Spoilers Season 3 episode 3 'People of Earth' promo

I hope that we're not gonna see Michael with more time travel shenanigans to make the future better, cause that's what that line sounds like and I actually liked her for once in the first episode.
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!

Then it shouldn't have blown up since the warp core would be in the secondary hull. Or are warp cores kept in both hulls in the 31st century?
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.
 
Why is Georgiou called Commander in the last episode, but wearing an Admiral's badge in the preview for the upcoming episode?

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. :)

There's a guy who sells them on a corner lot.
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).
 
This should be a good one. We got Burnham’s arrival and intro to the future, we got Disco’s arrival and struggle to get eyes/ears on the universe, now they’re together and we can start to get a look at where things really stand out there. Looking forward to it
 
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.

Since these are different uniforms than what the other group of presumably 32nd century Starfleet people are wearing, there’s probably at least two factions of Federation military.
