Does Discovery’s Latest Tech Break Trek History?
Spoilers follow for Star Trek: Discovery's latest episode, "Lethe."
Last night's episode of Star Trek: Discovery (read our review here) had a cool scene where Captain Lorca (Jason Isaacs) puts Lt. Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) through his paces as the pair find themselves in a gunfight with the dreaded Klingons. As the two Starfleet officers stalk through the corridors of a Klingon ship, phaser rifles blazing, they take out a bunch of enemy soldiers with precision military skill. And then, as the strike comes to an end, the image of the last batch of Klingons wavers and they, and the ship around them, disappear. The Discovery computer then announces "hologram battle simulation complete" as we realize that Lorca and Tyler have been in exactly that -- some kind of holodeck training program.
