Spoilers Season 3 episode 3 'People of Earth' promo

[NCC-73515]

I hope they mention that Earth's existence depends on its definition

 

[Tuskin38]

I like how the moon does appear to be in the EDF logo, it hasn't been forgotten.

 

[eschaton]

Since these are different uniforms than what the other group of presumably 32nd century Starfleet people are wearing, there’s probably at least two factions of Federation military.

Maybe it's just that the Federation doesn't include Earth - even if it does include humans.

 

[Isaac Lawrence]

I see people are bitching about the costumes on the 32nd Century characters.

I think about that sometimes, and what can you do exactly with clothes? You can have everybody in robes and look like monks or something, I guess.

But people have two arms and two legs. And if it's a uniform it has to be functional, so you can't have anything extravagant. And extravagance is out of the question anyway because you have to adhere to a Star Trek aesthetic to an extent, otherwise you get the "it's not Star Trek."

I guess they could have done a Section 31 and went with all black everything. But then they would have caught flak for that.

Designing for the future is so hard, I don't envy the Discovery costume designers.

Adira looks a little uncomfortable

I think that's part of the story. Adira is a little standoffish, but warms up to Stamets and Culber.

 

[Kelso]

I see people are bitching about the costumes on the 32nd Century characters.

At a glance, the EDF uniforms are at least vaguely reminiscent of the Relativity uniforms.

I don't envy any part of the production team. Costuming is just brutal at this point.

I never did buy Starfleet isn’t a military organization BS. I mean you use the earth’s navy ranks as your standard ranks, you have an academy, rules and regulations, a JAG corps, and people can be court martialed. So yeah that doesn’t scream military at all.


Also so not only does the Discovery got to reassemble the Federation but also Starfleet as well.

 

[Noname Given]

New people for "People of Earth"...

Well, Adira and a new person, Captain Ndoye.

Trekmovie has more.

Pre-rating of 8 for this episode. Last week I had a pre-rating of 5 based solely on the preview images and came away with a 7 after watching it. I'm going in with an 8 this week.

Hesitant to say obviously, but this may indeed be 32nd century Starfleet. If so, I'm good.

Or this could be V'draysh too, who knows. And then again V'draysh and Federation/Starfleet are maybe one in the same...

So anyway, new people of "People of Earth."

EDIT: And a see a comment over there on Adira's badge...

EDF, Earth Defense Force, perhaps.

Soooo...ED, eh? What? In the 32nd century, Viagra replaces Dilithium then?

 

[Duke]

I wonder if Earth is still the Federation Capital. The promo showed multiple beam ins that reminded me of raiders or given the tone of Picard, paranoid isolationists.

How?

The EDF uniforms have a different sigil than the uptime Starfleet uniforms, which to me suggests Earth is not a part of The Federation.

 

[Tuskin38]

Yeah we seen what might be an actual starfleet uniform in one trailer which reminds me of the Relativity Uniform.

 

[Yistaan]

They should have archive footage of Voyager's Doctor walk by in the background as a shout out to fans. :P

the insignia they wear are clearly new, they do not represent the starfleet!

I think V'draysh rule the earth which would be great!

 

[rhllot]

Maybe it's just that the Federation doesn't include Earth - even if it does include humans.

the maquis were primarily human and were at war with the federation.

V'draysh may be the federation's most important successor state and those who call themselves the federation are just a group of activists who have no planetary government and only a few spacecraft.

Zareh's dialogue strongly indicates the V'draysh and Federation are identical.

you forget about the group of super spies

 

[rhllot]

Zareh's dialogue strongly indicates the V'draysh and Federation are identical.

he speaks of the federation as something almost dead and of the V'draysh as something that exists something real.

The V'draysh could be the most important successor state of the federation but they themselves do not feel that they are the federation that they are something new and different! look at them they have new badges!

Even if the V'Draysh is legally a successor state, Discovery would be transitioned in likely just the same. In Picard Romulan groups transitioned from the Romulan Empire to the Romulan successor state. Kelvin Timeline Federation even gave a home to Ambassador Spock, despite him not even being from their timeline.
