Poll Season 3 Federation

[Jayson1]

I'm confused about the timeline. Isn't season 3 like a couple of hundred years after the Enterprise J and also Captain Braxton and the timeships and speaking of timeships you would think that is something that will have to be addressed. At some point Starfleet will be going backwards and I suppose forward in time as routine as they do warp drive.

Ent-J and the key battle in the TCW was in the 26th century.

The Suliban Futureguy from Ent was from the 28th century.

USS Relativity and Braxton were from the 29th century.

Daniels was from the 31st century.

Discovery has been transported to the 33rd century.

That means if we do see a Enterprise we might talking something like the Enterprise-Z at this point. What does Starfleet do if it still exists once it does run out of letters in the alphabet.

Personally I voted for other.

Here's my idea: The Federation and the other races we're familiar with have ascended beyond the mortal plane in to a Q-like existence, split in to factions similar to Babylon 5's Vorlons and Shadows, or Stargate's Ancients and Ori.

There are younger races in the Galaxy.

Perhaps one ascended faction believes they should be guided and moulded, whereas the other believes in war and chaos and Nietzschian natural selection. Perhaps one faction believes in teaching, the other believes in non-interference. Perhaps one side believes in science and logic but the other believes in faith and worship.

These sort of conflicts have worked well in other sci-fi universes. A Star Trek version could be really interesting.

Humans aren't around anymore and an automated shipyard system just keeps churning out new Enterprises like crazy.

Remember this will still be "Discovery." Once they get to the future we find out the Federation worships a God named Burnham. The Enterprise Legacy is forgotten and the flagship is USS-Discovery-E. The loud screeching sound people we will hear when watching will be the thousands of keyboard tapings as Youtube is flooded with anti-Discovery videos!

Sounds legit.

I wonder if mirror Georgiou will learn that the Terran Empire in the Mirror Universe collapsed in the early 24th century and was conquered by the Klingons and Cardassians, even though the 32nd century Discovery ends up in is supposed to be the future of the prime universe.

'cuz they didn't listen to this guy.

Personally, I think if Starfleet still hasn't figured out after 1000 years that the entire 'alphabet' system is ridiculous and utterly unnecessary, then that will be one of the dumber things in the history of the franchise. There's no reason why paying homage to the name Enterprise should endlessly involve recycling the same registry number over and over again. Registry numbers literally exist so that you can differentiate between all ships even if some have identical or similar names.

I know but it became a thing and people liked the thing so they will keep making it a thing. It's also something that is used only by one ship and that is the Enterprise. Everyone else gets disposable registry numbers.

Most of the galaxy would have been wiped out in the massive jihads between the Red Angel worshippers and the Great Bird of the Galaxy followers.

And, due to a catastrophic mythological mix-up, the Red Angel worshippers have mistaken the Pah-Wraiths for their deity hundreds of years ago. The results haven't been nice.

Thankfully the Indian natives on that one planet have now achieved space flight and warp speed and have been spreading the peaceful message of Kirok across the galaxy, bringing peace to most worlds.

No joke, I'd love to see a future in which various random events, characters and elements of Trek lore have transcended into myth, taking a wildly different form from how we saw them on screen, like Garak as a trickster god in the Bajor sector, or Kirk and the Enterprise being the subject of a Greek-style heroic epic; maybe even something like the medieval codex filled with main characters from Babylon 5's Canticle for Leibowitz-style bad future.

Or we could have some future archaeologists trying to reconstruct the 23rd-24th centuries from fragmented records, making wildly inaccurate guesses akin to those Quarren did about Voyager in Living Witness, like mistaking Quark's self-promotion for religious icons, conflating Picard and Sisko and things like that.

I think that would be cool as well. That's kind of what I am hoping for in season 3. I want the future to be kind of like that TNG episode were we first meet the Traveler or 2001. I want it to be weird and strange filled with lots of awe and the humanoids of the time period have little to no knowledge of the past except like you said. Stuff we have seen and stuff that was around now more like myths of some golden age existence.

Basically how I suspect how Christians must feel in terms of what it was like back in the day when you had Jesus around and miracles being performed. A time when magic seemed possible. Not so much some dark distopia in the future just a more grounded and less exciting time for the average humanoids were maybe space travel isn't possible for most of them and thus don't know what is going on out in space and what the past was really like.

This makes me imagine a Lord of the Rings-style aesthetics for the setting, with all the rural-medieval type folks living their lives in the shadow of the ruins of a glorious past. And sweeping vistas. Lots of sweeping vistas. Or something like Split in Croatia, with the medieval houses built into the ruins of Diocletian's palace (and, of course, all the repurposed ancient buildings used to this day in Rome).
