hi! im new!
During the trailer for the season there are a couple of scenes in which Tilly and Burnham seem to be "disguised" as Barkonian, curiously the Barkonian emblem looks very similar to the "map"

That would be great, it's one of my favorite episodes! Perhaps they still have a monument to the great town savior and microscope inventor Mr. Radioactive :D

TROI: Oh, he'll be fine. I had to memorise this speech in grammar school. You wish you could tell them all that this alliance will give birth to the Federation.
It's quite clear that this alliance came first (the Coalition), and it later turned into the Federation.
 
Not a surprise considering the anticipation level after a 2-year layoff but Trek Central is reporting Discovery was the number 1 show in engagement on a site that gleans data from 1000 apps. Not too shabby.

The Power Score ranking is designed to compare streaming shows on an apples-to-apples basis. In calculating its Power Score, TVision, which measures activity across over 1,000 apps, looks at the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season and the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach.

TVision said it chose that combination of metrics to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers — regardless of a platform’s scale or a program’s release schedule.

The 26th century Enterprise-J compared to 32nd century Federation and Starfleet vessels seen in DSC. It's interesting that over 600 years separate that behemoth from the DSC vessels and base.

Maybe the Federation decided bigger isn't always better. Also it's entirely possible that with the sphere builders being defeated in the 22nd century, the universe class never came to be and the J was a different class altogether.
 
The Voyager-J is a lot smaller than I expected. That's the biggest surprise of the entire graphic.
 
I'm actually surprised at how small Relativity is. While I knew it wasn't a large ship, I didn't think it was that small.

Right but it all happens within the same year, and the Coalition already existed. The Federation was definitely founded in 2161. We've know this for a very long time.

It could be something of a semantics situation. Like, you could say the United States was founded in 1776, but then our "first President", Washington wasn't President until 1789 due to the switching from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution. Perhaps a similar situation. In 2161 Archer is making a speech to roll out "The United Federation of Planets", but it's not the same UFP as it would be later.

It's very similar to the US saying Washington was the first President. He was, but also wasn't... he was the first President under the Constitution... we had a bunch of Presidents between 1776 and 1789. But they were Presidents of a different United States. You might say the alliance that gave birth to the United States.

Relativity makes sense to be small, given its mission. It's probably better that it doesn't have a massive crew and be an obnoxiously huge ship. It's for all intents and purposes a time travel spy ship.

Offshot on that topic, establishing that there was a resolution to the Temporal Wars and the subsequent removal of time travel tech was a fantastic idea. Having all of that be in play creates a world that is much more difficult to make believable. It's better that we don't try. It's there. It happened. And now it's not. (and, most likely, it's "always there" and "always happening", given the nature of time.) My headcanon there is that with the resolution of the Temporal Wars and the banning of time travel post-31st century, the 29th-31st century people are essentially forever responsible for the timeline, back and forward. Something like the Relativity should have access to the entire agreed-upon timeline and actively monitor/police it.
 
I would LOVE IT if there is no time travel in the Academy series. Not once. So far, every single series has done time travel. Given the time travel ban, it has the potential to be the only series to accomplish this. And I hope it sticks to this.

Traveling is space using fantastic energies sort of lends itself to exploring space-time. It's inevitable.

I don't mind some time travel type stuff. It can be interesting. We can do without the "travel to modern times" episodes. We've done that enough.
 
Something about the uniforms that's been bugging me a little, and I realize the in-universe answer is probably "programmable matter", but why do these uniforms unzip differently? Culber's keeps the insignia together, Reno's does not.

I think Reno's is the only one that does this. Maybe she just likes being different (ie: difficult)?
