Starship running on mushrooms? Yeah, why not
The mushrooms are some omnipresent thing connecting all space and time together and giving some special super powers somehow? The force stolen you have. Integration of science fantasy into science fiction unasked for was.
Complete and utter nonsense that is an outright fabrication. What you're describing does not exist in Discovery. You're collapsing 3-4 different things into one while misunderstanding every single one of them.
~~No they're not. Nothing in Discovery is omnipresent. The closest thing is Carl which that can be argued.~~
I misread this as omniscient. The Network is slightly omnipresent but it's not sentient and makes no decision. It's merely a root system/highway. It also doesn't exist in ALL places. It only exists where life exists. The network does not have root structures in intergalactic space, as an example.
That's accurate. The Mycelial Network (the fungal root structure that permeates an extra layer of space, similar to subspace and transwarp) does connect all of time and space.
No one has super special powers. The closest is Stamets but that's because of genetic engineering. DNA from a unique species of tardigrade was taken and incorporated into Stamets' own DNA. Now he has the ability to see time a little differently due to that DNA and he has the ability to navigate the Mycelial Network. End of 'special super powers'.
From what I can tell, you took the Mycelial Network, the Tardigrade, Stamets Ability, and the jahSepp (which are a sentient race of fungus that live within the mycelial network and breakdown organic material the same way that fungus does on Earth) and then collapsed them into all one giant mess.
That's not the force and it's nowhere even close to it.
So what I’m getting from your post is that everything they said is accurate
That's a you problem, not a reality problem.
Seems more like a you problem tbh
Yawn. Low effort troll is low effort.
Blocked. Got better things to do than acknowledge your existence.
Ok guy who says something exists everywhere and isn’t omnipresent, and that there’s no superpowers except for the one guy with superpowers
Don't mind Stamets, he doesn't like people talking badly about Discovery
I’m not sure how I even did that?
I think he'll be doing a lot of not liking. That said, it's nice he sees something in it.
