Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
As I was typing that this AM I had a friend text me, theorizing that DSC is done and the series will pick up with Pike & Co. I let him know what Kurtzman said so he’s set straight now but I guess that’s proof positive that some are taking it how I suspected they might.

The storyline in Voyager about the rogue Holograms created by the Hirogen for training was good as well.
The Hirogen and Species 8472 were great and should have been used more.
I don't think they'll stay 950 years in the future for long. It would be hard to come up with compelling technological advancements that wouldn't transform the Federation into some kind of lazy ass utopia. The alternative would be to describe a dystopian future but that's not really how star trek works.
The Cleave ship looked like it had been retextured, the hull colouring seemed different.
Says who?

Better if the actions had actually caused a reset rather than the nudge nudge wink wink I don't know what you are talking about.
It just doesn't sound enforceable, that is what they have gone with and that's that.
Unless it's not quite over yet, someone has to send that probe back in time, it's a paradox otherwise.
Says several hundred of episodes in an Ideal Federation or alternatively says me.
I'd rather wait to see what "The Future" actually is before jumping to conclusions about it. But that's just me.
One thing I'm pretty sure it's not going to be is "TNG but further down the line!" Forget about Discovery Season 3, I don't even think the Picard Series will be much like TNG. The Borg, the Dominion War, and the destruction of Romulus have probably left the Federation in a different place. We've seen too little of the post-DS9 Federation to really say what it's like. Let alone two decades later.

That had to be one of the most elaborate attempts ever to pull a show back to a status quo. I think as far as it goes they did a pretty good job bringing in Pike, Spock and the Enterprise but I never really felt like Discovery belonged in the 23rd Century anyway except to appease the die-hard oldtimers. I like that it's finally free to be whatever and they hopefully have satisfied those who just want to see the new adventures of 1966. Ideally, it would be nice if both could continue but I already see people complaining about not getting the future right!
You don’t know the future
The Borg were already 900 years old in TNG/VOY. You're over-analyzing. I'm sure something happened in-between or they're biding their time for whatever they want to do. They don't want to assimilate everything. They deemed the Kazon unworthy of assimilation. And they can't assimilate Species 8472. Other races can defend against the Borg once they know how.
I know the past which what I was speaking about. I didn't say the Disco would never go toward a dystopian future. What I am saying is that it wouldn't be Star-Trekkie. In fact, it would be the opposite of Star Trekkie.
Well, anybody that pays attention will see indicators in the Internetz that They are working on Season-3 come mid-summer.
What I am saying is that there is no modus Vivendi with the Borg. Either you fight them or you put your head in the sand hoping they'll leave you alone. I one case you'll hate to exterminate them and in the other, they'll exterminate you or put an end to your way of life if you will. You can't have Borg as your neighbor and hope that they'll leave you alone. That's antinomic with the very concept of the Borg.
