Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

"canon" is a bit overrated anyway, I mean they keep retconning everything all the time, plus I don't think I am the only one but I don't really care about canon.
 
Canon is brainwashing or putting the blinders on people like they are a horse.

Does anyone see the tension building between Burnham, Stamets, Booker and Doc? Near the end of the most recent episode when everyone was cuddling, Stamets turned his noise up at Burnham. There is animosity there.
Although most are assuming that Booker was able to use the Spore Drive to jump the Discovery out of the Viridian, we never actually see that moment.
If Booker did use the Spore Drive then Stamets is no longer the 'core' of the Discovery and Booker might be leaving Discovery to teach other Kwejian how to become Spore Pilots as well as developing their own version of a Kwejian Spore Drive.

With the Federation now having a grip on Sa'Kul's planet and its vast amounts of dilithium, obtaining a Spore Drive and using the Spore Drive instead of a Warp Core does seem more lucrative.
When the Discovery does return, it is going to be interesting to see what happens with the Kwejian and those who might come after the Kwejian and actually capture a Spore Pilot and a Kwejian Spore Drive.

We don't have to see it happen to know it did. How else did they get out and back to the Nebula?

The entire scene leading up to it had him doing it.

Look, sometimes if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Book was in the Spore Cube, his empathic DNA or whatever was doing it's thing, and the ship jumped out of the Viridian before it exploded.

They didn't show the jump itself to raise a bit of tension, that's all.

Don't overthink it.

If Booker did use the Spore Drive...
He did...
 
Canon is what allows people to view shows in the greater context of a shared world and makes it far more immersive and exciting than episodes in a bubble. It's flexible but it certainly matters.
 
I can't believe my mentioning "Calypso" is what led to this whole thing.

Wait. No. Who I am kidding? I can believe it...

Anyway, Michelle Paradise does mention "Calypso" in this interview from January 8, 2021. I'll quote what she says.

“Well, first of all, ‘Calypso’ is incredible. I mean, it’s just, we love it. And it is now a part of Trek canon, but specifically our show’s canon.

It takes place many, many years beyond where our heroes are right now, and at some point, we will absolutely have to match up with that so that Discovery as a whole, including ‘Calypso,’ all fits together as a piece.

So certainly bringing in that voice in episode four and having — we’ll call her Zora, she doesn’t have a name at this point — but having her hide in the DOTs and be part of the story in 12 and 13 is the beginning of driving toward that.

And eventually — who knows when? — we will absolutely have to make sure that we sync up with that.”

I didn't say it doesn't matter. But the level of detail demanding makes it less enjoyable. It's the hyperfocus on details that makes me fatigued. Largely because it becomes an argument without an end because my level of knowledge doesn't match other fans and some how that means lesser enjoyment on some level. :shrug:
 
Anyone else notice a strange trend of people saying things like " I can't see this getting a season 4" or even denying the season 4 production as rumours as if it can somehow come true if they say it enough times.

Does this happen every season ?
