Poll Is reset coming?

[Longinus]

Wait, didn't the Discovery destroy the Charon to save all life in the multiverse? If Lorca hadn't brought them to the MU, all life would have been extinguished. So if they reset everything, won't that destroy all life?

All life will be destroyed regardless. We know that there are countless parallel universes (TNG:Parallels). If Charon in one universe can destroy life in the entire multiverse, then there are also some universes in which Discovery did not destroy Charon, and Charons in those universes will proceed to destroy all life in the multiverse. Game over, man!

It'll turn out that this is all yet another front in the Temporal Cold War and Daniels will show up to reset the original TOS timeline at the end.

ST Discovery launched strong,then burnt out and fell back to the lazy writing which sunk Voyager and Enterprise.

So yeah ,im waiting with a full bowl of popcorn for the Big Reset. Get ready for a “temporal anomaly” with the spores that erases the whole season. Phillipa Georgiou will be alive,the Binary Stars battle won’t happen, Michael Burnham will command Discovery, Voq meets his dad.....

 

[Mr Awe]

What do they have invested in what they built up?

They've clearly built up the entire crew. They've gelled as a team.

I bet they won't throw that out, but we'll see. The proof is in the pudding.

As for the spore drive, they've already set up how they'll get rid of it and never use it again. It's too dangerous. Using the mycelial network threatened life in not just the PU and MU, but all universes. It won't be long before they realize they need to leave it alone altogether.

This show is now so bad that all I want to see is a reset that wipes all that happened from Federation history.

Not if they seal off the spore network totally and utterly as part of the reset. Which is likely.

Which of course raises the question of why no one did that billions of years ago in any one of the infinite other universes connected to the mycelial network. But this is what happens when you have a writing team that doesn't have a single person who understands science even as much as an educated layman.

So.. Star Trek after TNG?

 

[Grendelsbayne]

Also before TNG. And during.

 

[Tuskin38]

They had a science advisor on TNG.

Good point. Although I didn't generally see as many eye-rolling science errors on DS9 as I did on VOY or ENT.

TNG's problem was Naren Shankar had a background in physics/engineering, which he did a good job with. He seemingly didn't understand much about biology however. Trek biology was pretty much doomed either way because the alien-human hybrid thing was ridiculous, but it could have been so much better if anyone on the show actually understood how DNA worked.

So..shall we go with Q did it? XD

You can use that same excuse for anything possibly multi-verse ending.

If the multi-verse consists of every possible event, then it should have been destroyed eons ago.

Yes, which is why they never should have said that the mycelial network links the entire multiverse and can be destroyed.

 

[Tomalak]

I feel like they've written themselves into a corner because they've said "everything will make sense and not contradict canon", which means either there is a massive reset, or else they have a huge shopping list for the finale:

• End the Klingon war
• Get rid of the spore drive
• Settle Tyler's future
• Settle Burnham's future
• Get rid of Captain Emperor Adolf Georgiou

That said, it would be fairly easy to do all of that - they need to stop using the spore drive because it's too easy to travel to (classified) parallel universes and it requires a genetically modified humanoid navigator.

They can end the war with the dramatic raid on Qo'nos and some dialogue about Sarek negotiating a cease fire. Georgiou can die in the battle. Burnham can heroically redeem herself, as can Tyler.

Job done. No reset needed.

It could happen with the network ever existing. It's a fallacy.

 

[Longinus]

The mushroom network is the thing that facilitates the destruction spreading from one universe to the entire multiverse.

 

[eschaton]

Please elaborate.

 

[picardjean-luc]

So, next year, the excelsior class USS Discovery NCC 1031-A takes flight eh.

Yup. But instead of a spore drive, it will run on a quantum drive

 

[Tuskin38]

The mushroom network is the thing that facilitates the destruction spreading from one universe to the entire multiverse.

Yes but I'm sure in some reality someone could create a doomsday device that could destroy the multiverse without it.
