Well, Kirk did get pissed when the Organians kept the Federation and Klingons from killing millions.
"Balance of Terror" is a touchstone for the Discovery story arc

Yes, but at the end, Kirk was embarrassed that he was pissed over a war he didn't really want in the first place.
I'm pretty sure the comments about Balance of Terror are just about tone, and maybe even just the type of story that it was, I doubt DSC will actually be related to it's story. I see a lot of people talking about the Romulans as bad guys, but I really doubt we'll see Romulans in the show, given the time period Klingons seem to me like the most likely bad guys.
Well I think you're going to be disappointed then.
I like when Star Trek gets weird, but I can't see those strange one off type episodes happening in STD.
I hope I'm wrong. We know the series is going to be a big story arc, but I would like to see some one off episodes inserted here and there, but I don't think it fits the format when you're only doing 10 episodes per season.
Your post and this thread made me suddenly think that
Line in the delta represents the Neutral Zone.
Well... Maybe the entire series its about Romulans, and the neutral zone bases ....yeah, a full story and development, but .... at the end, the Discovery is destroyed in his secret mission and the federation never knows (or never talks) about them. A Talos IV sort of thing.
We know the Romulans, we have a good story, and they keep safe the prime timelime

Massive speculation there.
It's possible that the Number 1 is a Vulcan, and the event that involves her is the Vulcan disapora(they never did the "event" happened as the same time as the show), the Romulans, cultural clash, etc.

As Balance of Terror is one of my favorite Trek episodes, this comes as good news. Tight acting, real tension, an intelligent enemy, an existential threat - all that bodes well for the new series.
To be clear-- whether Balance of Terror is a literal reference or just the spiritual foundation for the new series I am happy. But I also enjoy wondering how the literal references from that episode (and others) might fit in.
Speculation is a human trait!

She has to be another species, or why would Fuller make the comment that she's a Lt. Cmdr but she'll have many ranks. Clearly she's a Vulcan who went undercover with the Romulans and now this mission pertains to whatever she uncovered. I'm 100% positive that this is my uninformed opinion.
I think it is the other way around. She's Romulan, masquerading as a Starfleet officer. A deep cover assignment, much like T'Pel from "Data's Day".
This meshes with the rumor that there will be a Klingon Captain in the main cast.
Even better
That would be scifi heaven

I would want the romulan side entirely in Rihannsu (which spellchecks as Rihanna's U. A very different scifi..um..heaven?) for that authentic Das Boot feel.
I remember this from the books "My Enemy, My Ally" and the "Romulan Way". Read them decades ago.
I keep trying to get through the books, but the language also shows up in STO.
Am pretty sure I read some of them way back, but they didn't stick in memory.
That's the whole Discovery story arc right there.
