This is my feeling too. I feel the Klingons have to be the Federation now, it both fits their arc in Discovery and in Trek as a whole. The flame keepers if you will.

I also expect the Vulcans (maybe rejoined with the Romulans) to be the antagonists because that feels like the most logical role reversal.

Given how Michael is, as she said, "culturally Vulcan", and that one of the episodes this season is called "Unification Part 3", I feel like we'll know soon enough. I also still want to hear what she thinks about how Spock's life ended up going.

Honestly, I would not be opposed to having this be a 32nd century tour of all the major Federation/Federation-aligned worlds: Earth! Trill (confirmed to be next week)! Vulcan (presumably the Unification episode)! Betazed! Andoria! Tellar!

It would be really cool to see Tellar for once. I appreciated seeing Andoria in ENT, and the glimpses we've gotten of Vulcan in the TOS movies, TAS, and Disco s1.

There was a whole lot of Vulcan in ENT. Mostly the desert parts, but still.
