A nice little VFX reel of scenes from 'That hope is you pt 2'. Anyone else love the shot of Discovery and the Viridian being chased by the Federation fleet?
 
So it's assumed that Tilly will be Michael's Number One?

Or will they bring in someone new? Maybe someone from the 32nd century who would have more insight on things?

EDIT:
Actually, I guess Saru is in the background in uniform in the season 4 teaser, so most likely it will be him.

Yeah, the spore drive was inspired by his theory that all mushrooms are connected underground by mycelial roots or something like that.

The writers just sci-fied it up. The roots became subspace strings connecting space mushrooms that the ship could travel through.

Both of which, IMO, are COOL.
 
Turns out that Stamets is real and is already working on mushrooms for space travel.

Mycologist Paul Stamets discusses the potential extraterrestrial uses of fungi, including terraforming planets, building human habitats—and providing psilocybin therapy to astronauts

That was Bryan Fuller's original concept.

In the original concept by Bryan Fuller, Discovery had no magic spore drive.
The mycelium fungus was about terraforming, not space travel.

(The Tardigrade was supposed to be an intelligent alien crew member. "Stamets' Chewbacca")

Here is Paul Stamets on The Joe Rogan Experience in 2017:

I hope Saru is Michael's Number One. To my mind he's more deserving than any other character.

^congrats!

He deserves to be captain!

Doug Jones states in this interview that Saru will still be holding the rank of Captain in season 4. My guess is that he will be getting his own ship.

Also, looks like everyone who picked up on romantic chemistry between Saru and President T'Rina may have been on the money.
