Spoilers Season 3 Comic-Con reveals

One way Discovery can get a happy ending and still preserve canon is if their return to the 23rd century creates an alternate 23rd century distinct from the Prime Timeline, the way Nero created an alternate timeline in ST 2009.

They can return to the prime timeline fine as long as they stay out of history’s way.
 
Burnham: Sarek, what do you mean I'm not invited to Spock's Fal-tor-pan?
Seemed a bit spur of the moment, there might not have been enough time for Burnham get there. Maybe thats why Sarek and Amanda missed Spock's Wedding/Fight to the Death.
 
With what, 6 members remaining (if that)? -- Yeah, right. ;)

Maybe it's kinda like how China went through the Warring States period. Everyone still agrees that the concept of the state still exists, but there's dispute about which successor government actually holds it.

Feels like they are just going to ignore the hyperadvancement we've already seen of the 29th and 31st centuries.
 
I think more time has passed for Burnham than passed for the crew of the Discovery. Discovery has been out there for a year. Burnham's hair is almost down to her waist. I didn't cut my hair for an entire year once, when I was in high school. It sure didn't reach my waist by the end of it.

I think Burnham arrives in the 32nd Century ahead of Discovery. Similiar to how Nero and Spock arrived in the Kelvin 23rd Century at different points.

EDIT: And because Burnham has spent more time with the Future Federation, I think they'll put her in command of Discovery when it arrives.

That's how you get Burnham as Captain.

Bam! Figured it out. I'd actually bet money that's how it happens. I'm that sure of it.

Well, I sure salons have something akin to dermal regenerators that allow stylists to naturally lengthen hair.
 
A thought occurred to me. Will the events of ST: Picard show the beginning of how the Federation declines? Then we see how Discovery tries to rebuild it in their show? Kurtzman has talked about the Marvel Cinematic Universe before and how it could be applied to Trek. I do agree with him here. There are also smaller character based stories to be told all across the timeline, not just having one long arc. I hope we get to see that happen too.

There certainly seems to be a...vibe with that admiral Picard is with. Like a Starfleet that's sick of being invaded and attacked.
One that's getting more militant and some of the other worlds probably don't like it.
 
Keeping the "franchise" feel of Trek is fine: it served TNG, DS9 and VOY well when they ran concurrently. It may not be absolutely necessary, of course. But franchises are a big thing, and considered absolutely vital in the movie industry that to a lamentable degree dares not operate outside said any longer. I don't see a single reason why PIC would not be tightly tied with DSC (and all the older stuff so readily found at Memory Alpha if the writers so wish), in terms of plotlines as well as trivialities. I mean, it's not as if "tight" ever could amount to "tight enough to tie the hands of the writers", with a fictional millennium between the actual plotlines and all.

I don’t think so, too much time in-universe between the two series.

I think more time has passed for Burnham than passed for the crew of the Discovery.

This was confirmed at SDCC
 
It's a win-win situation of sorts: DSC can say "Oh, now I found the domino - it all went to Hell because of Hitler" and PIC can actually show how "It all went to Hell because of Napoleon" and there'd no contradiction, just addition.

Perhaps the first steps towards an Evil Federation or an Evil Alliance Against the Federation are taken in the 2390s, and bigger leaps in the 2530s, and these are related but no more closely than Black Thursday and the Vietnam War. That is, the fans can connect the dots, but they aren't required to.
