A very touching episode. The obvious plot hole bugs me though. If Romulans started a war with Earth in the 21st century and basically destroyed the planet it seems a bit of a stretch that Humans were able to recover and build the UEF and Connies.
I'd say Pike and Marcus were both full admirals but Marcus being CnC got an extra pip. Similar to how the CnC's fleet admiral uniform in TUC was slightly different to Fleet Admiral Carwright's uniform.
Of course the narrow-extra wide-narrow stripes muddy the water so at this point I think it's...
I agree. But I prefer the broken stripes as they're easier to make out than thin and thick stripes. It's especially cumbersome with the red and blue SNW stripes.
Yes, also Finney and Giotto were referred to as Lt. Commander despite wearing Cmdr. braid. There have always been rank inconsistencies throughout Trek but SNW set a new record with 7 main characters out of 9 having rank inconsistencies. 8 out of 10 if you feel like counting Lt./Lt. Cmdr. Jenna...
Not really. There's nothing to understand here other than that the rank stripes simply don't match the dialogue.
Una was refered to as Lt. Cmdr. in her crew file in S01E01 but wore 2 full stripes. Hemmer wore 2 full stripes but was refered to as Lieutenant in S01E04. Chapel wears 2 full stripes...

Well I think there's place between the Constitution (2245) and the Excelsior class (228x) for at least one other big capital ship class. Or maybe that failed too and made the Constitution refit a better option.
Well, what is or is not canon isn't really up to us. But I feel the franchise has reached a point where the canon is so large that it doesn't feel coherent anymore. That's bound to happen with so many hours of TV, but I think certain decisions by current TPTB (all the retconns goind on in DIS...
