Blinking can Defeat 32nd Century Holograms on Star Trek Discovery Stupidest Scene in Sci fi History

[whitworths]

And for her next trick, she will destroy a Borg cube by holding her finger and thumb close to her eye and squishing it like a bug.

[juappdev]

The thing that got me was how did she figure out this bug even existed if she's only been there like 5 minutes. She should work in QA.

Who in the world thought it would be a good idea to defeat highly advance Holograms by just blinking.
How does anyone writes this and not go, "wow, this is really frickin stupid? Let's not do this."

[weareorigin]

I just rapidly blinked....and 5+ people near me disappeared. This is so powerful.
(They walked away from me, thinking I'm a weirdo)

This is like someone from 1100 AD dropping into 2020 and knowing how to crack a MySQL database password. Philippa is a genius but I doubt their security is that bad.

[goos]

Science mumbo jumbo is the new “magic.”

[brianhunter]

Commander: blinking shuts down holograms
VOYAGER EMH: Am I a joke to you?

[uberneanderthal]

kurtzman: "do you have any special talents?"
actress: "...uh, i can blink really fast"
kurtzman: " i can use that"

[crozraven]

I refused to believe this people have interstellar techs with this kind stupid weakness. Not even IRL holograms do this kind of stupidity.

[michaelscott]

TOS: *hyper intelligent supercomputer needs to be given logical fallacies and philosophical conundrums to be broken*
STD: "Haha blinking make pictures bye-bye."

[markmallone]

I wanted to see the doc from voyager scoffing at the end.

Edit - No complaints for Benjamin though.

[usprulse]

lol 900+ years in the future and holo gets disrupted by blinking xD

Dint tilly or some one mention that ships have holo-bulkheads or something? imagine some one blinking and the ship loses it's hull/bulkhead xD

[MagnusSkiptonLLC]

I think I know how this came about:

Writer: We need a way for Georgiou to defeat the holograms.
Kurtzman: *Wipes ass on a piece of paper*
Writer: GENIUS!

[We_Are_Borg_]

I bet the Borg in this universe are defeated by twerking.

[MrValz]

I rapidly blink before any episode of STD to induce a seizure so I don't have to watch it.

[Paulafan]

That scene would be for laughs in The Orville because they would know how silly that is. Then again, actual Star Trek people worked on The Orville.

[Plush.Hunter]

1. How did she know?
2. Why and how does this work?
Seriously, this was one of the stupidest episodes of STD.

[garrettbodwell]

Boy, I hope some enemy vessel out there doesn't use its lights to flash the same way. It would be a pity to see the holographic ships shut off and their crews just float away...

1990s-2000s Trek hack writer faced with story problem: types in some random technobabble.

2020s Trek hack writer faced with story problem: gormless blinking.

[LordRambo]

Cant wait for them to destroy the entire Q Continuum with a smug retort
