A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they've seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

Have we ever heard of Lanthanites? Apparently they

spoilerlive such a long time they get bored and they are hiding on Earth in the 22nd century.

I wonder if they know about the El-Aurians or Q.

I wouldn't be surprised. But I love how they just created a Guinan for SNW.

I have the feeling Pike’s Constitution class ship wasn’t the first active-duty Starfleet ship named Enterprise Pelia sat foot on.

Pelia could have been working with Starfleet during the 2150s and she assisted Archer and his crew on the NX-01 Enterprise at some point prior to its decommissioning in 2161.

Pelia being around in the 22nd century also brings up the opportunity for references to ENT in SNW.

I'm pretty sure they're new to Trek! They don't yet have a page on Memory Alpha, though I imagine there will be by the end of the day.

I also keep wondering about

spoilerthe El Aurians and Q in regard to this new race. If they've been there through a long stretch (at least?) of human history, some of these individuals must've encountered others at some point.
We could get all manner of fun new backstory bits this way.
