Trek Report looks like a pretty reliable site. Even if not, @King Daniel Beyond is a reliable poster who's been around the block. I don't think he'd start this thread unless he thought what Trek Report said was legit.Not to be negative, as I love Discovery, but how sure are we that these titles are real? If they're real, then the production is taking a very different approach to naming than in Seasons 1 and 2, and not necessarily one that works for me. That premiere title in particular sounds really lazy to my ear, and nothing here inspires my curiosity the way a title like "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" or "Such Sweet Sorrow" did. The writers loaded nearly every title of the first 29 episodes with literary references; what happened?
I can't help thinking that these sound like the titles someone who's faking titles would come up with.
That said, if they're real, Unification III is almost certainly a place, as the Roman numerals and lack of a "Part" differ from even the multi-part episodes listed here. That doesn't mean it isn't a callback to Unification (surely, it is), but I wouldn't be shocked if they visit the third place of the Unification system, where folks are trying to put together a new Federation or something.
EDIT: I think if there's a different style of titles, it can be attributed to having a different showrunner, and Michelle Paradise having her own particular way of doing things.
