Spoilers Title, airdate and synopsis of episode 10

[Tuskin38]

After that photo was released (in Variety I believe) there was an article with speculations about the Discovery’s Mirror universe in TrekCore and of course thread(s) here in Trekbbs.

I don't recall anyone here talking about that until after Frakes leaked that there was going to be a MU episode.

Can anyone read what class that ISS plaque says?

My mistake. Crossfield was a test pilot. Navy. First test pilot to fly twice the speed of sound.

 

[Tuskin38]

ISS Discovery is still a Crossfield class, infact, some users here on TrekBBS guessed Crossfield before the official reveal from that image.

The rest is too hard to make out. But the top two pieces of Text (United Federation of Planets, and San Fransico, Fleet Yards) are clearly changed.

The photo with the I.S.S. Discovery dedication plaque was released long before the Frakes leak.

Yeah, I know. Saw it when the news first broke. Thanks for the reminder, anyway.

Well, I do.

You’re welcome.

Why do they continue to say "USS Discovery" in their synopsises (synopsi?)? Why not just use "Discovery"? I mean they never used "USS Enterprise" or "USS Voyager" every damn time in past.

Random thing to get upset about.

^ LOL, I know, right? I seem to get easily annoyed in my old age.

Aye, as a fellow curmudgeon, I share your frustration with the overuse of "USS". As if the UFP Discovery were to suddenly fly in? Or the TFC (Tilly F'ing Cool) Discovery? It grates on me as well. #FirstWorldTrekkieProblems #GetOffMyLawn

One thing I didn't notice mentioned, Johnathan Frakes directs this episode.

That's OK. It's been mentioned everywhere else. Anyone who doesn't know hasn't been paying attention or doesn't care.

Does it reflect well on us (that is, the fandom, collectively) or poorly on the production that we appear to be able to figure out such specific plot points so far in advance?

Discovery is trying really hard to use old material and dress it up differently. However the ideas are well used by now.

Cannot freaking wait until tomorrow night.
