Spoilers I think I cracked "Calypso"
- Thread starter Lord Garth
- Start date
You don't usually get that from pointless retcons.
Maybe? I dont know. The point might be there is no point.
I don't know but I rarely find retcons uninteresting or lacking entertainment.
I'm not going to hate it either. At least not on the surface. I'm just wondering how they will address Calypso without it being just a rushed, hastily tacked-on disappointment. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I'm sticking with my suspicion that "Calypso" was all Zora's dream.
Well, they
Addressed it. Sort of. "Calypso" is a Red Directive mission and it takes place 1,000 years after DSC Season 5. No other details given.
I saw that and I was like huh interesting little tidbit.
The events of Calypso happen ~ Late 42nd Century
I wonder if they had this ending in mind when they did the episode. It's still oddly enigmatic and feels like it shouldn't be interrogated because it may fall apart if you nitpick it though.
I was 100% opposed to tying Calypso in to the end of the series, but this, unfortunately, was the worst possible way to do it.
It's basically the Trek equivalent of "a wizard did it." Kovich says it has to happen, and so it does. Didn't need to be said, IMHO. And Kovich knowing Craft by name just makes it worse, as it implies their fleeting encounter has to happen because...I dunno. Certainly the two of them together don't amount to much.

Well, that was stupid. So instead of Zora and Craft accidentally finding each other as what was presented in Calypso, she now knows about him 1,000 years beforehand because…timey wimey reasons? And she doesn't tell him she knows him, which changes the entire context of their meeting. I knew these idiot writers were going to make some kind of unnecessary retcon to that great Short Trek instead of just leaving it be, but this was just dumb.
Perhaps Craft is a distant descendant of Book & Michael? There were a number of comparisons being made between Book & Craft. I'm sure we'll never find out, unless they make some canon novels or comics.

Yeah, it's nonsense because that story doesn't have an actual ending and I imagine they don't actually have anything fleshed out to explain why it had to be Discovery, why it had to be 1000 years in advance, and why Craft was important.
I'm sure someone already has the novelization or comic book ready to go to sell to people though. I'm also sure it probably won't make much sense.
It will connect to the Travelers and Gary7, just you watch.
I doubt it as well, since it was just hastily tacked-on nonsense that they came up with at the last minute when they found out their show was being cancelled.
