Spoilers A big hint about the finale/season 3 has dropped...

But I still don't have a flying car...

Just because you don't have them doesn't mean they haven't functionally existed since the 1940s. It just means that most everybody else doesn't want one and you're not willing to fork out the money it will cost you to have one. Say this one for instance has been driving and flying around since 2012:

Mama Burnham could already be under the control of Control, or working in cahoots with it. :shifty:

If she's spent the last "thousand years" watching how cruel sentient life can be, she could've fallen off the sanity wagon some point along the way.
 
We've passed a number of milestones that would suggest this. 1999, 2001, 2010, every single replicant from Blade Runner's incept dates. not to mention that we are well past the eras of 'modern' as well as 'post-modern'. But hey, YMMV.
Not to mention actual Back to the Future future of 2015. But yeah still no flying cars.
 
There's always a crystal lurking around somewhere....

Oh, I still have that one on a shelf somewhere. Must be like 10 to 15 years since I read this. I don't even remember if I liked it.
 
Burnham: We failed in our mission! Control won't gain access to the sphere data immediately, but will do so in hiding over the 23rd and 24th centuries. And we can't warn Starfleet Command their victory is an illusion because we fell into a wormhole into the future!

Saru: Brace for impact! There's a woman over there...

Burnham: Mom?

(Dr. Burnham turns around revealing Borg gear): Resistance is futile.

:borg:
Excuse me...


:barf:
 
Rename the show Star Trek: Self-Discovery

Discovery can be a theme. Within the series and without. I certainly discover new things all the time. What's on screen, what's the intent, where they're going, and especially telling are discovering reactions and what they reveal. But also discovering how it all connects together and discovering more about things we thought we knew but didn't. I think one thing we can all agree on -- or most of us -- is liking discovering more about Pike.

Granted, I'm still in favor of keeping the ship. ;)

According to VOY, temporal psychosis is a real thing and happens after just a handful of jumps, so..... :brickwall:
 
I mean, I figure time travel would make anyone crazy. Also, possibly causing cell damage since Seven eventually tied from it.
Well Dr. Burnham's magical Red Angel suit could revive Michael from near death, so maybe it was healing her too?
 
It's possible Dr. Burnham upgraded her suit with all sorts of futuristic tech from leftover computers in the future she was stuck in.

That was the vibe I got from her.
