8, I liked it but the Titan thing was a bit.. Stupid? Not even knowing what is going down in your own system? And why would they need Dilithium? They don't have any Fusion reactors? Hell burn the hydrocarbons of the atmosphere! So yeah, that part was Blah. Been better story wise if they said they were from Alpha or Proxima Centauri, that would atleast explain the use of warp drive.
And another, in Ep 1 they detected 2 federation ships.. Why not jump to them?? HMM?
Is mars still on fire??
, but the rest was pretty good. Now that they have gotten the niceties out of the way, can we hit up the plot portion of our drive??

Or we can point out to everyone that it makes no sense and call the writers out for their failures.
Good luck with that.
Hasn’t solved anything going all the way back to 1966.
Points at the Sonic Movie.
Or Mars. Surely that was terraformed by the 30th century (before the burn). Hell Archer and Co. were walking on Mars with just small oxygen masks and some jackets.

You obviously haven’t been paying attention to Star Trek.
Ironically, I think the DSC writers made sure to classify Discovery so thoroughly, to the point where no one remembers the ship, to make people like you happy.
700 years after the fact, 20-something generations later, it's not going to occur to someone to look up something they don't know about. There are known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns. Discovery was an unknown unknown by that point.

noticed that, yes...As usual, the show totally misses any kind of sense of scale,
By the way, discovery hides ALL their dilithium? I would have thought a Small quantity to power their warp core wouldn’t be a huge target...
On the other hand, perhaps their warp core is incredible inefficient when compared to the Enterprise’s and they need that huge rack of crystals.
I love how effortlessly Saru lies like a rug about the crew being descendants of the originals. He doesn't bat an eyelid.

My impression is they were no longer self sufficient and Earth refused to trade, so they needed Dilithium to go outsystem.
true, didn't think of that.
Maybe they no longer exist?
Filthy belters.. 
If a research colony on Titan still existed I am not sure why full on long term colony's and a terraformed planet wouldn't.
Venus was in the midsts of terraforming, no evidence it was ever completed, as far as I know.
Explosions.
