I've heard rumors we may find out more about Yor in season 5!
Has the Temporal age become Trek's best mystery time period?

- Start date
If they ever did the temporal war, this is how I would want it to be done. The nature of the Temporal War would make it difficult to follow on a macro level, but by focusing for a time (heh) on the different powers in their native time periods, we can establish what their reason for contributing is, and slowly build up a sense of the conflict that way.
I still think it's a shame they scrapped the idea for a Star Trek anthology series...
We got a lot of variety and different eras in Discovery in 4 seasons so I don't feel gipped.
Exhibit A: Wolverine Origins.
My serious side: I never need to see time travel in Trek ever again.
My mischievous side: Trek's temporal wars reimagined as the old 80's TV show Voyagers.

For what it's worth, Star Trek Online answered that question.
The timepod is Daniels'. He gave it to Kal Dano, inventor of the Tox Uthat, when the Vorgons attacked the Daystrom Annex on Lirss Prime in the 27th century. Dano travelled to Risa in the 22nd century to hide the Tox Uthat (where it would later be found by Picard). Sadly, Dano dies during his mission. He and his pod are then found by NX-01 in 2152.
Very self-referential
That's one of my favorite stories from STO. The stories tend to be reference heavy and linked to something from the shows... which I prefer honestly... and tend to do so in a way that ties two seemingly unrelated things together, usually combining elements from different shows. For example, there is a big story about the Vaadwuar from Voyager mixed with the TNG "Conspiracy" parasites, and a story (kind of moved to the back burner but available if you look for it) story that combines the TNG Precursor race and TOS Preservers. There's even a quick story combining the Sphere Builders and the Kelvin Timeline.
Lost Era would be fairly limited, but there are still quite a few stories you could tell there. Focusing on the Cardassian War could be interesting, although that's like extreme end of Lost Era essentially into TNG.
To me personally, the biggest "mystery time period" is early Federation. That's what I really want to see. I want to see what's going on in like, 2180. The Federation is still trying to find its footing, it's not necessarily one big happy family yet, mixed crews are still somewhat rare and can something of an awkward experience.
Definitely agree.
Kind of. It was the concept that was bad, they just made some really weird decisions.
The first like, half of the movie was awesome.
Season 5 continues to use Trek history including the Temporal war.
Krenim Cronophage! Literally time-eater. Adding another piece to the puzzle, the Krenim are revealed to still be interested in time-changing technology. Time bugs are a thing.
L'ak and Moll break time travel laws. They're really racking up the charges...If they survive.

No. Canon doesn't really limit anything.
The lost eras I'm most interested in are:
Post-TUC/Pre-TNG
Post-Burn before Discovery arrives
Post-TUC/Pre-TNG
Post-Burn before Discovery arrives
The only era I'm interested is TOS era.
In fact, it's pretty easy to argue there's really no excuse to not build the entre brand around it, at this point.
