Where have the black badges gone?

The black badges have gone... dark!
???
Also - what about when the black alert was first shown to the audience, and the water / globules of liquid floated up / defied gravity?
Was that something special, or am I just overly excited about a small mundane detail, that is now passé and waaaay back in the mists of episode 3?

Not to mention flying around on a secret ship with over a hundred crew which is far from being kept a secret!
That's a joke right, black alert is awesome. It reached the point that when they said Yellow alert that for a slight moment I forgot what it meant.
I think it's more like, "finish your meals, save your games and clear your search history, shit might go down soon."
A yellow alert is exactly like a yellow traffic light. It warns you that it’s about to change to red so you can slow down (or more likely increase speed to cross the junction without the red stopping you.) 
Can you do lyrics for this song? Flowers and spores are pretty close, they're both flora.
In a deleted scene, Lorca sends wave of them into Ripper‘s cage to see hoow it could be hurt and weaponized.
You think Burnham was his first choice?

I could be wrong, but I thought yellow alert could include shields.
Riker and Picard have ordered shields with yellow alert before iirc
I'm not sure I'm remembering this from the show or some other, secondary source, but I'm fairly certain Yellow Alter is shields up, damage control on standby, but no weapons.
Red Alert is shields, weapons, damage control, and battle stations.
Absolutely. "Yellow Alert! Shields Up!".
Whereas Red Alert probably raises shields automatically and maybe gets weapons ready as well.
the naval equivalent to a yellow alert would be security alert (used on TWOK).
the naval equivalent to red alert would be General Quarters or Battle-stations. I never understood why it was supposed to be big deal in ENT that Reed came up with Tactical alert. He was from a multi-generational naval family. He surely had a wtf moment when he found out Starfleet had no general quarters equivalent.

I always thought this was silly, too, along with all the apparent difficulty he had in coming up with a name for the thing.
"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb."
It really does seem redundant to say "shields up" with "red alert", if they don't pop on automatically with "yellow alert".
Yellow Alert doesn't include shields, according to TWOK. I'm not even sure Red Alert automatically raises shields. We've seen plenty of examples where a Red Alert call is followed by an additional order to raise shields (TMP, TSFS, TNG, etc). And others where the Red Alert had nothing to do with an outside threat and shields were not engaged.
I read somewhere that Yellow Alert meant that the 2nd shift (assuming 1st shift was on duty) came to the ready to man stations. Red Alert meant that all 3 shifts were manning various battle or emergency stations. I doubt that is canon...but it seemed reasonable.
I think those side effects were happening when they were still ironing out the various bugs of the DASH drive and doing their little "mini-jumps." Now that they have a biological interface to navigate...those side effects have vanished.
