I barely watched any of season 3 it was hard work.
That was the first 2 days of wars
That was just the crew compliment of the Europa.
Well.
That's 20 times the crew of Kirk's Enterprise.
It said six months later in the caption, and the "three days" line wasn't in the actual episode that I can recall.
Roughly twenty. Kirk's Enterprise had a complement of 430.
Just a Typo.
I know my 2 times tables.
"My cousin died in the Europa and 8000 people with her"
It's more likely 8000 people died in the entire battle, rather than that the Europa was fucking massive.

What was that thing Spock was holding? Some sort of Vulcan hippie-beating-stick?
I'd assumed that might have been referring to all the other casualties on the other ships too. A sum total, basically.
One thing that show does, among many that I really hate it for, is the fact that they should with "pulse" shots, rather than Beamer, that ALL other Federation vessels (to my knowledge), except the Defiant Class, was doing since the beginning of Star Trek.
And the Defiance at least made it look cool, not like in any other Sci-Fi Movie. But here it looks totally meaningless and space battles become boring even before they started.

Yes, but I would like to know about ship sizes and average crew compliments for this era.
It's possible that warships (like the Enterprise) are smaller to fight more efficiently than science vessels, or one of the ships was carrying 3 thousand civilian passengers they didn't have time to drop off before the fight started.
I figured it meant that the Klingons had launched a blitzkrieg on other ships and colonies after the battle at the binary stars. It would make sense considering Starfleet was unprepared for conflict with Klingons
I’m really liking Cadet Tilly. She seems to have some form of anxiety, so I can actually relate to her.
Only T'Kuvma was prepared for the ambush at the binary stars. If he had a plan for rolling offensives to quash humanity and Starfleet, those engagement orders were not given, even if hundred of ships were in position to act, because T'Kuvma was dead.
10ish ships with an average crew of 300... No-oo?
Were they counting Klingon casualties at the battle as well?
Am I missing something, or is it not obvious to the SF people that T'Kuvma intended to aggress the Federation, regardless of what Burnham did?
Well, we know that there was a andorian colony six light years and a starbase 3 light years from the binary star system. Maybe some Klingon ships conducted raids on one or the other. It would not have taken hundreds of Klingon ships to inflict losses of 8,000 in two days especially if they were attacking a lightly defended colony that was too far for starfleet to get to quickly.
Felt that episode was a lot better than the first two. Love the look of the ship and Captain Lorca, as well as Landry.
I haven't read the entire thread so I don't know what other people have written, but by looking at the poll it seems most people liked it. Personally I'm really disappointed, I pretty much hated it, it was exactly what I didn't want to see. It tried to be dark and edgy, had a boring aliens-rip-off action scene and stupid new tech.
Seriously, the mushroom warp is 'Threshold' level idiotic, and instead of being just one episode we can forget, it seems to be one of the basic foundations of the series. Furthermore it is yet another überwarp technology that will be later forgotten. Star Trek really didn't need more of those.
I think I would have liked a Shenzhou series about Captain Georgiou and her crew exploring strange new worlds, at this point I am not at all convinced that I will like Discovery.

I've just realised you can have klingon subtitles on netflix.
I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the first two though I still don't like the ship much.
I'm getting equinox vibe from Discovery let's just hope things end better for the crew of the Discovery.
