    She was asking why the yield was so high because of her supposition, but he tells her that it was because that was what was needed by his calculations, and he wasn’t 100% sure even that that would have been enough.

    The not being sure it was enough is the new information. If he wasn’t sure it would work, it would give a reason why they didn’t leave it up to a remote detonation.

      I don’t accept this premise

          or, perhaps, I don’t care for you attitude, and you’re blocked.

          take your pettiness and silly fighting elsewhere. this is a place to have fun, not start silly arguments.

                People are allowed to have a discussion and expect a serious one. People are also allowed to be upset. However both @Kolanaki@yiffit.net and you have crossed the line a bit here on Rule 2. Not enough to warrant any actual action from a moderator but enough for me to say that y’all should really just split and have this conversation tomorrow if you want. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t like doing mod stuff. I don’t want to here.

                Hope y’all both have a good day or evening, depending on your time zone, and that things go well for both.

            I too specifically recall Tuvoc saying ‘and I wasn’t sure that would be enough’… we can postulate that this ‘new information’ is the reason they didn’t try a remote detonation. That being said, the idea of trying a remote detonation was never discussed in either episode. Either a) they didn’t think of that option or b) they considered that option but decided to stay in the delta quadrant to ensure the array was destroyed.

            I am leaning toward a), because for b) to be a reasonable explanation then we should have heard something about why a remote detonation wouldn’t work. Saying ‘not sure if it was enough to destroy the array’ is still a leap away from ‘and so we had to stay in the delta quadrant to see if it worked’
