Spoilers SDCC season 3 news thread!

We all know it's a front for Bad Robot anyway.

 

It was going to be announced but Sloane stole a timeship from the DTI and came back to put the kibosh on the whole thing.

 

So you’re the reason we can’t have nice things.

 

I know it is not in vogue in the tv style of today, but I hope they go against expectations... that in fact, in the future the Federation is still there, has expanded and is thriving through its basic message of equality and working together. That through it all, the core values of the Federation are actually valuable, and helped it to bring the galaxy together. It will never happen, but it would be nice.

 

fuck canon then

 

I'd like that, too, but a future Federation that advanced would have no trouble fixing the Control problem and sending Discovery home, would it? I'm almost resigned to a dystopia/dark age, just to have some reason to keep the crew there beyond the first episode.

Have they actually confirmed what century Discovery ends up in?

 

They haven't as far as I know. They say Discovery ends up not where they thought they'd be (link). But that's a place, not necessarily a time. For the time, it's either around 3187 (2257 + 930) or around 3207 (2257 + 950). If we go strictly by what were led to believe at the end of S2. I've only been going with 33rd because Discovery has been waiting around for "almost 1,000 years" in "Calypso".

 

Star Trek: Where you're displaced almost 1,000 years further into the future, in the distant time beyond even the Temporal Wars and the first person they find is a human named Cleveland.

 

I mean, Daniels is named Daniels.

There's also the crew of the Relativity, not the from the 3000s, but still pretty far ahead.

 

Burn on, Burnham. Burn on.

 

Universal translator is weird.

 

True... although that was a cover name. The novels gave his "real" name as Timot Danlen.
ENT also implied that by then, interbreeding between species was so commonplace that he was only "mostly" human.

I mean, that entire future timeline may have been erased but still, ideas stick in the back of your head.

 

I still laugh when I see the name, travel hundreds of years and thousands of light-years to run into a human named Cleveland Booker. Someone should get Spock to calculate the odds of that actually happening.

 

If unusual names are what indicate you're from the future then, by some of you, my real name -- Roland Khorshidianzadeh -- should put me into the Distant Future. The first name is old-fashioned and the last name speaks for itself.

But I'm not. I'm from Today. Just to give people too hung up on the name Cleveland another perspective.

 

Maybe they end up in Earth's past? The name would seem far less weird if they are in the 20th/21st century USA.
