A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they've seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

Forget the Space PCP. Where did they get the training?

I suppose on that moon where it rained blood?

There was heavy implication that M'Benga at least was deep in the shit during the war, and Chapel was also seemingly a veteran. Maybe hand to hand training was standard for facing off against Klingons.

I seem to recall from S1 that Chapel was more sneaky and preferred using hyposprays to incapacitate someone rather than brute force. I don't think we got any indication before this that she's had any combat experience at all.

They may be doing some slight retcon to justify future developments they seem to be setting up with the Gorn. Giving a couple of the characters some previous combat experience isn't a bad idea if they're planning on doing a bit of war this season.
