So.. The debris field..
Guess the navigational deflector ... Phasers, torpedoes were broken?

Or that they couldn't use phasers to vaporize the methane before it impacted the Shields. My other question would be doesn't the 32nd Century version of the discovery have shuttlecraft? IE they could have just blown the escape craft free from docking airlock, and had multiple shuttles waiting; or hell, why wouldn't the shovels in the 32nd century have a transporter array themselves? The discovery shuttles of the 22nd century had built-in Transporters already. So what the 32nd Century shuttles got a downgrade?
Lieutenant Willa appeared about 20 minutes into the episode, she informed Burnham that Vance wanted to talk to her after Burnham and Tilly talk following the President’s speech to the new cadets, and Willa is wearing the same kind of dress uniform as Tilly and the non-Captain Disco crew.
Nah. The dramanator was working fine.
Although I understand the story reasons for this, I don't understand why it was this way in the ST universe.
They have one escape vessel. It can house 9 people safely (there were 10 crewmembers on that station and 2 beamed over, making it 12, and 3 stayed behind to catch the next trip). Why couldn't the escape vessel carry those additional three people?

They'll be installed on Tuesday.
Man, if a get a job with Starfleet Engineering, I'm asking for Tuesdays off.
Yeah, but they'll just get you to make a quick run around the block for a press junket.
Still bothers me from season 3 that there was no progress in propulsion in nearly 1,000 years. Are we still getting around the same way we did 1,000 years ago?
Horse and carriage was the fastest mode of transportation on land for 4000 years. When you've reached reliable and ludicrous superluminal speeds in the Start Trek universe, what's the drive to fix something that isn't broken? There's a need in the 32nd century after the depletion of dilithium and the Burn, there wasn't one in the previous millennium.
My guess is that propulsion technology wasn't even a thing when everyone was learning time travel in high school.
If they try go any faster they would turn into Salamanders
Seemed to me that the Galaxy was known, that random independent couriers knew about and could (with appropriate resources) use transwarp tunnels and slipstream drives.
Inventions since Discovery's time to improve speeds and mentioned in the first couple of episodes of season 3
* dilithium recrystallizers
* quantum slipstream (requires benamite)
* Tachyon solar sails (relatively slow compare with warp, despite doing Bajor to Cardassia really quickly)
* Something trilithium powered (which I suspect is rather dangerous)
* Artificial wormholes (which destroy light years of space)
* Transwarp conduits (which have a lot of debris in)
There's evidence the Federation has detailed knowledge and (pre burn at least) presence in the entire Galaxy, even with dilithium supplies drying up (they were drying up before the Burn). With dilithium, hopping tens of thousands of light years in a few hours/days is quite normal, so speeds are vastly increased over the 24th century.
We must have been doing something right as a civilization if classrooms would have quantum discriminators in every desk by the 31st century and around the time of The Burn.
For better or worse, things like these solidify the effect that Discover is kinda NuTrek: The Series no matter in which timeline it is set.
Because there were never any quips with Kirk, Spock and McCoy
I was really thinking much about the opening sequence in general.
