Ooh, ooh, ooh...

They cause the Hobus supernova and end up moving Romulus next to Terralysium thereby saving it. No wait, that'll be series 3 with the angel suit 2.0.
 
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.

Wouldn't this make the show not in prime universe? We were told many times that it is.
 
Predicting that Spock's last scene this season will be a game of chess ending with him saying "your move", matching his first line in TOS S1E1.
 
Predicting Pike’s last scene is saying “we’ll take it, Number One...punch it” after both Enterprise and Discovery hear a distress call from Lt. James Kirk aboard the USS Farragut.

Special super secret guest voice William Shatner.
 
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.

The only time I think we see anything above impulse but still sub-warp is in TMP. When Sulu propels the Enterprise to "Warp .5, .6. .7, .8, .9... Warp 1 sir!" He never refers to it as impulse, only warp. So it must be a partial warping of space, the same as whenever there's a decimal value any other time it's used, like "Warp 8.5".
 
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.
 
Soooo if the timeline resets, I wonder if there’s a chance we may see Airiam again, in either pre or post accident form?
 
Oh and I wanna add that Id love to see the last moment of the season be in a way similar to the end of last season. Discovery returns from the future (or past) after defeating Control, however Pike was killed in the battle. First thing that happens is they get hailed by Enterprise, who has shields up and phasers locked on to Discovery. Pike comes on screen, as Enterprises captain, and asks them to identify themselves and explain who they are, as the change to the timeline has completely erased Discovery from it. The Enterprise is quite primitive compared to Discovery, similar to TOS, as certain tech advancements never happened (as Burnham doesn’t exist, so never started the Battle of the Binary Stars and the Klingon War, which resulted in new tech being made). The season ends and we will have to wait till S3 to see the outcome.

I reckon the red signals will turn out to be future Michael, who has reengineered the suit, as Control may have been stopped, but her mother died in the process, so she’s been trying to get Discovery to the places Mama Burnham shows up at in an attempt to capture her earlier than they did. I also reckon that the answer to defeating control rests on Kaminar, and that Mama Burnham needed the Kelpiens to no longer be afraid of everything to help them (and in the new future above, Kaminar remains uncontacted and pre warp, hence Saru or Kelpiens never being mentioned in the other series).
 
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

But it needs escape pods with life support like a brick needs a spoon.

My trouble with Fringe's resets is they made the cast of characters progressively less and less appealing to watch go through their motions. That's not good for a series.
