Admiral Kathleen Holdo Won't Let Pike Save His Ship and Does it Herself on Star Trek Discovery

[Yusuke_Denton]

They should build the whole ship out of those doors.

[dramonmaster]

Why would a blast door have a window in it though?

[steveleeart]

They had all those robots on the hull, bring one down to pull the lever!

[stryletz]

I still don't understand how a single blast door saved the ship from a matter/anti-matter explosion. If they're that good they should surround the warp core with them, never lose a ship again to a containment breech.

[FortoFight]

They even established that Pike couldn't die yet 'cause his fate was fixed, and yet she's like "nah, I'll do it anyway".

[Wagoo]

Couldn't stop laughing when I saw that pacman bite out of the hull, when Pike just watched through a window.. and they couldn't come up with some rope to pull the internal lever

[birdmonster]

Okay So that was a badass way to go. No Doubt. But

Why was there no release on the other side of the door?

How did that one door deflect an entire Torpedo blast? I mean, I get that it's a blast door but really, That one door blocked an entire torpedo blast? An entire section of the ship is taken out sure. But Pike is on the other side of that door and he's fine.

Why couldn't they just beam her out? Not site-To-site, just beam her out of the room and onto a transporter pad.

Couldn't they find something. Like maybe their shirts? To tie around the handle and pull from the other side?

What about those repair Droid they popped out? Couldn't they have one those pull the lever?

They had 15minutes to think of solutions. I've had about 5 or so. It was a cool scene. But it just feels like they didn't try and think things through.

[steveleeart]

Wouldn’t there be emergency levers on both sides of the door?

[braveintofuture]

Pike tried to order her and than she sacrifices herself for one ship and he's ok with it? Inverse chain of command?

[MichaelMacGyver]

Couldn't they have just tied their jackets together and used them as a makeshift rope to pull the lever from outside the room?
These are supposed to be the best and brightest in Starfleet???

[commodorerook]

Funny how they couldn't beam her out, site to site transfer style. But glad she is gone, another horrible character.

I LOVE Star Trek Discovery. The admiral was one of my favorite characters. She was a complete and total badass 24/7. Even though I love Discovery, killing off the admiral, especially in the manner of which they did, was a stupid decision. But then I later realized that her being a badass was ultimately why she was killed off. She’s too much of a strong character to move forward with Discovery and too much of a strong character to mesh with strange new worlds... it somewhat reminds me of Filippa and how/why she was killed off. Without such strong characters, uncertainty grows leaving little to mystery.

There's one fatal flaw to this scenario (well several actually). If one blast door worked and the other didn't, and the Admiral said she could manually close the screwed up door, then why didn't they open up the good door while Cornwell manually closed the other, then she exits the good door before they close it again!??! No death. Second point: if they can beam Spock from his shuttle, even though the Enterprise still had its shields up, why can't they beam the Admiral to safety after she manually closed the screwed up blast door. Again, no unnecessary death. Actually it doesn't contribute anything to the story, since we're not going to see Enterprise in Season 3 of Discovery, So why waste an actor on a needlessly melodramatic sub plot.

should cut in the shot of the giant fucking explosion that sends a shock wave all the way across the battlefield. then cut back to pick stood in the turbolift with some elevator music playing.

also, i just noticed, that room, it looks like the same conference room from from the previous episode, because the show is cheap so they just re used what they had. but also theres only that one door in and out of the room from what i can see. and its a different door in the last episode, so that you can still see pike through the door as it closes i guess. but yeah. so the only way to that conference room at the front of the ship is via a turbolift? hilarious.

[Pondimus_Maximus]

Since Pike’s fate is now etched in stone, he could have pulled the lever and survived. The Napoleon Dynamite Time Crystals said so! That’s the power of math, people!

[doppelhelixes]

I just love how durable transparent aluminum is - they should build compleate ships, or at least shuttles out of that stuff - this thing never cracks!

[jediwatts]

It's a Captain's duty to go down with his/her ship she basically told pike "fuck you the sacrificial move is mine"

[lanesteele]

Can I just say how irritating it is that composer Jeff Russo seems to use the Alexander Courage fanfare all the time when Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner and Dennis McCarthy used it only for special moments (the opening, ending, Spock and Kirk dying, launch of the Enterprise-B, etc.).

[brianlindee]

This is a admiral that should have had children that way she would have left something of her self behind so in The end it wouldn't have seemed like suicide than sacrifice she just to the blast how does that help The ship

[REAPER]

Like, since when do we sacrifice Admirals for Captains? besides the fact the "blast door" protected the ship?
