Discovery doesn't get anywhere near Lexx silly.
Why Spore Drive may not work in the future
- Thread starter XCV330
- Start date
I'm not so sure I agree. I have a feeling the Spore Drive is DSC's "Genesis Device...":
A game-changing technology that could be used for good, but has several "moral implications" associated with its use...and therefore will be shelved entirely.
Perhaps not, though I think it's more that they are willing to bend and break principles behind the scenes when the existence of the Federation is threatened. Normally they don't have to. Starfleet does just fine on its own. But they also haven't been shown, apart from the Kelvin-verse, as having enough resources to have their own ships. They manipulate and nudge and whisper in the right ears, maybe even assassinate when The Sisko won't do it for them.
At this point, I think it highly unlikely that DSC is a "Section 31" story.
It's been discussed to death in other threads how Bryan Fuller's favorite day is Halloween, but keep beating the Section 31 drum.
And the Glenn was NCC-1030. I doubt she is assigned to "Section 30" as a result.
Besides, it's already been explained that the registry number refers to Fuller's love of Halloween. Nothing more.

You forgot - Humanity creating a Utopia and every Human being eliminating racism and bigotry in 350 years...<--- Given the length and nature of recorded Human history; Star Trek fans actually believe this tenet of Berman era Star Trek believable?

You make a fair point, as always sir.
Obvious reason is that tardigrade spore fusion is stupid. The writers totally respect the audience and don't want to embarrass themselves by letting this travesty to ever be referred back to their pens. They know we are sitting at home thinking.. those floaty spores and that poor oversized bed bug do NOT clever science fiction make.
What were they thinking? I can just picture the think tank scene from the writers room. What we need is some... bacteria AND a tardigrade.. ooh make it big! How about some bats wings and eye of newt? Nah let's not push our luck.
Maybe finding more tardigrades scuttled the project for future Trek? Or maybe Ripper breaks free and eats the crew?

He and any others of his kind will leave this realm permanently with the message, "So long, and thanks for all the fungus."
