The crew of Discovery wind up in the Wormhole, become prophets and just chill.
What else will be discovered then classified

Hey, that version of Paris we saw had it's look taken straight out of Star Trek Into Darkness, so it's not as crazy as it sounds!
My concern with this sort of thing is - ok it's a new type of ship that travels between galaxies instead of stars or whatever - but how does that actually make a different show? We go to New planets and meet the people who are all similar and allegorical to a modern day problem. We fight aliens, we have moral quandaries. Does it make any real difference to the story that those things are in the Andromeda galaxy?
No, we'll just just talk about the ship being measured in miles instead of metres, talk about star systems with different names, we'd replace light years with millions of light years, we'd replace Romulans, Klingons and Ferengi with.....I dunno, Dubians, Handrons and Zaruthians?
the show would stay the same, just different terminology
Indeed. It could depend on how different things really are out there. Maybe the future federation gives up Prime Directive and gets actively involved in civilization building. Not sure. I'm not really in favor of a post-nemesis show right now until there's a good reason for going there.
and here i was thinking that discovery's overly cluttered version of paris made the zoning nightmare of the kelvin timeline SF look realistic.
The issue is that, whatever nominal 'era' Trek is set in, it's basically the same thing. Ship and crew buzz around the galaxy by warp drive, carrying phasers, tricorders and communicators, having adventures. The only thing marching onwards into the future does is make technobabble dues ex machina easier and more tempting.
If we change that fundamental setup, we'll have a different show, but then we'd probably say it isn't Star Trek anymore.
Both things probably classified by Starfleet. The bomb removed/deactivated by the L'Rell once the unification is solidified.
Data's head, which is reverse-engineered by Dr. Noonian Soong's father, Dr. Aron Soong, and later perfected by Noonian to become Data, Lore, and B4. Which is, then, reburied under San Francisco so as not to create a time paradox.
Loads of stuff has come up in Trek, including TOS, and never been mentioned again. Doesn't make it a canon violation. You'd think that the explosion of Praxis nearly dooming the whole empire would be mentioned again, but you'd be wrong.
Beverly Crusher's dancing.
This isn't that hard. The Dominion War took its toll on the Federation. Some members left, and some new territory was exposed by the losses. The Federation is rebuilding, in its Reconstruction, like the Civil War in the U.S., were lots of things are going to need to be sifted through.
Post-Nemesis, with Romulus struggling with its own internal conflict, Cardassia and the Klingons also struggling, there is a lot of ripe territory for conflict, Starfleet rebuilding and trying to forge new alliances.
How exactly do you know they were never mentioned again???? It's a big universe with trillions of people. A lot more than thimble full we see on screen.
Outside the fictional universe, the franchise isn't dead. There will be more episodes. There might even be more series and films. So never say never.
I hear Shazad Latif might be available.I hope he's British again
Trek will never die. And if it does, then it had a better run than most properties out there.
