    “Inertial dampeners have failed.”

    Many times someone will say this while the ships is performing combat maneuvers at several hundred kilometers per second.

    If that were true, everyone onboard would instantly become “chunky salsa.” (Obscure Trek-related quote, for anyone that can place it.)

      There are a lot of things to criticize about Discovery. How someone could choose to pick the spacesuits evades me.

  THEY DO HAVE THEM! Every once in a while a trek will show seatbelts and then proceed to forget about them later.
