Hence him still calling both Jadzia and Ezri "Old Man."
He's lucky they don't refer to him as "squirt!".
The Founders have them beat in being the “polymorphous perverse” as the old saying goes.
The entirety of Star Trek V, including Kirk's "die alone" line, is a Rigellian fever dream.
Or maybe Spock toasted bad marshmallows...
For some reason, Spock refers to them as "marshmelons." There's a non-canonical explanation for why on the Marshmallow page at Memory Alpha: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Marshmallow.
Vulcan "marshmelons " (which how they call them in the movie) are terribly chewy, they make your jaws hurt.
The novelization has that McCoy's practical joke was extensive enough to include the sing-a-long. By the time they got back to their vacation at the end, Spock had learned of McCoy's joke, and learned how to play 'Row, row, row your boat' on his Vulcan lyre to make the effort more practical than joke. He also learned the correct pronunciation of marshmallow.
That's the "in-universe" explanation. I wonder if they did it on purpose or if they were actually mistaken as to the correct pronunciation of "marshmallow"...
Well, since the novelization is usually adapted from one or more earlier drafts of the shooting script, it's likely to be intentional.
Didn't they actually merchandise those "marshmellons"? Maybe that had something to do with it. Or maybe they thought it was a cute future distortion of the name?
Kraft released a plastic marshmallow dispenser that you could get through the company and with proofs-of-purchase from their products(?).

I'm hoping it will settle down next season. I think they should have started from the 32nd century in the first place personally. I think like any other Trek it has it's good and bad. The lack of a cohesive Captain has done it no favours and again, hopefully that'll balance out in the 4th season.
If it's because they have psychic powers sure (though the ship sailed long ago on that one for Star Trek), but sometimes peoples intuition or guess is correct. I agree though that people treating that comment as a prophecy is odd.
The Return of Kirk novels actually give a reason for Kirk believing this.
DSC is my least-favorite live action Trek by a light-year. It's not even close. It really needs to take the good from Season 3 and build on that or it's just going to keep wallowing down there at the bottom despite all the talent involved.
