Yeah, that's why I was thinking of Inception the moment it started, I just have no idea how expensive it would be and whether Discovery's budget allowed for it.

But how can they express this character growth if they aren't allowed to discuss anything about what happened to Discovery or its crew?
You're right, the anthology part was rejected. Instead, we've got the same crew traveling to a different time period.

They were onboard the Discovery along with the time crystal so they could be shown to be immune too.
Anyone that has been anywhere near that crystal would qualify, including L'Rell.
In the way they act?
The Discovery crew can, and they're the ones we're watching.
I heard Terralysium as the goal when I was listening as well. When Burnham and Spock were discussing the point of each signal, wasn't that what they said as the point of that episode? Basically they saved that world so they'd have a place to go in the future? it was kinda loud with all of the pew pew, but that's what I thought I got from that bit. otherwise, what was the point of Terralysium, exactly?
I've seen Crouching Tiger. CBS can't fool me. I know Michelle Yeoh can fly. I don't know about the other two though.
Knowing what Michelle Yeoh is capable of, she probably made them fly all by herself.
Just finished bingeing the last 5 episodes, and I gave the finale a 7. It had a lot of great elements, but I felt the battle went on too long. That’s not normally a bad thing but if all the Section 31 ships were controlled by an AI then I would have expected them to be a lot more effective. In fact I felt it a bit unbelievable that Control couldn’t just remotely take over the Enterprise and Discovery computers. Then again, maybe I’m just ascribing Control too much power because of David Mack’s Control novel. 
I’m pleased they’ve jumped to the future for the rest of the show. It’s what the show should have been in the first place IMHO as that removes any worries about contradicting continuity. In fact, the simple presence of Spock and Pike meant I knew there was no chance of defeat or failure. That said this change does potentially have implications for the Picard show!
I’m not sure the ending fixes all the continuity issues like the producers promised either, for example the Klingons still look very different. I don’t really have a problem with that (in fact I rolled my eyes when Enterprise explained the original change in design), I’m just observing that they didn’t tie as neat a bow on things like I expected.
I felt all the stuff with the time suit was a bit odd too, I didn’t really understand why it couldn’t be done from inside the ship (the wormhole appears well away from the suit) and I didn’t get how the suit was able to create those beacons as it seemingly wasn’t part of the original suit’s design.
Also, there were way too many overlong emotional goodbyes. They were in the middle of a pitched battle with every second crucial to stopping more people being killed by hull breaches or console explosions yet they all had time to waste saying goodbye, it just seemed unprofessional of Star Fleet officers. When you have Pike carrying on after seeing the most harrowing of futures you’d hope the rest could be as strong.
Still, bring on the Pike show, I definitely want to see more of that crew and I n particular I really liked Ethan Peck’s Spock.

Michelle Paradise confirmed that Pike called Number One Una

Also Yeoman Colt is now an alien, maybe.

If you think that DS9 describes a dystopian future then you have no idea what dystopian means. What Sisko think of as an extreme measure "In The Pale Moonlight" doesn't even qualify as everyday fare for our politicians, even the most "honorable" ones and I don't think that we live in a dystopian present, far from it. "1984", THAT's dystopian!!!
10/10 for the production, 3/10 for the writing (and those 3 points are only because they had some excellent emotional moments, despite those moments being utterly unearned and put together haphazardly). The charisma of the actors keeps it all together and we get an episode average of... maybe 7/10 on the Discovery scale and 4/10 on the scale of other modern television or the Trek franchise as a whole.
Really can't say enough about the quality of the production. Not a big fan of beardless Peck, as it makes it so much clearer his lack of resemblance to Nimoy, though I do think he has managed to embody the character quite well in his physicality and line delivery. Particularly impressed with Burnham's flight scene, as we've seen similar scenes many times now and yet they managed to make it feel fresh and different.

So the Paradise interview over at Trekcore has quite a bit of hedging about Nhan's fate. That makes me think that either the actor might not be returning or Control also put itself into her. Hm...it's a little odd how she goes down on screen in this episode, too.
I hope neither is true.

The planet in that episode wouldn't qualify for Federation membership, since they clearly have no one-world government.
Unless there's no hope of Discovery (or at least the crew) ever making it back to 2257, this question is still open.
What's the latest on that, BTW? Have the showrunners abandoned all hope of a return to the 23rd century? Will the 3rd season involve any attempts to do so?
Unless that Colt was an alien who just happened to have a name that (when translated into English) sounds like Colt. The real, human one could also be on the ship, elsewhere.
Which seems more likely, anyway. In TOS, Colt was not a bridge officer. She was just a yeoman.

Finale was awesome - it actually makes a perfect closure to Discovery. I have my doubts about next season, though. I think I'd much rather have a Captain Pike Season 2 than a reboot of Andromeda...
I always find it odd the assumption that in order for VOY to work it must be dark, gritty and depressing.
They are trapped 70 years from home, alone, without any supplies or back up.
Yeah I think it's realistic to expect the crew to suffer low moral and the ship to not be maintained in factory mint conditions.
Shinny, sterile and clean was TNG, the franchise didn't need a TNG live.
The last episode obviously had a huge budget. But also, since Inception proved that you can (and more importantly, showed how) shoot a rotational scene, I'd imagine it didn't cost as much to build a set like that than it could have.
