Your most insane theory on what Discovery is going to be really about!

[Jayson1]

You might call me crazy but I think this entire series is going to be built around the mystery of what happened to Scotty's missing finger. Sure on the surface it might seem a leap to asume a show set 10 years in the past from the TOS adventure's on a different ship with no TOS character in that might not even be in the same canon would focus on this but you haven't thought this through. At some point the show is going to use the TOS character's on some level. We just know it will happen.

My theory is that the klingon stuff is just a ruse. They will be in the first episode and that is it. what I predict is they starfleet ships we be invaded by klingons and big battle will happen but starfleet ends up winning. At some point after the battle a severed finger will be found. The finger belongs to no crewmen. they do a dna test and ithey find out it belongs to Scotty. They find out he is a engineer serving on a cargo ship and when they get in touch they find out he has all his fingers. we then spend the rest of the series getting into adventure's while also constantly trying to figure out the mystery of the finger.

Good story-telling in the Prime Universe that doesn't involve resolving every episode with a phaser fight or having female characters in catsuits to draw in sought-after demographics.

This might work but only if all the episodes are done in song like in the movie "Evita."

The Klingon forehead problem will be resolved.

The Klingon forehead problem will be resolved.

In a manner completely inconsistent with ENT

I am particularly looking forward to a sub-plot about why it is his swear finger that is missing.

As a matter of course.

I would support this if it is done well.

I actually hope that the long backdrop arc is going to be some kind of a mystery and not a diplomatic/war conflict with established aliens.

The whales!

They actually somehow became extinct in the 2250's!

If there can be so many humanoids all over the galaxy, why not have a warp capable Horta-oid somewhere? I'd pay to see that.

Future Kirk cloning an an army of past Kirk.

Future Kirk cloning an an army of past Kirk.

I like the idea but I want Shatner to play young kirk and Pine to play old Kirk. Then I want the first clone made to be played by David Pollack.

The writers not falling back on the big "reset button" crutch every other episode.

Star Trek finally breaks the fourth wall.

They have to travel back in time to stop Tommy Westphall before he dreams into existence all of those other TV shows.
