First Uhura said destroy it, then she said release the deuterium, then she gave the order to fire photon torpedoes like that’s even a thing she has the authority do. Make up your minds, writers.
When I watched it, it looked like Uhura was so eager to fix the situation that she yelled to fire the torpedos, but I noticed right after she said if that Pike gave a nod to the crewman to approve the order. Uhura was just a little excited.
One of my favourite things about the Pike-light episodes we’ve been getting is Mount’s ability to still do all the acting he needs to do just with these little background reactions. Last week was a great example, this scene was another one. Such a charismatic actor.
I thought she said to release the deuterium from the nacelles (of the Enterprise), but to destroy the mining station (as @[email protected] points out, Pike confirmed the latter order).
Hydrogen burning would be bad too right, (the frieball seems large, how much oxygen was on the station?).but burning the D in the explosion is bad too right
