Wait, did they really do that?
It's never too early to make wild assumptions when it comes to Star Trek!
But, yeah, it's not really an assumption. They went through all this trouble to invent a substance (programmable matter) that they then used to change the ship's appearance. It stands to reason that this was specifically to change the ship back when the time comes.
I'd much rather believe that than the alternative (that Calypso will never happen now or is in an alternate timeline). More Trek is better, not less.
A spore jump goes wrong and Discovery appears floating inside it's own Turbolift Funhouse.
This image is from Trekcore, released with their official review. The review copy Tilly had a red stripe, but CBS All Access Tilly has a blue stripe. What that means is anyone's guess.
Nothing about this post is accurate.
Visual continuity means absolutely nothing when it comes to the narrative Canon of Star Trek, so absolutely zero conclusions can be drawn from the differences between the interiors of the Discovery as depicted in Calypso and how those interiors are being depicted in DSC currently.
Furthermore, Michelle Paradise has already unequivocally said that Calypso is Canon to DSC, and, if followed through on, her statement will be true regardless of any visual discrepancies between the series and Calypso.
I didn't say anything about canon. And, as far as I know, the interiors are the same between Season 3 and Calypso. The exteriors are the only outstanding issue, and the show itself has explained any issues one might have there.
No need to worry about visual continuity. It's already been covered in Scavengers, quite succinctly.
I disagree.
We're in agreement here, although for vastly different reasons.
I see no reason to worry about visual continuity because it doesn't matter and never has.
It's fine for things to happen in alternate timelines. The Kelvin timeline was an alternate timeline after all.
I'm trying to figure out if Saru actually received both the rank and position of Captain from Admiral Vance, or just the position, because the distinction has relevance to where his character - and actor Doug Jones - fits into DSC Season 4 and on the Discovery herself.
I know Memory Alpha lists his official rank as Captain, but I don't remember if him receiving a promotion in physical rank was actually shown or explicitly talked about.

I have taken it as the position of captain but not fully promoted to captain.
If Saru was only given the position of Captain, he can come back to Starfleet and rejoin the crew of the Discovery (likely as Burnham's permanent First Officer); if he was promoted to the rank of Captain, fitting him back into Disco's crew is unlikely, and Doug Jones will probably end up being credited only for those episodes in which he appears (as happened with Michelle Yeoh, Rachel Ancherill, Wilson Cruz, and David Ajala).
He could come back as a diplomatic officer.
Daniels said the Klingons joined the Federation in the 26th century, meaning they should have been long time 500 year members by the time the Burn happened.
And since Discovery went through the trouble of retconning Boreth to be a time crystal temporal planet, just bring back the actual Kahless, not a clone, this time.
Discovery thinks they have problems catching up 1,000 years? The Klingons are going to be so disappointed when Kahless has to catch up on 2,000 years of history and while he may be a pro at physical combat, he'll have no idea how to use the controls of a starship, much less command one in battle.
Kahless: And now I shall personally lead an attack on that Hur'q vessel! (jumps out an airlock)
Burnham: Um Captain, I don't think he had a spacesuit when he jumped out.
Captain Glork: Transporter room, beam Kahless back immediately to medical and afterwards transferred to his quarters to be confined. I never thought I'd say that of all the figures in Klingon history, I'd rather have Alexander son of Worf leading us in fleet combat than Kahless himself.

Commodore was used in Picard, and the costume department sheet for the new combadges also labelled the 1 Pip admiral as Commodore.

This shot is also not in the final episode.
???
I never claimed it was. El Maestro was asking if Tilly really had a red stripe in the original version, and I posted this production photograph as proof that she had the red stripe and they edited it away at a later point.
Also, it looks like Tig Notaro wasn't on set during Burnham's big ascendency, because in both that production image, and another image I posted from the episode itself (with blue-stripe Tilly), "Reno" is hiding her face, and we only see her in the episode during close-ups of the crew.
Oh I thought you meant that image came from the press copy.
How exactly would that work she's long dead isn't she?
There was a picture going around of Tilly standing on the outside of the ship. I can't seem to find it and wondering where it came from because that's not in any episode, or was it a promo piece?
