Seems odd that people would want another prequel. I just want to look ahead.

We're getting at least two shows in the future now - I don't see such an issue with another show being in established territory, especially given the new viewers which Discovery has brought in.
 
I don't think it will another Control arc, people could quickly get sick of it. I think they'll find something else.
 
Actually if they are now in the future why did she put out a red signal in the present that anyone looking would have seen?

Can't those dead nanites in the spore chamber reactivate?
 
Great episode, despite some plot holes.

Don't understand how Yeoh can lead a Section31 series in the 23rd century, when Discovery just went a 1000 years into the future permanently with her onboard though...

They still have a time suit maybe it i'll get used to send her back or something.
 
They did say in the previous episode that nearly all of their fleet was there which stands to reason there might be at least one ship Control has in hiding as backup.
That really wont surprise me but it wont do it any good as the data is beyond its reach.

Its more likely that Control was smarter than they realise and stowed away on the Discovery and went with it into the future, who knows what Control got up to while it was there.
 
Its a bit suspicious that they stay with the Enterprise instead of giving us a glimpse of where the Discovery and Burnham end up.

They may not end up 950 years ahead at all or find out quickly that they brought a version of Control with them which will enable it to send the probe back in time thus avoiding a reset.

Or they somehow ended up going back in time, to the Delta Quadrant....
 
I really enjoyed the finale, although I have a few issues.

Firstly, they were trying a bit too hard to tie up with Canon. Some of it felt organic, and some felt forced.

Secondly, they give with one hand and push their luck with the other: dozens of fighter ships, repair robots out of W.A.L.L-E.

Thirdly, with over 100 crew, they probably have 30 enginineers so I'm unclear why they delegate disabling a torpedo to the captain, first officer, and an admiral who trained as a counselor.

The worst part for me was Burnham's and Spock's languid lack of urgency. They spend maybe 4 minutes having a heart to heart while the shields are dropping and people are dying. Save your heart to hearts for log entries, not emergencies guys; that really is illogical.

At least the writers will be free to screw with Canon in the next season and if they are not planning some kind of Pike spin off, even a limited one, they are most definitely laying it on thick.
 
Well that was, erm, explosive.

An hour of frantically shot battle sequence and... not a lot else. Pew pew, pew pew. Georgiou summed it up nicely: "this is boring. I hate boring"

Wasn't the whole point of going to the future to evade control? With Control "neutralised", what was the point of going?

The interrogation scene was odd. Name and rank? "Number one". No, it's not. The spore drive must be hidden on pain of treason? Why? What's that got to do with this situation?

I guess the Klingons didn't care Tyler was alive and their chancellor lied to them, after all.

Final scene was lovely. If they don't do a pike series, they're crazy.

Since Discovery is going forward 1000 years, every set before this is now a prequel - I look forward for the calls for the Picard show to be cancelled.

If not a series, a movie or just a mini series.
 
After season one and the MU plot, season two became the start of the real Discovery with the crew coming to the fore. Except Enterprise Pike and Spock come along to drive the plot. Now they’re gone, in season three they can REALLY have the start of Discovery - just them, the Discovery crew working together on their own adventures

Season one annoyed me, I’ve enjoyed season two, having to go to the future seems awkward but I’m looking forward to seeing what the crew can do on their own

Leland was neutralized. Easy to imagine there's a backup of Control out there somewhere. We've seen it having taken over other people.

The spore drive's operation is illegal where Federation law is concerned and that's only the start of things. So if you want any development discouraged you classify the tech and don't make punishment a slap on the wrist.

Tyler was only a problem while there was opposition to L'Rell. I guess she's dealt with that problem by eliminating it, so he no longer needs to be 'dead'.
