Fair enough.
Trust me, that wasn't it.
It would still be your home?
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x10 - "The Galactic Barrier"

Honestly, that is something that depends on each person's feeling. Take for example Sisko in DS9. He said when he goes home it will be back to Bajor. I do think home is where you think it is and not always where you are from. So I cannot answer your question truly until I have lived and experienced that future to feel whether it was "home" to me.
Well when you do let me know.
Only now?
Trekyards in their spoiler review brought up an interesting question: is the DMA threatening Earth and Nivar a direct attack? Is 10-C attacking Earth and Nivar on purpose in retaliation for the destruction of the first DMA?
Also, is it possible that Tarka's friend is 10-C and 10-C is trying to reach that paradise dimension? Maybe the DMA is collecting boronite so that 10-C can have enough power to transport their entire civilization that is inside that hyperfield to that paradise dimension?

They mentioned a planet that was found at the end of the episode, so my guess is that they will spend the next episode investigating that before making their way to the 10-C.
From Kovich? A guy who looks like he stepped out of an episode of Gilligan's Island? Not seeing a problem
Yes, we will spend the next episode on the neighboring planet instead of dealing with the actual issue (Q: is there a star, too?). In the course of that we will learn one important fact that sets the table for the ending. Probably that this is the planet they evolved from. This has been the style all along. Dribble out info episode by episode. And in this case, start First Contact when you have only days to go before awful destruction by visiting someone else.
What won't happen: the planet is a complete waste of time.
No, that's behind the "Great Barrier" at the center. This is the Galactic Barrier at the edge.
Silly me.
aaahg. Definitely going to happen.
I even feel weird going back to the town I went to college in.
I don't see how this is an issue when we live in a world where 2/3/4 thousand year old stories are still a part of culture and produced many turn of phrases that are still in use.

The shuttlebay door was closed in one scene

Unless you believe they already know a lot about the Galaxy and its political structure, even then the response makes no sense because in the 32nd Century neither Earth nor Nivar are members of the Federation. Also Book"s ship is not of federation design, and Book's race was never a formal member of the Federation.
As for my take on the episode I give this week an 8.
I actually liked a lot of the character moments have the scene between Burnham and the Federation President. I also like the presentation of Tarka's backstory.
As for the galactic barrier, I guess some Federation history has been lost in the intervening 900 years because Kirk & Co with the help of the Kelvin's safely and easily passed through the barrier, and you would think that Federation history would record that fact, and further that the techniques used to safely rraverse the barrier ( and whatever modifications were made to the 1701 to accomplish the feat), would be known in the 32nd century. And there also was the fact that the SS Valiant also managed to penetrate the barrier to enter extra-galactic in the 22nd century and even managed to re-enter the barrier and make it back to Galactic space without being crippled by the attempt. The captain of the Valiant destroyed his ship to prevent an esper that was affected in the same way Gary Mitchell was from being loosed on the Galaxy.
I was also disappointed that they did a completely different visual representation of the barrier when honestly, the upgrade they did for TOS-R would have worked just fine. One really has to wonder why they feel the need to reimagine the visuals on every single thing in the Star Trek universe even when it's a natural phenomenon that's appeared various times before. I guess this visual effects team really hates TOS.
One thing I still do enjoy about Discovery and kurtzman Trek in general is that they have gotten away from the Berman era trope of the science and engineering depts being able to accurately predict and everything accurately. I enjoyed the fact that no they didn't manage to 5 light-years from the barrier; that there were elements that the sensor scans didn't account for, and that Stemmons couldn't give an absolutely reliable answer as to how long the ship or the shields would last given the situation.

This whole season feels like it would have been a two-parter in the TNG era, but it's been dragged out to thirteen whole episodes so everyone can talk incessantly about nothing.
Title: "The Galactic Barrier"
Summary: "Discovery goes through the Galactic Barrier"
That's it. That's literally it. This isn't 24, I don't need to see everything unfolding in painstakingly slow real time.
Also, was anyone else annoyed that Discovery was cheerfully at warp at the end with detached nacelles? The show can't even keep its own damn continuity straight, never mind anything else's.
