Discovery Season Four: Predictions, Speculation & Off The Wall Theories
- Thread starter Nerys Myk
- Start date
Klingon invasion.
A full season of just an empty Discovery waiting for the crew to return from some mission, and some amusing quips by an evolving Zora along the way.
I just want them to explore how the sphere data has given the ship a personality, and what that means for it's relationship to the crew and to the tasks they perform. They introduced the ideas this year, but didn't do anything meaningful with it. More, please.
Also, more Saru. Always more Saru.

They'll probably try to figure out some way to help Grey have some physical form since he's clearly more than just memories and personality in the Trill symbiont and Culber being a doctor will try to figure that out.
Seeing the worlds that were previously part of the Federation, to some extent. I can't see the whole season being about going from planet-to-planet with Discovery giving them dilithium. That's their stated mission right now, but I imagine we'll be skipping over a year where that would be happening.
So the main story of Season 4 will be something totally new to Season 4 and not rooted in Season 3.

Getting Earth to join. They were conveniently left out of the epilogue at the end when we saw the Trill and Vulcans return. Many people on Earth will want to join but a Trump like leader refuses because he doesn't want to give up his power of being secondary to a bunch of alien worlds. Even wants to put up the earth shield on a every moment occasion.

The Voyager Doctor's mobile holo emitter is already centuries old by this point. Also I didn't see any indication Su'Kal's ship was necessarily irreplaceable holographic tech wise, so I'm not sure why Starfleet can't pull up the specs of that ship and use those same holo emitters to give Gray a new body.
As for Season 4, I can't think of any bigger way to smash up that optimistic Season 3 ending than having the season premiere open with a full Borg invasion of Kaminar, with all Ba'ul and Kelpiens including Su'Kal assimilated and Saru barely escaping.
The Borg, having incorporated Su'kal's biological distinctiveness to their own, cause a new Burn that cripples the galaxy again, and then go on an assimilation spree.
Panicked, Admiral Vance orders the forcible conscription of all Kwejian to power the Federation's new spore-drive fleet to stop the Borg. Book, angered at the Federation's sudden betrayal and enslavement of his people, goes rogue, swears revenge against Burnham and the Federation, and steals the SB-19 data to give it to the Klingons.
Craft shows up out of nowhere and tries to destroy Federation HQ (he's at war with the V'Draysh remember), but is only stopped by the appearance of Discovery, which he recognizes. However Discovery and the sphere data have no idea who Craft is (wibbly wobbly timey wimey), leading the crew and Vance to realize, to their horror, that to preserve their timeline they have to break the ban on time travel, as they now know Discovery has to be sent back in time 1,000 years to explain Craft's recognition.
Vance reluctantly allows Discovery to be sent back in time. However, an assimilated Detmer (who looks like a Borg anyway) was aboard when it was sent back, and Detmer thus becomes the first Borg queen (meaning the Borg have no origin and in fact are a temporal ontological paradox).
Well, that would be a quick way to end interest for me.
So just like Kirk then?
Aurelio and Stamets form a professional bond, both working to get through their feelings of resentment and betrayal towards Osyraa and Burnham, respectively.
I know they will, but it really doesn't make any sense. Normally, Gray's personality, memories etc. would have joined with those of the other hosts, including Adira's. But since she is Human and wasn't prepared at all to join with a Trill symbiont, she developed a schizoid condition that lets her see Gray as an actual person. The Kelpien holodeck probably just didn't know what to make of that and just made Gray a seperate holo character.
I think they should leave it at that and say good bye to Gray, but they are probably desperately looking for a way to include him in future episodes ... doesn't make any sense at all, but when has that ever stopped them?
There will be a big mystery that they will have to solve and by the end of the season it will be all revealed.
People will get emotional and teary eyed.
People will make long speeches.
Burnham will tell everyone she has changed.
People will remind Burnham that she is special and important.
Things go boom.

Yes, but nowhere near as believable.
More what happened to...? Stuff where we learn the 30th century fates of the Klingons, Ferengi, Borg etc.
