Poll Is this 32nd century a keeper?

They go back to 2200 where their uniforms and ships actually make sense and stop Control and Section 31 from budding and thus mend the timeline like spliced fruit trees!

I've said this before, but I feel very confident that Such Sweet Sorrow Parts 1 and 2 were written before Calypso.

I also feel very confident in saying that the show is not ever leaving the 32nd Century.

Would you believe it was autocorrect?

That defeats the whole purpose of the story they’re trying to tell. They’re not trying to find a way to reset everything. They’re trying to find a way to rebuild the Federation.

If you want a nice and fuzzy future, watch Lower Decks.

"Nice and fuzzy" Have you meet the dreaded Packleds ?

Resetting and undoing The Burn would be a cheap out. There are far more interesting opportunities to learn what happened, ensure it can't happen in the future, and start to rebuild, reform, and reunite those planets which still believe in The Federation.

I agree finding a way of successfully restarting mass intergalactic travel will be the goal not resetting the burn

Intergalactic?
That’s ambitious.
Interstellar or intragalactic is what you mean, I think.
Intergalactic would be travel to other galaxies.

Ya back to whatever it was they were doing in the 24th century

Intergalactic would be travel to other galaxies.

And you'd think they would've cracked that by the 32nd century. Where are all the transwarp drives? (The conduit kind the Borg used, not the salamander kind.)

Who knows, maybe the conduits require proximity to a galaxie's gracity well and are not viable in the void. Maybe stars and dense matter anchors them somehow.

Wondering that myself. Easiest explanation is that they were affected by the Burn as well.
In the non-canon, the Federation opened a transwarp network across its space, enabling Starfleet ships to jump instantaneously to key locations. There's also the reactivated Iconian gateway network across the Milky Way, which also includes still-dormant links to Andromeda. If the Burn occurred across the galaxy, then any Federation asset outside the Milky Way should have remained unaffected?

I had a thought that it might be cool if, having spent the first two seasons in the ‘past’, Discovery spends two seasons in the future (32nd century) before spending perhaps it’s final two seasons in what we came to know as Trek’s ‘present’, ie the 24th century. It probably/definitely won’t happen, but it would please the OCD part of me that craves symmetry.

It's worth recalling that Bryan Fuller's original concept for the show would be a seasonal anthology that started pre-TOS and jumped decades forward in the timeline every season until it moved past the TNG era into uncharted territory. In a way, the show has finally fulfilled that original intention, although in a single, much larger step than Fuller probably envisioned.

Of course, I think what really inspired this jump was how well "Calypso" was received. They're certainly working in clear references from that short -- V'draysh, Zora -- even though it's not exactly the same time frame and the way Discovery got to the future doesn't track with what the short portrayed (just sitting abandoned for a thousand years). Still, it was probably "Calypso"'s popularity, the way it captured people's imaginations, that prompted the decision to jump to this era and fulfill the potential of its concepts, albeit with some tweaks to the details. Maybe it showed them how much interest there was in moving the Trek timeline forward again instead of backward.

Not really as the other portion of Bryan Fuller's pitch was that it would be a completely different crew in each era.

That's not a small change.

I said "in a way." I was not claiming it was exactly the same thing.

Why does Hawaii have Interstate highways?

Restart Intragalaxy travel, with possible Intergalactic travel, at the very least to the circling dwarf galaxy's.
Have a few stories going through my head, and one is around 2410 or so, and it has a fleet going to one of the dwarf galaxy's with Quantum Slipstream. It would take them 6 months at QS Speed to get there, but it is possible.
Andromeda is still to far away at the "slow" slipstream. (I usually disreguard "Timeless" 1 hour in slipstream to get home speed, especially when a species that has perfected it takes 3 months for the same journey)

So, with the Burn, is there colony's in other galaxy's that are cut off??

Ya but they are all salamanders now so they could give a f***

I hope the show stays in the 32nd century. The one thing that concerns me is that they're signaling Calypso will happen, which implies that Discovery will need to be left for 1,000 years per Calypso. I hope they don't zip forward another 1,000 years, but it does suggest time travel will be involved somehow. I'd rather it be a matter of, for example, sending the ship back so that it can be properly evolved when they need it in the present or something.

There's a fair few fan theories as to how it could be done but definitely I think it should stay in 32nd and all indications are it will.

Each era of Trek should have its own time otherwise things get a bit silly like having Ferengi and Borg in ENT or the million Soongs we have now had. Nothing wrong with a new crew in a new place but everything seems to have to be a call back or Easter egg now and it's not just a Trek thing

Not necessarily. Borrowing concepts from a story does not require accepting the entire story, since it's all just made up anyway. I think they're treating "Calypso" as a first draft and adapting what they can from it to fit their current plans. Sort of like how Marvel's Agent Carter TV series used the earlier Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter short as an inspiration and template but contradicted the specifics of its story, replacing it in the canon.
