No, it was stupid. It showed, that crew is incompetent. They don't know interface of their own systems and can't orient on it without help. You do know what is where in your Microsof Word without sighs, do you? And that problem wouldn't even be happening on a ship with physical buttons. You know, like the Enterprise from TOS. Also, crew should know standard Federation lang.
Not really. It was UT malfunction that made it seem like everyone was talking a different language when they were still using the language they always do.
I would like that. I would certainly watch it. These actors and actresses certainly spoke their lines almost fluently, which speaks volumes about their commitment to delivering their lines.
Kudos to Doug Jones (Saru) for near perfect Mandarin (albeit short). Meanwhile, SMG's (Burnham) Mandarin is totally off and incomprehensible (although TBF her line is much longer tho). I think Jones really has a knack in foreign languages.
For Trek purists who don't (pun intended) understand: this was a story about over dependence on technology. It was clever. "I'm a science fiction show dammit. Not scripture."
The idea of the scene is good, but the example you give is bad. It is invariable that in case of malfunction of universal translators, it will sound like in this scene. The Purists, of which I am a part, rather criticize the stupidity of the scientific theories, based on the wind that Discovery has laid for us since season 1. This is not a good scene that will forgive all the Hard Science, which was part of the Star Trek identity, that they put in the trash. I want as proof their stupidity concerning the last episode (13), or L'imperatrice Georgou proposes to create a super-nova by accelerating its process.

Okay, that was gold. After the virus compromised the translators, made every speak different languages. Glad to see outer space have their languages and we have all ours. But it further golden when it started.
Which brings up a major flaw in all ST series; when a species (Klingon) curses at someone in Klingon. Everyone hears the curse in Klingon. Not possible with the UT. Also, a little deeper; on DS9 a crewman speaks Spanish. With UT in operation, humans that do not speak the language should hear their native language (or as we know it English for US broadcast purposes.)

I have to say, as someone who speaks and reads English, babbles and reads Spanish, and is vaguely familiar with other romance and European languages, between the language switching and the Spanish subtitles and me translating Spanish back into English, this sure messed with my head.

"it's a spider. I hate spiders." "We shouldn't assign it an anthropomorphic designation" somebody in the writing team doesn't understand what "anthropomorphic" means.
I believe they meant as in assigning a human understanding to the pest of the sphere. Like a spider in your house. Not that the spider is human. The anthropomorphic analogy is to a human understanding of the problem, not the problem itself. Think outside the box man
@@f.b.i.8071 Or maybe Michael isn't answering what is obviously a joke and is instead just plain stating that there's no clear reason to assume that the sphere has any kind of intelligence or personality.
I guess not. The UT mutes your own speech and translate it to the audiences language. The malfunction of the UT is that it translates and into all kind of different languages. Also Pike is not really a german surname.
It's a well-done funny scene, but I think it would've been better if the different languages were voiced over, and the crew looked like they were trying to talk in their regular language. A malfunctioning translator may misinterpret what they say, but it wouldn't make them speak differently. Just a thought.
This was literally me in Final Fantasy 11 online 20 years ago trying to communicate between English, Tagalog, and Japanese to setup raid time for entire server.
There was a scene in a "Red Dwarf" episode where Rimmer orders, "Transmit the following message on all frequencies and in all languages. Including Welsh."
I love how Pike tells Saru "baruch haba lemigdal bavel": hebrew for "welcome to the tower of Babilon". Nice touch,even if Anson Mount's accent is super American.
Starfleet is full of overachievers. It’s hard to believe not one other person other than saru learned another language. Even with translators. Other than that tho I love this scene. One of my favorite discovery scenes probably.
I wonder if anybody could work out a full transcript of all the lines spoken here in their native writing. The only languages I could detect and understand to varying degrees were Spanish and Mandarin between Saru and Michael, and then some sprinkling of French, German, and Italian.
I love Disco but this scene makes no sense since all the people speaking English would still be *speaking* English so they'd be able to understand each other. The conceit was that the U.T. made everyone speak verbally in a new language.
The only problem is that each person had to actually speak what they were saying. Meaning if they were speaking Russian, their lips were actually moving in the correct way to pronounce each Russian word, not in the language they actually knew.
Wait... I always assumed the humans on board all spoke english and the universal translators were mostly to translate alien languages to english so everyone had a lingua franca on board the ship. Is this what language each crew member is actually speaking/ their native languages, or is the translator just translating what they are saying to a random language they don't necessarily speak like german, french, spanish, ect?
Well, if you become dependent on the universal translator and it broke, you should just default to the language you learned during childhood which makes it interesting that none of the humans reverted to English yet when Saru got partial translator functionality operational, he said those who know Earth English should be fine (seems to me that they showed no one on the bridge knew Earth English...).
Désolée mais les répliques en français étaient correctes. C'était juste l'accent qui me faisait confondre « du » et « de », je devais bien écouter pour remarquer la différence. Also, I did this in French just because I could. 😏 And also because a good few others pointed out that the lines were correct.
The multiple languages was enjoyable to watch haha. But that aside, when Michael said 6.39 by 10 to the 20th power kg, I knew that there was not a proper physicist advisor on the show. Seriously, just quote that in Earth masses and it would be fine. Given Starfleet is an exploration vessel they would use units that we astronomers use. For a mass of this magnitude quoting it in kg is a little awkward, she should've said 1/1000 Earth Masses (but more massive than your average asteroid). Sorry to nitpick, but I'm an astronomer. I enjoy the show but this part just got me a little tickled. It would be like quoting distances in a solar system in km rather than in AU (they do quote galactic distances correctly in light years, which is sensible).
@@lugenccesaire1905 That's a valid point. But this is Starfleet (a scientific organization founded on Earth) which would've (and should've had) a standard system of galactic units that all members of Starfleet, regardless of species, would've known. And this should be based on galactic standards, so for coordinates (and distances) it would be the center of the Milky Way (and in astronomy that's the galactic coordinates). It's true that Earth is an arbitrary reference point when it's not the only inhabited planet, so then all Earth units, including the SI/metric system, would've been arbitrary. In that sense, why use kg or meters or any other metric unit (or non-metric like pounds, miles, oz, etc) at all when it's Earth-relative? The reason why I point out the astronomical inaccuracy in using kg here as opposed to Earth masses is that galactic objects like planets and stars have very big masses, distances, etc that have to be quoted as "10 to the power of ...". Using an earth mass for planets or a solar mass for a star makes it easier to not say "10 to the power of ..." everytime. Likewise with distances we use, depending on how far things are, astronomical units (within a solar system), light years, parsecs, kiloparsecs (within a galaxy) and megaparsecs. All these are non-SI units (not meters) that can be converted to SI units but are just super huge. Space is huge, and people often underestimate just how big space is. SI units, which are really awesome, just become irrelevant when you're talking about the universe because space is too big. If they had had an astronomer consulting for the show, this mistake wouldn't been made. Hope that clears up why I've pointed this out?

It would be like quoting distances in a solar system in km rather than in AU (they do quote galactic distances correctly in light years, which is sensible).
I always thought it was bc humans aren’t the only species in the galaxy so using the earth as a pinpoint just confuses things
@@lugenccesaire1905 That's a valid point. But this is Starfleet (a scientific organization founded on Earth) which would've (and should've had) a standard system of galactic units that all members of Starfleet, regardless of species, would've known. And this should be based on galactic standards, so for coordinates (and distances) it would be the center of the Milky Way (and in astronomy that's the galactic coordinates). It's true that Earth is an arbitrary reference point when it's not the only inhabited planet, so then all Earth units, including the SI/metric system, would've been arbitrary. In that sense, why use kg or meters or any other metric unit (or non-metric like pounds, miles, oz, etc) at all when it's Earth-relative? The reason why I point out the astronomical inaccuracy in using kg here as opposed to Earth masses is that galactic objects like planets and stars have very big masses, distances, etc that have to be quoted as "10 to the power of ...". Using an earth mass for planets or a solar mass for a star makes it easier to not say "10 to the power of ..." everytime. Likewise with distances we use, depending on how far things are, astronomical units (within a solar system), light years, parsecs, kiloparsecs (within a galaxy) and megaparsecs. All these are non-SI units (not meters) that can be converted to SI units but are just super huge. Space is huge, and people often underestimate just how big space is. SI units, which are really awesome, just become irrelevant when you're talking about the universe because space is too big. If they had had an astronomer consulting for the show, this mistake wouldn't been made. Hope that clears up why I've pointed this out?
1:16 So normally when he waves his hands and says "boom!", an intelligent sentence comes out?
I understood he was trying to express more universally, trying to circumvent the babel problem.
I took that more as "he was smart enough to figure out that blabbering wasn't going to get him anywhere" BOOM is pretty universal
Love the fact that they subtitles aren’t in English
Saru is such a fucking G.
would have been funny to see them mouth english but the sounds coming out is the mixed up languages.
The captain speaks French at 0:52 but that's not french at 1:07 (and I don't know if it's him doing the talking, but it's not french at 1:22 either).
So.. Cpt. Pike's native language is Spanish. (Otherwise he'd speak in English of course)
I LOVE SARU

This is the Suru season 3 should have got.
