It only meant Jason had to work smarter not harder. He stuck his hands in his jacket pockets and started on a leisured circuit of the rink.

“Did you skate a lot as a kid?”

Danny came into Jason’s field of view, skating backwards effortlessly. There was a slight pout on his face at the interrupted game, but he answered Jason’s question, “Not really.”

“Huh, how did you learn to skate then?” Jason asked surprised.

That wiped away Danny’s pout and Jason felt a twinge of anticipation for what surely boded another fun story, but nothing could have prepared him for what actually came out of Danny’s mouth.

“I was taught by a yeti named Frostbite, he’s like my mentor in everything ice.”

“A yeti?” Jason spluttered.

Danny grinned in a way that showed he knew exactly how outrageous it sounded, but still kept his voice perfectly even when he said, “yes, it’s their national sport.”

Jason laughed. He couldn’t help it. “Uh huh, and where did you meet this yeti?”

“A place called the Far Frozen, not many people have heard of it. They tend to be rather reclusive.”

Danny didn’t falter one moment in his explanation. He either had a selection of stories he told or he was extremely good at improvising. He was also suddenly within reach, guard down as he thought Red Hood had given up on the game.

Jason lunged. Danny’s eyes widened comically as he realized his mistake and tried to backpedal, but it was too late. Jason had him wrapped in his arms. They both went down overbalanced from Danny’s struggle. Jason twisted them so he took the brunt of the fall. Danny didn’t deserve to be caught beneath 225 pounds of vigilante even if he’d been asking for it.

They laid there on the ice catching their breaths.

“Bastard, you caught me.” Danny finally spoke giggling like he couldn’t believe it.

“Yeah, you shouldn’t have-“ Jason stopped, finally noticing how cold Danny was. “You’re freezing!”

“No really it’s fine-“ Danny protested as Jason pulled him back up, but Jason wouldn’t have it.

“Who forgets to wear a jacket when going skating,” Jason grumbled pulling his jacket off and wrapping it around Danny shoulders. It looked comically large hanging off Danny’s small frame, but Jason only gave himself a small moment to appreciate it before drawing Danny close again.

It took a moment but then Danny relaxed into the hold.

“How’s this? Better?” Jason asked after a while.

Danny looked up his eyes wide and blue and maybe a little overwhelmed. “Y-yeah.”

Jason frowned looking around to locate the bench where their shoes were. “We should probably get out of this cold.”

“No,” Danny said immediately pressing close, then flinched, before saying quietly, “can we just stay like this for a bit?”

Jason blinked in confusion. It didn’t make sense to stay in the cold, but he found himself agreeing quietly.

The music at this point had turned to quieter songs. Jason was starting to feel the cold himself by staying still, and he started to sway to the music, moving just a little across the ice. Danny looked up. He wiggled around and it took only a moment for him to actually find the sleeves and push his arms through. Jason let go to let him and soon found his hands captured in still cold but no longer freezing hands.

“Dance with me?” Danny asked.

Jason couldn’t say no to that, but “I’ve never danced on ice before.”

Danny grinned and glided back in close, getting them positioned for a waltz. “It doesn’t have to be right, but you lead and I’ll follow and make sure we don’t fall on our asses.”

Jason scoffed as he lead them into a glide that had Danny moving along mostly backwards on the ice.

“You don’t trust me to follow.”

“No,” Danny grinned, “But I do trust you to catch me.”

Jason rolled his eyes fondly behind the helmet. Then dipped Danny suddenly to make him prove it. There wasn’t a hint of struggle, he stayed relaxed in his hold as if they’d danced together like this a million times. Jason didn’t know what to do with that, and pulled him back up.

Jason didn’t know how long they danced. Danny had started talking quietly after a while admitting he hadn’t gone on a date since he went to high school, and got Jason to admit he liked reading. but he did know his feet were starting to hurt. Still he was reluctant for it to be over.

It was only when Danny failed in hiding a yawn they left the rink.

Jason rolled the bike to a smooth stop putting one foot down to keep balance. He let go of the handlebars and straightened up to allow Danny to get off.

However instead of getting off Danny took off the helmet, hung it on a handlebar and twisted around bringing his legs up until he faced Jason and could wrap them lightly around Jason’s waist. Jason’s mind went blank at the way it brought them closer, the only thing keeping the position somewhat decent for the public was the unicorn now squished between them. If Jason now wished he’d never won the thing, that was a secret he was taking to his second grave.

“So,” Danny said conversationally, wrapping his arms loosely around Jason’s neck, leaning his forearms on his shoulders almost thoughtfully, “I had fun.” He smiled. “I hope you also had fun, that was the whole purpose after all.”

He paused - maybe waiting for a response, but Jason didn’t even know what to say. He certainly wasn’t going to admit he had fun. That was- Red Hood wouldn’t do that. He’d already behaved way too much like himself tonight.

There was a momentary frown on Danny’s face before it smoothed out replaced by a soft smile, that Jason had no idea what to do with. “This is the point where a successful date is usually rewarded with a kiss - you can say no?”

Jason stiffened.

Surely he wasn’t going to?!

Danny leaned in, his smile turned wicked for a moment as his hands splayed out on either side of the helmet. Jason needed to stop him, but instead his traitorous hands landed on Danny’s waist.

He needed to push him away; he didn’t.

Danny’s hands tightened on the helmet, pulling-

Except he didn’t pull the helmet off, he just pulled Jason closer and tilted his head backwards and then pressed his lips to the helmet, right were his mouth would have been. It was chaste, but not just a quick peck. No, it was a slow and languid press in a way that made Jason all too aware that there was little more than an inch between their lips, but it might as well have been miles for the barrier between them. Slow in a way that made Jason’s breath catch in his throat and his treacherous brain wish Danny had removed the fucking helmet.

Danny drew back, his blue eyes practically sparkling in mischief and he lightly bonked his forehead against the helmet before twisting around again and jumping off, Jason letting him reluctantly.

“See you around, Hood.” Danny waved once before he started walking down the road, unicorn plushie under one arm, utterly unafraid to walk the most crime ridden streets of Gotham in the early hours of the morning. Presumably he was going home to his mystery residence.

Jason should follow him. It was the perfect time to find out more about the mystery that was Odd-Job Danny. It was why he’d agreed to the date in the first place. Right?

Instead his brain was going around in circles, wondering if he had pulled up his helmet when Danny first mentioned the kiss, not pulled it off of course, just up to his nose or so, would Danny have gone through with it? Would he have actually kissed him? Or did he only do it because he knew the helmet was there in between them?

Did Jason want him to kiss him?

Fuck. He did.

Danny was gone now, nowhere to be seen. Whatever chance he’d had of figuring out more was gone. And yet that seemed the least of Jason’s problems.

So that's the end of the date, though of course not the end of the story. Consider commenting or writing something in the tags if you liked it, things irl are gonna be very busy for the next year so I could use all the motivation for writing I can scrape together. You can subscribe at the masterpost for future updates. Next

Saw this and eventually decided to explain Disco Elysium to you.

Disco Elysium is a role playing game based around playing as a detective following a severe bout of drug and alcohol induced amnesia.

The game has an unusual skill system in which the skills themselves are voices in the player character's head. These voices give advice and chime in with relevant information.

It's a very fascinating game and I would recommend either playing it yourself or watching a play through of it.

Though if you just want to get a feel for the entire concept, I recommend reading Pyrrha's Elysium, a very interesting fic where Pyrrha has the skills voices (adjusted to fit her better) in her head. With all the... eccentricity that comes with it.

I also liked THE BLED OUT MAN, a short crossover with Worm. Very fascinating. It does the characters quite well.

There's also a few quite good crossover fanart comics with Ace Attorney here on tumblr by Concord and Cliches, Turnabout Disco.

But yeah, it would be interesting to see a Chloe Disco Elysium AU.

Oh that's fascinating.

I saw it mentioned a few times before so this puts some stuff in context but yeah I might check that out at some point

Is Ace Attorney a good series to play? Which entries do you recommend?

It depends on your definition of good. Also I am hardly an expert, because I've cleared only the first two games in the series.

Ace Attorney is humorous and absurd. It's also dated back to 2001, so expect the old games not to be keeping up with the times as far as the themes go; it can be casually cruel to you. It haphazardly mixes anime and video-game logic with impactful real life parallels. Just when you think you have figured it out and are prepared for the next gag joke about the power of police and how it controls everything without being able to find its own arse even when they have a detailed map and an anatomical atlas a guy literally named Dick Gumshoe punches you in the emotional gut by having a meltdown and crisis of what his own worth to the world is. And then he turns around and goes "But I'm the world's best chef, I can make instant ramen like no one!"

Be prepared to get frustrated over "that is in no way obvious or logical!" prepare to have a favourite character who is an ultimate idiot. (It doesn't matter who will be your favourite, everyone is an idiot.) Prepare for an interactive visual novel where you aren't given choices to actually influence the outcome. Prepare to shout "WHAT? HOW?" a lot. Really really a lot. There will be a point where you will ask yourself "Can this shit-show be any more of a circus?" and the game will turn around and show you that yes, yes it can. (Turnabout Big Top might not be the most amazing episode, but it has impeccable timing.)

It's not a bad game and it is, in my opinion, a highly enjoyable game. Alternatively if you don't want to take a part in the absurd clusterfuck of a roller coaster.

I personally can’t play it for long in one sitting; I get emotionally charged and need to walk the charge off. I’ve walked many many kilometres to get through Farewell My Turnabout and Turnabout Goodbyes. At least I stay fit. But with mindless hack-and-slashers or puzzle games or strategy games I don’t have this problem. For the same reason I’m also stuck on Disco Elysium (objectively a great game, also very depressing). On the plus side AA is mostly character driven, which is something I am very much into.

My suggestion is that you play/watch a let's play chronologically in order of release. At least the first three games (Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Justice For All and Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations) rely on each other that you know what happened in the previous installments. It also doesn't make much sense to play Ace Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney when you don't know who is that depressed guy in a beanie and what he's been up to previously. Ace Attorney Investigations will land flat when you didn't want to strangle its protagonist Miles Edgeworth with your bare hands for that autopsy bullshit he's pulled, not to mention meeting young Franziska. The Great Ace Attorney, which are set in 19th century are going to have you so lost without knowing the main series.

Start with the original trilogy of AA:PW, AA:JFA and AA:T&T, see how it goes. On Steam there are several good walkthrougs that spoiler the minimum of the story. Hug Wendy Oldbag for me, girl has shit luck. Also hug Maya. Dear gods, hug Maya.

favourite ace attorney characters? favourite case you’ve played so far? game you’re most looking forward to playing? if we were going for bevvies at my fav pub in winchester, which character are you inviting and who are you inviting for me? skrunkliest ace attorney character? character whose outfit you most want to steal?

MISSILE! Missile missile missile, also missile. But uh. Edgeworth, both Smug Prick case 1 Edgeworth and emotional-lynchpin-of-the-entire-cast Turnabout Goodbyes Edgeworth (I am OBSESSED with this character development, where do we GO from here!!!!!) I have not met her properly yet but I have been rotating Ema's vibes in my mind for almost exactly an entire 24 hours now!!! Like it has to be Turnabout Goodbyes, right, like. The other cases so far were really good, they set up a really cool world, they have interesting but coherent twists and turns, very well writtten, well-paced, but Turnabout Goodbyes turns it all up to like. 15. 17. 21. The emotional stakes are SO HIGH, and they pay off so well, and even the most seemingly ridiculous points in the trial WORK, and pay off, its. Its SO well put together!!! I *really* want to get started on Disco Elysium, I am waiting until after my halloween show because I do need to Learn to Play the Keyboard, and I will dissappear into it and never return I can tell already! (I am also very much looking forward to God of War Ragnarok, I was blown away by how good the 2018 one was, I !!!!) OKAY, for me I am probably inviting Ema because I HAVE to know more about her! But if we're going with characters I am more familiar with, I think Larry Butz would be a lot of fun, or Sadie Adler from Red Dead Redemption 2, my beloved! For YOU I am inviting Enoch Drebber, I think he'd be a bit hesitant at first but I think he would really get on with you, he'd like hearing about your medical background you'd have stories to swap with each other, I think you would get eachother's vibes really well for real for real! This answer is also Enoch Drebber, a skrunkle is 100% the sound his prosthetic arm makes, he's so skrunkly! I want Ema's outfit from Rise from the Ashes I have already googled this. This is the Most Vibe I have ever seen. Everyone in AA so far has a Hell of a look but I Need these vibes!!!!!!

15 notes - Posted October 18, 2022

I swear to god in the middle of the climax of Turnabout Succession, it literally took me 10 whole minutes of walking around my house to calm down from laughing and losing my mind at the realization that literally every single thing that happened in AA4 was the result of Kristoph Gavin’s incompetence.

Like I spent that whole game tense and enraptured, wondering what could have possibly been the reason for all of this, wondering what motivation Kristoph had to ruin Phoenix Wright’s life, wondering what the root of this whole web of lies and control and manipulation and subterfuge could possibly be, only for it to be revealed that the only reason any of this happened was because Kristoph Gavin was a bad defense attorney. That’s literally the root of it all! He had 8 years of legal experience and was going up against his own 17 year old little punk ass brother in the guys first case ever, and he still wasn’t able to prove his client innocent without paying someone $100,000 for forged evidence. Every SINGLE thing that Kristoph did afterward was either a coverup or a failed attempt at one. There was no grand plan in place at all! Kristoph had just spent 7 years fumbling and panicking and desperately trying to cover his own ass. That’s all it was and it makes me cry laughing when I think about it too much.

turnabout disco

(id in alt text and under the cut, sketches also under the cut!)

[Image ID: Part one of two of an Ace Attorney/Disco Elysium crossover fancomic. Panel One: Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey stand, facing Harry Du Bois and Kim Kitsuragi. Harry, with a thoughtful hand on his chin, asks Phoenix and Maya, "You're looking to get your hands on the autopsy, huh?" Panel Two: Phoenix, looking deferential, says, "I know the prosecution might've told you to keep it under wraps, but it would really help out our investigation." Panel Three: Harry, hand still on his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face, says, "Hm." He continues, "Well, I wouldn't be a Superstar Cop if I followed orders all the time, so…" Panel Four: In the upper left corner, there is an image of a typical autopsy report from Ace Attorney, as it would appear in the Court Record. Harry says, from off-panel, "Here! Have at it, kids." Phoenix and Maya look down at the report with pleasantly surprised expressions. Phoenix says, "Wow, really?" Panel Five: A slightly altered copy of the previous panel. Harry, again from off-panel, says, "Sure! Just one whiff of you gave me working class vibes, so you're alright in my book." Maya, with a smug and teasing expression, says, "Nick, I think he's calling you poor." Phoenix, with an annoyed expression, says, "Maya, don't forget who signs your paychecks."

Part two of two of an Ace Attorney/Disco Elysium crossover fancomic, a continuation of the previous image. Panel One: A close-up of the autopsy in Phoenix's hand. Most of it is cut off, except for one section: "SEX: Male". The "Male" is written in blue with blocky letters. Underneath this, in grey, "pigs gonna have sex" is written, and there is a small drawing of a pleading face emoji next to this. This is also crossed out by the same blue that "Male" is written in. Panel Two: Phoenix and Maya, with wide eyes, look down at the paper. Panel Three: A copy of the previous panel, except they are now looking off-panel at Harry and Kim. Panel Four: Harry, pointing finger guns, says with a confident expression, "We put the body in a giant fridge shaped like a bear, too. Just so you know." Behind Harry, Kim looks at him with a frustrated expression, saying, "You can stop telling everyone about that any time now, detective." Panel Five: A distant shot of Phoenix and Maya standing together in silence. Panel Six: A copy of the previous panel, except, from off-panel, Harry is saying, "Did you get to the part where I shoved my hand down his throat, yet?"

An Ace Attorney/Disco Elysium crossover fancomic. Panel One: Harry Du Bois and Kim Kitsuragi are looking around Miles Edgeworth's office. Kim is in the back, looking at a bookshelf, and Harry is looking at a chessboard. Text in the panel reads: "PERCEPTION (Sight) [Easy: Success] - There's a chessboard with blue and red pieces. The blue pawns have spiky hair and the red knights have edgy swords." Panel Two: A close-up of Harry with wide eyes and furrowed brows. Text in the panel reads: "CONCEPTUALIZATION [Hard: Success] - WAIT." Harry also has a thought bubble with little images of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth inside it. Panel Three: Kim looks over his shoulder as Harry says, from off-panel, "Kim. Kim. Kim." Panel Four: Harry turns Kim around by grabbing his shoulder, and Kim has an annoyed expression. Harry says, "Kim." Panel Five: With his arm still outstretched on Kim's shoulder, and still wide-eyed and determined, Harry asks, "Lawyers can be gay, too??" Panel Six: Kim looks on with a blank expression. /end ID]

Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 Episode 6 Easter Eggs & References

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for “Scavengers.”

As Star Trek: Discovery continues to boldly go where no 23rd Century crew has gone before, the tapestry of the rest of the Trek franchise continues to get slightly redefined. In Discovery Season 3, Episode 6, “Scavengers,” a rogue mission from Burnham literally puts her and Georgiou in a scrapyard that contains a ton of old Star Trek Easter eggs, even if we only glimpse a few. Along the way, the USS Discovery gets an interesting upgrade, and more details about the Mirror Universe are teased out for the first time in a while. Plus, was that an homage to The Empire Strikes Back? Here’s every Easter egg and reference in Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 6, “Scavengers,” that we were able to catch…

USS Discovery NCC-1031-A

As Saru mentions the various retrofits and upgrades the USS Discovery has received — including detached warp nacelles — we see a few bots putting finishing touches on the outside of the hull. The registry number of the Discovery now reads NCC-1031-A. And yep, that “A” is brand new. This is a slight change from Starfleet’s older operating procedure. Back in the day, you only got a new letter on a ship’s registry if it was a new version of the ship, effectively replacing one that had been destroyed. The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A was the first onscreen version of this practice, seen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Several Classic Trek Planets on the Big Map

Just like in Episode 5, Admiral Vance’s giant holographic map includes the names of countless “known” Star Trek planets. In this brief sequence, there are almost too many to count, and most of the names are mirrored backward, because Vance is reading them from his vantage point, opposite the camera. Anyway, we caught a few classic names including:

Talos: This is an easy one. The Talos system contains Talos IV, the “first” Trek planet ever visited in the TOS pilot “The Cage” and the episode “The Menagerie.” Burnham and Spock went to Talos IV in the Discovery Season 2 episode “If Memory Serves.”

Beta Niobe: The Beta Niobe system comes from the TOS episode “All Our Yesterdays,” which featured some accidental time travel for Kirk, Spock, and Bones. Oddly, the star in the Beta Niobe system went nova in that episode, circa 2269. What’s in that “star” system now? Well, in an episode of The Animated Series — “The Counter-Clock Incident” — the remnants of the Beta Niobe supernova was a conduit to an “anti-matter universe.” This caused the TOS crew to get turned into little babies. Seems like Vance has an eye on that. Don’t want anyone else ending up “half a Rascal.”

Camus: The Camus system probably refers to the planet Camus II, which was first visited in the TOS episode “Turnabout Intruder,” otherwise known as the last regular episode of TOS, and possibly the worst Trek episode of all time. In the TNG episode “Legacy,” the Enterprise-D was supposed to go to this planet, but then got diverted.

Multi-function Badges

The crew’s new badges are now basically every famous Star Trek technology thing, rolled into one. With the holographic interface, the badges are communicators, tricorders, and personal transporters.

“I was on my way to the Bajoran exchange”

In Book’s re-recorded holographic message, he tells Burnham he was on his way to the Bajoran exchange. Does this mean Book was going to Bajor itself? Could the Bajoran exchange be on Deep Space Nine, which is 100 percent in Bajoran space? Unclear, but cool if so!

Georgiou’s flashes

Georgiou appears to be having memories of her time as Emperor of the Terran Empire in the Mirror Universe. The first time we met this version of Georgiou was in the Mirror Universe at the very end of the episode “The Wolf Inside.” Read more about Georgiou’s flashes here.

Old ships seem to be Starfleet from “The Battle at the Binary Stars”

Many of the ships in the salvage yard appear to be similar to ships we saw during the Discovery Season 1 episode, “Battle at the Binary Stars.” Could this planet be located near Gamma Hydra near the old Klingon border?

Do Tilly and Burnham still share a room?

Starting with the Season 1 episode “Context Is For Kings,” Tilly and Burnham were roommates on the USS Discovery. While this tradition seemed to be reversed in Season 2, it was later actually not clear if they were still roommates or not. In this episode, Burnham puts Grudge in Tilly’s quarters before going after Book. Tilly calls these quarters “my quarters,” but she also seemed to know Grudge was already in the room. If Tilly and Burnham still share a room, it’s clearly out of their need to chat with each other all the time. They’re certainly high-ranking enough to have their own room, right? Then again, the USS Discovery is sleek enough, with a crew of less than 200, so it’s possible there’s still not enough space for Tilly, Burnham and now, Grudge, to have separate sleeping quarters.

Self-sealing stem bolts

Burnham and Georgiou talk about needing self-sealing stem bolts. This references a commodity frequently mentioned and sought-after on Deep Space Nine.

24th-century phaser

When Georgiou mentions she wants some “pre-2400” tech, the Orion nephew of Osira shows her a late-24th-century-era phaser. This model matches the kind we saw in First Contact, Voyager, and the later seasons of Deep Space Nine. This means it is pre-2400s, but only barely. This style of phaser comes from the 2370s. This is probably why Georgiou says that it’s not what she wants because older phasers and tech would be from the early 2300s or, her time period, the 2250s.

DISCO has a new deflector dish

The pointy, TOS–style deflector dish on the USS Discovery seems to have been replaced with a smoother, flatter version. This upgrade reflects a similar upgrade with the classic Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Bucket of badges, including a Klingon badge

In the scrapyard, Burnham examines a bucket of old badges, some of which seem to be 2250s-ear Starfleet badges. But, she does pick-up one badge that is the classic Klingon Empire emblem. What are the Klingons up-to in the 32nd Century? We still don’t know!

“Since We Served Together on the Shenzhou…”

When Saru talks to Tilly about Burnham’s rogue mission, he says “I have not felt this mistrusting of her since we served on the Shenzhou…” This references the first episode of Discovery, ever, “The Vulcan Hello,” in which Burnham attempted a mutiny in order to attack the Klingons first, before the Klingons deemed Starfleet “weak.” The mutiny didn’t go too well.

Tritanium

Georgiou and Burnham pretend to be looking for Trianium in the scrap heap. This fictional ore comes from the TOS episode, “Obsession,” though it has been referenced throughout the franchise since then. Most classic starship bulkheads are made out of titanium.

The Baryon Sweep

Admiral Vance mentions that a starship that has just returned to Starfleet HQ will be treated with “The Baryon Sweep.” This references a high-tech spaceship cleaning procedure that we first saw in the TNG episode “Starship Mine.” In Picard’s day, everyone had to leave a starship during the Baryon Sweep since the Baryon particles were deadly to organic matter. “Starship Mine” was written by Morgan Gendel, arguably more famous for his other TNG episode, “The Inner Light.”

“Another Michael Burnham”

Georgiou mentions that she remembers “another Michael Burnham” trying to comfort her in a different situation. This references the Mirror version of Burnham, who we actually never met. In the Mirror Universe, the Terran Burnham betrayed Georgiou by allying herself with Lorca. In on-screen canon, we’re led to believe that Mirror Burnham is dead. But, the Star Trek: Discovery comic book miniseries, Succession paints a different picture. Everyone assumes Mirror Burnham died in the Mirror Universe, but what Succession presupposes is, maybe she didn’t? Notably, Succession was co-written by Discovery co-producer and longtime Trek writer, Kirsten Beyer.

Stamets’ connection to Adira

In this episode, Stamets and Adira form a bond over the fact that they both were in love with someone “who died.” This references the obvious fact that Dr. Cubler — Stamets’ partner — was killed in Discovery Season 1, but came back to life in Season 2.

Poorly timed Linus beam-in references Season 2 and…maybe The Empire Strikes Back?

Just as Burnham and Book are starting to get cozy in the turbolift, Linus beams-in by accident, killing the mood. This probably references Discovery Season 2, Episode 1, “Brother,” in which Linus sneezed gross green snot all over the place during a tense moment in the turbolift. But, the way the scene plays out also will remind Star Wars fans of a very famous movie kiss in The Empire Strikes Back. Just after Han Solo and Princess Leia share an intimate moment on the Millennium Falcon, C-3PO interrupts the moment, somewhat innocently. Linus killing the mood here feels very similar. Which means, maybe Discovery’s far future, and the galaxy far, far away aren’t so distant after all; at least not when it comes to romance involving cocky space smugglers and badass women, determined to restore freedom to the galaxy…

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Star Trek: Discovery is streaming now on CBS All Access.

Countdown to Disco: The Finales

alright you fuckers listen up smart! I have just finished rewatching every Star Trek television series finale in order to deliver to you all, as promised, a countdown ranking them from worst to best, as part of my overall countdown to Star Trek Discovery or whatever the fuck I’m calling this

So please enjoy my thoughts on how each live action Star Trek ended (live action because I haven’t gotten around to watching the Animated Series yet—tragic, I know). Please remember, this is only my opinion, and done mainly for fun. Don’t get your tribbles in a twist.

#5 (AKA: The Worst One) The Original Series – “Turnabout Intruder” (1969)

Where to fucking begin with this one? Well, for starters it isn’t really a “series finale” in the sense we think of today. Series finales were only just starting to be a thing, and no one had the money to do one anyway; the show had just been cancelled after only three seasons. “Let’s get rid of Star Trek. No one will miss it,” said NBC, in a decision they never came to regret, ever.

But “Turnabout Intruder” isn’t just bad because it’s “not a finale” or whatever. It’s the worst on this list for a whole different reason, namely that Gene Roddenberry had a complete fucking meltdown after his divorce and, like a Pokémon evolution or Ichigo activating his bankai, transformed his weird sexism from a miniskirt fetish into full-blown misogyny. You might think I’m exaggerating, up until the part where Captain Kirk literally says it’s better to be dead than be a woman.

Captain Kirk’s jilted ex-girlfriend Dr. Janice Lester uses ancient alien machinery to do a Freaky-Friday body swap with him and steal his ship (because women are vengeful harpies who will take everything of value from you!!! squawks Gene, sweating furiously into his typewriter)—which isn’t all that unusual, an impostor tries to steal the Enterprise every Thursday afternoon—but Janice is never really given any motivation beyond “women are crazy, amirite??” and nothing is done with the switch. Jim-as-Janice is rendered completely helpless in their fragile feminine body and spends 90% of the episode in bed, whilst Janice-as-Jim flips back and forth between looking like they’re about to fall asleep and MAXIMUM SHATNER™ OVERACTING MODE.

Which is a shame, because this could have been at least a decent episode if not a satisfying finale. The side characters get plenty of screen time, and it’s interesting to see them contemplate outright mutiny as their captain’s actions grow more and more objectionable. But nobody ever thinks to do anything smart like ask Kirk something only he would know, the situation resolves itself without any help from them, and half the actors seem like they just want to get this over with.

The Original Series, from whence all Star Trek sprang, and which had amazing episodes like “Charlie X” and “The City on the Edge of Forever”, didn’t deserve to end on such a flaccid off-key note like a limp penis being slapped against the keys of an out-of-tune piano. And that’s why “Turnabout Intruder” goes in last place.

Next -->
