One assumes he means the flashforward coda in Discovery.
Ah. It's been a minute, but I don't remember that resembling the scene from Titanic or the scene imagined by @The Wormhole. I'll admit I could be wrong and could easily rewatch the scene later, if I had any desire to rewatch the end of Discovery, which I don't.One assumes he means the flashforward coda in Discovery.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Carolyn Helming "Very Special" Ep. 404
Director Axelle Carolyn announced that they would be directing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 Ep. 4, "a very special episode."bleedingcool.com
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 still doesn’t have a premiere date set on the 2025 TV schedule, but fans with a Paramount+ subscription can take comfort knowing there will be more to follow this next batch of episodes. Strange New Worlds Season 4 was greenlit in April 2024, and filming finally commenced earlier this month. Needless to say it’ll be a long time until we see what Season 4 has to offer, but new information has come to light that has now has me wondering if one of those things will be a horror episode.
This thought came to mind after seeing director Axelle Carolyn share on Instagram that she’s in Toronto, Canada to helm a “very special episode” of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. She thanked show creators Akira Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers for “trusting” her with Season 4’s fourth episode, so clearly something interesting is being cooked up. Carolyn also mentioned that she’s been a fan of this franchise ever since a friend of her introduced her to First Contact, one of the higher-ranking Star Trek movies, “some 25 years ago.”
So why do I think Carolyn coming aboard Strange New Worlds Season 4? Well, just look at her body of work. Among the TV shows she’s directed episodes for include The Haunting of Bly Manor, Creepshow, American Horror Story, The Midnight Club, Mayfair Witches and Them. With a resume like that, it’s hard to imagine that Carolun’s Strange New Worlds episode won’t have at least some frightening elements.

[patrickstewart] We're not here to have FUN! [/patrickstewart]I'm not really the biggest horror fan around, but should SNW do a horror episode, I'm there for it. Star Trek is supposed to be fun, and nothing can be more fun than the kind of genre bending a horror episode promises to be.
Horror is a lot of things. From Dracula to Saw. It's often SF's kissing cousin.I'm not really the biggest horror fan around, but should SNW do a horror episode, I'm there for it.

TOS Catspaw is the closest to 'Horror' the 23rd century Trek era came.I'm not really the biggest horror fan around, but should SNW do a horror episode, I'm there for it. Star Trek is supposed to be fun, and nothing can be more fun than the kind of genre bending a horror episode promises to be.
Oh, I dunno about that. I mean, at least half of The Devil in the Dark is about a "monster" running the basement and melting people. That's half the scifi horror movies ever made. The Galileo Seven is about a crew crashed landed on a scary planet populated by hostile aliens that want to brutally murder them. Charlie X is basically Carrie before Carrie. TOS is absolutely filled with horror tropes and concepts.TOS Catspaw is the closest to 'Horror' the 23rd century Trek era came.
Nah just cheesy SF."Spock's Brain" is bloodless body horror, I suppose.
Devil in the Dark is Alien, but the Xenomorph is just a misunderstood mom.Oh, I dunno about that.

Plus the whole Jack the Ripper thing!The multiple murders in Wolf in the Fold would make it horror-adjacent, for sure.
