What I'm saying is they could use the spore drive to jump in time instead of needing to acquire a time crystal (and dooming Pike in the process) + build a special suit. It's the exact same plan, just the mechanism by which to jump in time is different. Anyway, doesn't matter.
And like we're seeing today, the Federation can just lie about it and refuse existence/use media to cover it up. Repeat the lien often enough it becomes the truth. On DS9 there's nobody alive that could honestly say they were there to refute the official story.
Because once again we have a reasonable belief that keeping Discovery in this time leads to the death of all life. Some chance of that not happening is better than zero chance. Where do they get hello from? Control has cut off communications, Why is this so hard to comprehend?
So let's do that we know doesn't work because we don't know if the other option doesn't work? That makes no sense.
I just watched the ToS episode where they did this a few days ago and having just googled it, turns out they do it again in the fourth film?
Coming off a recent The Wire rewatch, her reveal was way too funny
Heh. I loved in this one how Sarek and his wife were randomly just a hop away when they needed to be, while Enterprise spent 10 hours trying to catch up.
lol yeah I kinda found that amusing too. Very contrived but I guess they can explain it away with "Vulcan mind powers" (which seem to have no specific boundaries to their capabilities).
I don't think so. I think that it took as long as it needed to, but we're not seeing time represented well with those scenes. Sarek was on a beach, but we don't know if that was 1 day, 2 days, a week ago.
Actually aside oddities (mistakes) like the sun slingshot, reliable timetravel is not really available with the known technology up to the Voyager era at least. Accidental time travel and spontaneous temporal phenomena in general are indeed common enough to the point that the Starfleet has rules in place for such occurences, but intentionally going to a specific point in time is possible only with some specific temporal focus already in place (Data's head in TNG or a time traveling klingon in DS9) or long lost technology possibly relying on a resource which rarity edges on uniqueness like the time crystals or other extreme limitation. By the time reliable time travel technology is available (around 5 centuries from the current point star trek's story) several big factions already have it resulting in being like nukes in the real world (mutual assured destruction) so it's rarely employed blatantly by such forces.
We also don't know where Discovery was relative to Vulcan, it's possible they jumped much closer to it allowimg Sarek and Amanda to show up and leave before the Emterprise caught up to them.
If the scene on the beach was 1 day or 1 week ago, how did Sarek know where the Discovery would be located ahead of time to begin his travels? (Yeah I know - Vulcan mind powers).
I hope this means there is a chance for a brief cameo
