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.

    To be fair, despite what sci-fi will tell you frostbite is not a concern if you’re jumping into space without a suit, so the fact that they were frozen at all is artistic license. You’ll die from hypoxia long before you even begin to get chilly.

      Normally I’d agree with you wholeheartedly, but didn’t the episode explicitly state and show that the ships were amidst a gargantuan field of interstellar ice?

        The problem is mainly that there’s no atmosphere to actually conduct heat away from your body. There being an ice field doesn’t change that much.
