Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x13 - "Such Sweet Sorrow"

[Cyrus]

I think I'll just skip most of the show and go through the Enterprise scenes frame by frame. Stoned. Basking in my imagination of what could have been.

And what could still be if the speculation about a Pike/Enterprise series comes true.

Perhaps the faith angle comes into it because they have to send Discovery into the future the traditional way - hiding with the sphere data for a thousand years - and they can only hope it's successful in evolving its own AI enough to take care of CONTROL once it's in the right time and place to act on its own. The gamble is that Discovery will evolve into a resistance force that will have the capability to return to their current timeline to save them, too.

So my speculation is: Enterprise swoops in to rescue and evacuate. They can't destroy Discovery so they go to plan B, create a new AI in the ship itself to counter CONTROL. Then it jumps far away and hides somewhere none of them will even know (which is why the option wasn't discussed in the previous episode) and is instructed to wait for the allotted time. Then in the final episode, Enterprise is not doing so well in evading/fighting S31 and CONTROL and just when all hope is lost, Zora/Discovery appears in the present to save them. It has evolved into a caring AI and met up with Doctor Burnham and has integrated the time crystal into the spore drive tech. The crew returns to the ship which is now its own entity and now they are equipped to take out CONTROL once and for all, but it means time jumping? Ehh, i'm not so clear on how they'd end the season, but my guess is a big jump to the future post Nemesis?

Since the sphere data wouldn't allow itself to be destroyed by deletion, maybe it will assert itself in a greater way when they attempt self-destruct, thus bringing forth the Zora A.I. in the process. If they reappear in the battle as you theorize, it would be like the Enterprise-C reappearing during the battle with the Romulans at Narendra III.

That idea is worthy of a mental orgasm if I've ever heard one. I would love it if that happened.

Peck had been cagey about future plans for Spock, and one of the set designers confirmed on Twitter that the Enterprise bridge is brand new/not a redress. We'll see what happens

Well, in a few minutes the episode will drop, so we'll see.

I'm pretty excited for this. I have only one wish: no borg.

Everything's been building nicely for this. It's good to be mostly looking forward to a new episode and a finale especially. Only a minor touch of apprehension!

[Romulan_spy]

That docking sequence with Enterprise was very cool!

 

[Daddy Todd]

Ahhhh, here we go on Amazon!

 

[Romulan_spy]

Enterprise bridge looks great. They have the same little color squares on the back consoles as in TOS.

 

[Romulan_spy]

So far this episode has been absolutely epic and we are only 15 mn in.

That's the spirit Number One! Always have a bigger gun!

I think the briefing room is meant to be in the front of the saucer, with the three round port holes

 

[Romulan_spy]

We need a Star Trek series with this new TOS Enterprise!!
