But my anal nature make me want to give more specific grading than even the ten options, so I am never going to be happy about most polls.

Oh, I know, but that doesn't make it useful. One of the little hells of being compulsive. Believe me, I know.

Yeah but the Orville sucks so you really don't need that many options....I kid.

Technically, you only need three:

  1. Exceedingly Excellent
  2. Routinely Excellent
  3. Go away, Trekkie! ;) :p
 
I wonder why they have two dedication plaques.

Neither are the Discovery Season 2 plaque. That one was black/grey and had different text.

The one on the left almost looks like it has the Late TOS Movie era to TNG era style rows of names instead of a big box of names like ENT and DSC.

It's possible that instead of two dedication plaques one of them serves a different purpose. Like a memorial to crew killed in action, like this:

Okay, the episode didn't need until they did the instrumental of the original theme to win me over.

I was utterly submitted to our new Star Trek overlords by that alone.
 
* Love the classic rainbow warp pattern
* Original theme instrumental
* Robert April
* T'Prynn
* Lieutenant Kirk is not onboard...yet.
* The ship looks a lot better than the Kelvinverse. More colorful
* BURNHAM is mentioned.
* Christina Chong is my crush since Halo, so I'm glad about her.
* Uhura!
* "Don't make promises you can't keep."/This time everybody lives
* Saurian Brandy
* Good speech from Spock about death.
* Warp bomb!

The 1701 model at the Paley Center premiere had two plaques, which appear to match those from your screenshot. Looks like one for ceremonial/brass recognition, and one for ship specs.

It's a small thing, but I love the whole 'polished aluminum' look to all the spacecraft; it's a really subtle but effective way of harnessing retro aviation aesthetic and old tin-foil sci-fi.
