Or it could be that craft is from a timeline where the discovery crew died transiting the wormhole and the emerald chain absorbed the Federation and became the V'draysh.
Spoilers I think I cracked "Calypso"
- Thread starter Lord Garth
- Start date
Gotta start with that VOY episode where they visit the Big Bang.
Ah, the old Bobby Ewing gambit.
That's a reference I haven't heard in a LONG time... Or, I understood that reference. Take your pick.

(I did this one for another purpose
)
I was six and never actually saw that, even though I know what it is, but... Oh God. That better NOT be what happens!
Knots Landing established that the 1985-86 season of Dallas was real, and it was the rest of the series that was somebody’s dream.
Alternatively, Knots Landing was in an alternate timeline where Bobby died "for real".
Has anyone posited that Calypso Discovery was hiding the Progenitor tech instead of hiding Zora from Control?
Like others have said, they can always adjust the idea.

Almost — but from the dates, she’s been there something like a century and change, not a thousand years as she said in “Calypso”. Though she could have been mistaken about that if she was dreaming.
Leaving it vague works, whether you want it to be a dream or different timeline. Pretty creative I thought.
There’s been more than one point this season where I thought they were about to explain “Calypso”, then didn’t. I think I have to accept that here’s what really happened:
When “Calypso” was written, it was vaguely planned that by the end of the following season Discovery would be going to the future, and “Calypso” was meant to fit in with that. But by the time the jump-forward actually happened, both show runners and plot had changed, so it no longer did. Elements like Zora were introduced, but at the end of the day they just didn’t get around to a full explanation—not least because who wants to divert the entire show, anyway? So with the show ending, unless something really drastic happens, yeah—it’s an alternate universe now, and that’s fine. It’s still a beautiful story.

I'm starting to think it's not going to be this.
However...
With Discovery and its characters already having been sent through time, space, and dimension this season -- and we're only half-way through -- this could still happen.
I'm prepared for this whole thing to go up in smoke, but we'll see. I'm still hoping I might be at least partially right.
I don't quite understand how they will reference Calypso at all at this point. There's one episode left, and it's just going to (try to) wrap up the plot threads for the season, since they didn't know the show was getting cancelled. Any extra bits they filmed later probably won't amount to much having to do with Calypso, if at all. Which, honestly, is probably a good thing. If all they were intending to do was shoehorn in some extra scenes to take Calypso out of context just to satisfy fans who really didn't need any closure to it anyway, what's the point? Just let it be its own thing in its own separate continuity and leave it at that.
This isn't about satisfaction. I'm not going to hate the finale if it doesn't address any of this. It's just a mind game.
Aside from that, the Portal that Burnham and Moll went through is a Pandora's Box. "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!"
