Spoilers Could there be a reveal in the next episode...

It would be unbelievably daft if he is a Q
Why would there be a special Q summoning planet and why would a Q help just cause you go there

 

Y’all go check out trekcore.

Spoiler

he’s the guardian

 

Maybe he is one of the benevolent ones and/or or it's just his way to have fun

 

Rome has power in a Papal sense but the roman empire is long gone.

The Norman's invade England in 1066 and Ireland is a mix of Celtic kingdoms in the countryside and Viking settlements in the now cities. That's all I can say for definite without Google

 

Weird though that he sits around that planet waiting for people

 

TrekCore managed to decipher the other headlines in Carl's newspaper. Seems to be packed with old news. Talk about tomorrow's news today.

 

Not so different to being the Scarecrow

Wait, maybe that's actually the meaning of it

 

What if he doesn’t just sit on the planet? We don’t have enough canon info on them to know if they are corporeal, omnipresent, etc.

 

Ha! I love that the paper costs 15 quatloos!

 

Love the little references here, newspapers are always goldmine for this stuff

 

It's definitely a nod to the viewers with knowledge of the franchise. That it means more than that will have to wait until next week.

 

It still means the Q has a special planet that you go to to summon him.

DIS has f****d with enough stupid old Trek plots without dragging Q into things again. Was making them stupid in Voyager not enough

 

Discovery could only improve the Q after what happened in DS9 and Voyager.

 

As bad as it is DIS MU is better than every DS9 MU episode after the first one.

My first choice would be for Carl to be something new

 

Carl is not a Q. He's an R.

 

Would've been interesting to see a MU Voyager.

A starship built by the Terran Resistance. On the run from the Alliance, gets lost in the Badlands, sent to the Delta Quadrant, meets a benevolent cybernetic species called the Borg who modify the ship with transwarp capability and send it along with a few Borg Cubes back to the Alpha Quadrant to help with the fight against the Alliance. The Borg Queen becomes the first president of the Resistance/Dominion/Borg Collective federation.

 

Instead of rehashing that tired plot Voyager gave us its evil side through the incorrect historical records in "living witness"
What we got was much better than the MU

 

The reveal was hinted at in part 1, but it was still cool.

That was nice, please explain how this could reasonably upset anyone.
