Season 2 will end in such a way as we will not be able to see it very well because the dam camera will be shaking too much! Grrr
Im leaning more towards that they stop the AI that's been seeding the past with technology to advance itself, certain fancy technologies such as the spore drive were never invented. In addition Michael parents would never have been killed and she wouldn't have become spocks sister to begin with. With that said though they have to find a way to continue the show which would be the big challenge.
Time dilation does exist in the Trekverse, given the concept was shown on a classroom board in DS9 when Keiko was teaching children on the station.
I'm pretty sure though that in practice, Starfleet vessels cannot approach the speed of light, only exceed it. IIRC the maximum speed ever listed for impulse was 0.5 c, which would have minimal time dilation. Warp drives travel faster than light, but through subspace, where time dilation isn't really a concern.
Given how advanced they are, I bet they can exceed 0.5c. They intentionally might not exceed that to avoid time dilation. But, it seems like given their technology, they should be able to do so if they wanted.
It's Terralysium I believe.Zora takes Discovery to the planet (I can't recall if its Earth or not),
When they pulled a stunt like that on Fringe, I didn't hate it, but it raised a lot of questions. I'd rather not see that on DISCO.For folks who are major fans of the show, I hope they don't pull out some massive reset button for the last two years. It would be really inconsiderate of the creative staff (whether new or not) to pull the rug out from under the people who have spent the last couple of years supporting their vision of what Discovery is.
Me? I'll chug along. Continuing to treat the show as its own timeline and take on Star Trek.
It did revitalize Fringe enough for me to keep on til the end. The second half of Season 3 was a chore to sit through, though. It was almost like they've only fully written the story up to Entrada and didn't quite know how to follow up on that. So yeah, the reset button in Season 4 was at least a little bit different, if not quite well executed.When they pulled a stunt like that on Fringe, I didn't hate it, but it raised a lot of questions.

I'm not completely opposed to resets, and like I said, I didn't hate it. But I have to say that it gave me a bit of a headache. I don't want DISCO to go through a reset, but if they make it work, I probably won't hate it, either.It did revitalize Fringe enough for me to keep on til the end.

For me, Fringe had the benefit of being a self-contained series (that one-off reference to the FBI retiring 'the old X-designation' aside). So while I think a reset could be executed well on Discovery as well, especially if they spend enough time on exploring the consequences, my main fear is that it would rather come off as a cop-out, almost as if the writers gave in and bowed before the loudest criticisms on youtube. Regardless of their intentions, I think there's a great chance it would bear the ugly mark of appeasement for a long time if it happened. I'd personally find a time jump into the far future much more palatable.I'm not completely opposed to resets, and like I said, I didn't hate it. But I have to say that it gave me a bit of a headache.

Rewatching "Calypso," and I think I might have an idea how this will go. Where does Zora come from? First, the little Zora eyes look rather similar to the Section 31 device used in "Perpetual Infinity" to steal the sphere data. I think that Zora might be an AI that is found in the sphere data. Zora mentions something about evolving. I'm wondering if perhaps Zora and Control merge in order to stop Control from completing its mission. Then Zora is ordered to maintain position in an area of space that is not often traversed for some reason or another. Zora/Control evolve to the point where Zora has overtaken the Control personality, even if it is a struggle for her. Zora is ordered to maintain position in order to reach the point in time in which they believe Dr. Burnhamn wen following "Perpetual Infinity." Zora takes Discovery to the planet (I can't recall if its Earth or not), picks up Burnham, disables herself and Control permanently after giving Burnham instructions on how to return to the 23rd century.
It's a pretty rough idea but it explains why "Calypso" is told, why Zora is maintaining position, why Dr. Burnham is in the 33rd century and how to deal with Control.
Then again, I'm probably way off.
"V'draysh" is supposedly a bastardization of "Federation". I suppose it's possible that Control considers itself The Last remnant of the Federation and continue using the name.That leaves the question of what exactly the V'draysh actually are.
They're not some kind if pure AI entity. They have life support and speak english in their escape pods. An AI watching Betty Boop and Snow White makes as much sense as an AI that loves rewatching old 50's musicals, so I'll give them that much.
But it needs escape pods with life support like a brick needs a spoon."V'draysh" is supposedly a bastardization of "Federation". I suppose it's possible that Control considers itself The Last remnant of the Federation and continue using the name.
