Sounds like it, 'I don't like this future, so lets go back and fix it!'
Since time travel is outlawed, they become enemies of the Federation and the chase begins..off to Borath they go!

Flying saucer is a primary hull on it's lonesome.
Or they become the head part of tallnecks in Horizon Zero Dawn... Go look you'll see
Supposedly matter/antimatter explosions radiate for light years and can cause problems first sentient life on planets if they occur close to a planetary system.
In other words it wouldn't matter where the warp reactor is on the ship; as nothing within a huge area is going to survive the breach.
Star Trek's never adhered to that before. The Enterprise D's warp core blew up while in orbit of a planet, with the saucer section separated but not far from it. The only consequence was the saucer crashed on the planet, but otherwise everything was fine. Hell, in Trek XI they used the detonation of multiple warp cores to propel the ship from a black hole, with the only damage to the ship being a crack in the bridge's windshield. Which admittedly should have been a bigger deal then they treated it in the movie. Hell, if a matter/antimatter explosion is so devastating, why even have ejecting a warp core as an option? It sounds as though realistically, the ship wouldn't have a hope of avoiding destruction anyway.
There a reason why we suddenly expect Disco to be scientifically accurate in an area where the rest of the franchise has never been?
I see no reason to adhere to anything when the rest of Trek never has. Well said.
They did mention that dilithium suddenly went inert. I doubt that the ships would have had any warning. The warp cores likely detonated instantaneously.
Because she can.
I'm sure the explaination will be forth coming.
Yeah, I suspect this is going to be a nice little info dump of an episode.
Of course, I also suspect that there will be a lot of the usual Michael Burnham "hate" from those who don't like her. Because in addition to saving all the things, she's most likely going to know all the things too. So oh boy are they going to hate that.
Anyway, I love Georgiou, but she's the least of the things I'm interested in. What IndieWire said the other week...
Book is joined in later episodes by a couple of other new additions: Blu del Barrio’s Adira and Ian Alexander’s Gray, whose presence is yet another welcome step forward in what’s always been an inclusive franchise, but also provide some of the biggest emotional fireworks of Season 3’s early episodes. Book, Adira, and Gray are all characters who are trying to do the right thing in a universe that’s upside down and in which they may not even know where to begin doing the right thing. Sound familiar?
The expansive visuals of the first episode begin to retreat into more familiar territory, but the emotions end up riding even higher, especially by the end of Episode 4. What’s intriguing about this whole new world of storytelling possibilities is that, unlike “Star Trek: Voyager,” which plunged a Starfleet crew into similarly unknown terrain, these characters aren’t necessarily setting out on “a journey home.” No, they made a choice to be in 3188, and it seems like they’re going to stay there. What matters isn’t going back from whence they came as much as bringing their values with them into this uncertain new present. And that could lead to many more emotional adventures ahead.
...Adira and Grey is where I'm focused. Adira in episode three and Gray in four.
EDIT: And I want to see Rocket Girl's hair too, of course.

I’m just hoping for solid storytelling.
Only 9,999 quatloos (taxes and licencing fees extra, down payment of 500 quatloos due at signing, colours may differ from the image in the promotional literature, dilithium consumption may vary based on flying speed, direction, duration and the presence of ion storms. See local dealers for details).
New people for "People of Earth"...
Well, Adira and a new person, Captain Ndoye.
Trekmovie has more.
Pre-rating of 8 for this episode. Last week I had a pre-rating of 5 based solely on the preview images and came away with a 7 after watching it. I'm going in with an 8 this week.
Hesitant to say obviously, but this may indeed be 32nd century Starfleet. If so, I'm good.
Or this could be V'draysh too, who knows. And then again V'draysh and Federation/Starfleet are maybe one in the same...
So anyway, new people of "People of Earth."
EDIT: And a see a comment over there on Adira's badge...
EDF, Earth Defense Force, perhaps.
