I'm glad the burn is exactly what I thought/wanted it to be.

The plot seems very inspirational: Bringing the Federation back.

I'm really excited.

It's obvious "the burn" is a reference to a joke at someone's expense.

The Vulcans made a "your momma" joke so logical it destroyed the federation.

Saru

Definitely seems headed that way. Burnham distinctly only has Commander pips when we see her in uniform again, which suggests Saru is in command of the ship proper.

Meanwhile, I do appreciate this premise makes it more the ship that is special, than Burnham herself. Of course, that was technically the case with season 1 as well, so have to see how they execute on it

They resolved that issue a few years after off-screen as Voyager and Defiant had no issues going above warp five

That was/is my hope as well.

they resolved it off screen or they ignored the issue leading to the incident?


I dig the continuity of it

It could have been a temporary fix, plus also a fix only the federation would have used potentially

Yep. There's nothing that necessarily says the Federation caused this, just that they were one of the victims; sure, it would be very much in keeping with Discovery's previous approach to its examinations of the Federation, but they don't have to stick to that.

It would actually fit in with climate change if it was a temporary thing that made things worse down the line.
I imagine there would even be a throw away line in S3 saying "They knew for decades what would happen! But

was too convenient."

I'm guessing

Spoiler: speculation

it's related to the Omega molecule which fucks up subspace and makes warp engines useless.

It doesn't make the ship special though as

Spoiler: Potential spoilers

we've seen that far in the future they already use instant anywhere to anywhere technology without warp. Not to mention Slipstream and the rest. If lack of warp is part of the reason for Federation falling apart then Discovery writers are treating viewers like idiots, again.
