My theory on the Breen, which will probably be proven wrong by Thursday:
The Breen homeworld has an eccentric orbit around its primary, giving it extremely long, harsh seasons. The Breen have evolved to be able to take two forms, each adapted to a different climatic stage.
The ordinary humanoid stage is adapted to the long summer, which is temperate, while the fluidic/gelatinous form is adapted to the long winter, when the planet Breen is a frozen wasteland. What they're made of I don't know, but it's something that's stable at subzero temperatures and breaks down or evaporates at higher temperatures.
The shift to summer happened only a relatively short time before the 24th century, and it's still summer in the 32nd. This explains the contradictory accounts of planet Breen by outsiders; the tales of the frozen wasteland are out of date.
The winter form is stronger and more resilient than the summer form in the right conditions, but can't survive in normal class-M environments. At some point, the Breen learned to be able to shift between the forms at will, and decided their winter form was superior. They developed their suits to keep themselves cold, just so they can stay in their "superior" form all the time.
Perhaps the ship we saw in "Mirrors" is an environment just for dealing with other species, or perhaps they keep their ships in class-M conditions and stay in their suits all the time out of a cultural imperative.
Eventually, maybe with L'ak's help, they'll learn that neither form is superior, merely adapted to different conditions.

I have to say, a season long The Chase sequel is exactly what I would have ordered for any Trek series at some point and I'm stoked that it's going to be Discovery
let's fly *insert Indiana Jones theme for good measure*

I’m astoundingly blessed by God to have played Captain Michael Burnham and to have taken part in a legacy alongside an extraordinary cast, phenomenal crew and remarkable writing team. To our most supportive partners at CBS Studios and Paramount+, who insisted on making television history, I’m deeply grateful. I’m also deeply grateful for the creative collaboration with our showrunners Michelle Paradise and Alex Kurtzman, as well as Olatunde Osunsanmi and the incomparable team of executive producers. I will never forget how it felt to stand together as a show family, cradling the heirloom of Trek with all those from the franchise at large and with the fans. The fans welcomed us into their hearts as we launched a new iteration of Trek and an entire entertainment platform, and we’ll never forget it. 65 episodes later, here’s to the entire company of Star Trek: Discovery, to the show and its fifth and final season, to its beloved fans and to all those who envision a better future. Let’s fly…

Discovery Thoughts
I am personally devastated that it's Disco's last season... But!
It will always hold a special place in my heart.
Tumblr media
I spent a few years avoiding it and watching TNG reruns on the BBC instead (because of the paywall) but then I decided that life is too short not to watch every Star Trek there is - I'm still working my way through the movies - and I subscribed.
Tumblr media
And for a while, it was epic. Then Prodigy was cancelled, and axed from the network entirely. And then it was Discovery's and Lower Deck's turn.
Tumblr media
And at least we'll still have Strange New Worlds. We need to be grateful for that, and for the fact that Star Trek exists at all. I couldn't - no - I wouldn't want to - imagine a world where Star Trek in all its myriad forms didn't exist.
Tumblr media
And then there's fanfiction, both to be written and to be read. It's truly wonderful.
Tumblr media
Even Discovery is coming to its curtain call, it'll always live on in our hearts. The haters are always going to be lurking out there, but what Trek wasn't without its faults? Nothing is perfect. But to me, Trek is the one thing that comes closest.
Tumblr media
Fly swiftly, Discovery.

Due to a current boycott of Paramount and Paramount+ I'm watching this from a pirate cove and I'd encourage you to do the same and without further ado live blogging of Star Trek Discovery and as always 🌟SPOILERS🌟
Season 5 Episode 4
I feel like I've seen this alien before looks like the Hunters from DS9
The alien looks like a fisherman from Maine lol
I looked it up the Annari from VOY I also liked their fridge like 2377 ship version
Well there goes the Annari
How big was the emerald chain if a delta quadrant species was arming them that or peoples from the delta might have just moved before The Burn idk
Ooooooooo Rayner went to the captain ready room he in big trouble
They call a listening device a bug but in this case it's literally a bug
Oh stuck together it seems classic trek move
What the uniforms.... TIME TRAVEL?!
Oh this is a different trek classic episode type altogether I've been fooled
San Francisco oh wow this is gonna be fun hehehehe
Krenim time bug so it wasn't a listening device after all
Temporal War mentioned
God damn Discovery been through a lot huh?
Don't turn back on the Breen? No don't sell technology to the Breen
I love that Stamets is unaffected by time travel it's such a cool idea
"What?! Nooooooooo" I love Stamets
I also like of Reno has been in two time travel occurrences already helpful in both too
"Always a silver lining" lmao
Two Burnham at once I don't know if the universe can handle it
Oh my
This is real far into Discovery past
Ah good old Linus
Oof past Burnham still has trust issues that got solved over multiple seasons sadly this is season 1 Burnham not yet hit full character development
Vulcan nerve pinch haven't seem that in a minute
If Burnham was in a rpg video game by season 5 she'd have 100% in speech
What not past Burnham being the biggest challenge to saving Discovery
That was a good speech from Rayner probably my favorite moment from this character so far
Well that was great definitely my favorite so far this season it felt different from most DIS episodes and was really good

Hey everybody! Sorry for the late post, it’s been a hot and wild week lmao. Anyways, regarding Spoilers for s5 for Discovery, I’ll be tagging any and all posts with s5 content with the below tags:
- disco spoilers
- disco s5
- disco s5 spoilers
I will do my best to make sure all posts are tagged appropriately, so if you want to block those tags, please do so now! I’ll also try to tag them with other tags if those are more common/end up also being used, but for now, that’s what I’ll be using. if I mess up on any, please let me know ASAP since I want to make sure it’s a spoiler free zone for people who haven’t watched it yet.
Happy trekking!

catching up on Discovery s4 and gosh... i have my criticisms (mostly of the first two seasons) but it's soooooo satisfying to watch s4 ep1 and see Michael grow in her emotions and confidence so much to really be the Captain and be herself for the first time not under someone else's influence or in some universe ending crisis and Sonequa plays her growth masterfully. every time i see Michael smile or tell a joke i just can't help but feel unadulterated joy that yes! she's come so far!

Oh a macguffin follow-the-clues plot for disco s5 that feels way too close to the Star Wars sequel finale movie? Meh. Not thrilled with that as the plot.
