Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x10 - "The Galactic Barrier"

[Visitor1982]

Not true.

The only "New Earth" we know anything about is the planet where Janeway and Chakotay were marooned in VOY's "Resolutions". There is no such planet in DSC.

And these "leaked documents" you speak of? Show us, or they don't exist.

The documents were shared by Captain Xavi of Earth in April 2020. It was a departmental e-mail in which the setting for Starfleet Academy was mentioned as being set on New Earth... It didn't make any sense then. We'll see if it makes sense now.

Earth doesn’t have to be destroyed to create New Earth. New York wasn’t created because York was destroyed.

 

[Search4]

Ok my hypothesis- Burnham has this role arbitrating between planets. Either earth gets destroyed or Ni’var. She picks the Federation member. Mike drop.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

She'd find a way to pick a third option. Like Risa maybe!

 

[TimeIsAPredator]

Stupid sexy Risa

 

[fireproof78]

Getting rid of Risa would be fine by me.

 

[Lord Garth]

Getting rid of Risa would be fine by me.

Thanks, Worf!

 

[fireproof78]

Thanks, Worf!

Doing my best.

IDK about any planets getting destroyed or seriously damaged in the end, but the new level of peace and understanding between President Rillak and Captain Burnham makes me think the President won't survive.

i hope she does: I really like what they are doing with her. And just because they finally reach on the current issues doesn’t mean she won’t throw burnham under the bus in future situations: she’s a cunning politician after all.

That's my initial reaction too. I hope I am wrong and she does live but it will surprise me.

 

[jackoverfull]

In any case, this is the first time in Star Trek we have a federation president that’s more than a glorified extra and I’m loving it. (Well, in canon Trek, Hidden Frontier had a great one as well)

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I wouldn't like it either, but it's the type of thing they would do after making that character so likeable.

 

[The Wormhole]

I think I got it. Starfleet Command gets destroyed, though most everyone manages to evacuate except for Admiral Vance who stays behind to die the noble death because drama. Starfleet reestablishes its HQ on Earth, which has once again been readmitted into the Federation and the newly promoted Admiral Michael Burnham takes over as head of Starfleet.

I'm still not happy about Burnham commanding a single ship, never mind being in command of Starfleet itself. But I very much suspect that's where the show will end up. That, or her becoming President of the Federation.

 

[The Wormhole]

That, or her becoming President of the Federation.

Nah, I see President of the Federation being what Michael ends up as at the end of season 5.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Nah, I see President of the Federation being what Michael ends up as at the end of season 5.

And at the end of season 6....a Q?

 

[dupersuper]

In 1000 years the idea that a targeting computer might make an error will be as absurd as a pocket calculator failing to do a simple addiction.

Damn junkie calculators...

I hope I live long enough to see a new, fairer society emerging.

According to Star Trek we have to get through sanctuary districts, WW3 and the post-atomic horror first...
Does any one have the number of one of those cryogenic facilities with their own spaceships?

 

[jackoverfull]

According to Star Trek we have to get through sanctuary districts, WW3 and the post-atomic horror first...

I know. But since we apparently we got trough the eugenic wars without me noticing, I hope I won’t notice those either.
