Ok, yeah, that's a fair point.
One other thing I forgot to mention is my last post was how much I got a kick out of everyone trying out the new gear, and the upgrades to the ship. Linus popping up randomly all over the ship was hilarious. He's quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. He doesn't get a ton of screen time, but what he does get is usually a highlight of the episode.

Absolutely shocking if they went down this road - too close to real world pseudoscience racist claptrap.
Which according to the Admiral, nobody from Star Fleet has had the time to explore.
Burnham managed to get three "black boxes" from different locations across the galaxy.
And discovered that the exact time each ship was destroyed, was slightly different.
We've been led to believe by the episodes so far, that everyone believed it was instantaneous across the galaxy.
Not really sure why a couple of folks decided to deride my original question.
Well, IF "Calypso" is/ will become canon, then someone has to go back (roughly a thousand ys), then leave Discovery for the crew in the 32rd century to find.
That might literally be the greatest Star Trek idea of all time!
I’m not that keen on Linus as recurring comedy character, but it would be neat to have both the captan and first officer be alien-looking aliens.
Aw, I love Linus.
I used to think this might be a possibility until they upgraded Discovery to the Discovery-A. Now I think "Calypso" takes place in an alternate timeline.
I think it's heading in a different direction - Saru was right that her hesitation to be his number one was a massive red flag. I think after a year on her own, she's realised that the tight structure of Starfleet just isn't for her any more.
It's hard to say her insubordination was wrong in this episode. She saved Book, freed some slaves and recovered crucial data. If she had followed orders, Book would probably be dead. She did the right thing and got results.
I don't really see her happily sitting back and being the by-the-book officer Saru and the admiral want and expect. And that's fine, not everyone can work in a rigid hierarchical structure.
The lesson Michael learned was she did nothing wrong. It was the theme of Season 1's ending where it was Mutiny 2.0.
Do what though? This is what she's always been like. The only real difference is her actions at the Binary Stars didn't quite pay off - but if Georgiou had dodged Tkuvma and Michael had stunned him, she might have been the hero again. Instead she was hung out to dry in a show trial and blamed for an interstellar war that wasn't her fault. The Klingons wanted an excuse for war, and Tkuvma gave them one.
I think it's too early to write her off and the producers deserve the benefit of the doubt. We're only getting half the story. I think they'll be looking to subvert our expectations - right now we think it's heading one way, with Michael breaking the rules and being punished for it.
Let's see.
I think it take place in the same universe but is the result changing plans. If we see the Calypso Disco again it will have the A.
Well, your scenario is off. For one thing, they don't know what caused the Burn. So, I can see this from both sides.
From the Federations point of view, it's something that happen over a century ago. They're don't like the new status quo but they're used to it. They grew up with it already being normal. So, the daily stuff is going to take precedent.
Michael on the other hand is shock by the change. It's not what she grew up with. To her, it basically just happened. Not the Burn, but the shock associated with it! She doesn't have that sense of it being normal and the acceptance of the status quo and the feeling it won't happen again are not ingrained.
I can understand both points of view.
And, yes, historians have looked at the cause of WW2 and have had ideas about preventing other wars. Look at the Marshall Plan after the War. (I just you said WW1, but historians study that too).
I don't buy that the Federation didn't fully investigate the Burn over the course of the century though. But, I suppose they were just so busy surviving. But we saw that two people in a freighter could get key information.
But I do understand the different reactions to it.

I'm not 100% convinced. I think he said that to put her on the defensive. Make her feel less special. She takes pride in her attitude and he say's it's genetic. We know that it struck home because her reaction was, "I'm extreme even by Terran standards." She was on the defensive there looking for a way to maintain her view of things.
I don't know if that was meant to be the truth. But, it could be. We know that there is the eyesight and light issue. So, there seems to be some genetic differences. But the Mirror Universe stories from DS9 show perfectly normal (by our standards) humans. In fact, Empire fell because it changed as a whole.
Well, I guess we'll find out sometime!
