She lives
Yes, she lives! It honestly makes more sense given their hopes for Year One. Her dying isn't going to make it more less likely that she's never mentioned again in TOS compared to moving on and just being a colleague from a few years earlier. I vote for her becoming Una's first officer and having Kirk on casual basis.
Una gets her own ship and brings La'An and Ortegas over as XO and CHO. Maybe Pelia too as CEO, .
I'd love this. I'm not sure Pelia's safe to be an unsupervised CEO
At the end of Season 1 we saw in an alternate realty that La'an became Kirk's first office. It makes sense that Una would get the Farragut instead of Kirk as he gets the Enterprise, La'an is still the first officer and Ortegas goes with them or perhaps takes a very different job - I could see her embracing a test pilot life. Pelia floats on as CEO or finds some entirely new role. It will be interesting to find out why Una ultimately doesn't get the Enterprise but Kirk does. Una has more experience and knows the ship better. Kirk, in his current state, is an odd choice. Perhaps he does something particularly heroic to earn it.

The mission a different ship is going on may appeal to her somehow (territory covered, goal of mission), or perhaps she takes a stable position (commodore of a station, academy teacher). Maybe she does get it briefly, until the 5YM begins - he might shadow her?
All good possibilities. I feel like they've been setting her up to be a starship captain. She isn't married and doesn't have children often seems to prompt officers to take the more stable positions. Who knows, perhaps if she moves to a new ship then she could have La'an as a first officer whereas she would have to have Kirk on the Enterprise. I thought it was odd in TNG when the implied that Riker would automatically become the captain if something happened to Picard. It was the flaship so I would expect an experienced captain to take over rather than a brand new captain. The prompted first officer would be better off to get a less significant ship touring a safter area. This could be the thinking with Una although why they would give it to Kirk is not yet known. I assume he's going to do something spectacular and they just have to have him!
Could be they give it to Kirk because he's the type of captain they want to give the 5ym to, not because he's Kirk. There's a pool of candidates Kirk falls into (all who are young (relatively), experienced at the same level, well-rounded, etc.)
She's undead.
what if they reverse the 5th season being the final series and decided that strange new worlds just kept going but would be the final season of the pike era and then season 6 would start the kirk era
Going forward with Year One would make more sense, as they'd be more likely to draw new viewers in with Season 1 of a new series than with Season 6 of SNW. Just like why comic books are always getting reboots, Issue 1 sells more copies than Issue 45.
year one then would be a sequel reboot of star trek the original series
Sure.
I sort of like the idea of her getting her own ship but at the same time it does seem to be the most expected option. I kind of also like the idea that she goes back to Starfleet Academy to teach or she gets into politics.
Her ship is an Academy vessel (NO NOT THAT ONE!!!!!!)
Kind of like Spock I think in Wrath of Khan. At least I think that was why they had cadets going on the ship at that time.
I would love to see Una get her own starship command. She'd be awesome!
However, given Commander Ransom's line of her in LOWER DECKS saying she was 'the hottest first officer', it lends to the idea that she dies before getting her own command. (I kniw the line was an in-joke about how they are married in real life, but it is canon.)
As an alternative, because I don't want to see her killed off, I can see her taking command of a starbase. It worked for one excellent leader... can work for her, too.
