Let's speculate on the deep, dark secret

I got it.

The ancient Vulcans created AI beings that became hostile. They stopped them by sending it back in time, and deliberately destroyed their own knowledge of time travel so none could bring them back.

These AI beings, trapped millions of years in the past, evolved themselves into anaphasic lifeforms, needing a corporeal being to maintain a physical form.

One being would find themselves in Earth and bond with the women of the Howard family, leading to the events of TNG's Sub Rosa.
 
One issue with the "Vulcans are the robots" theory: Why would the Zhat Vash be working with Commodore Oh, who presumably would then be a robot?

I'm leaning heavily toward Oh being a real Vulcan, not a Romulan, because I don't think Romulans can do mind melds.
 
I hope this "deep, dark secret" doesn't involve a major upending of important aspects of Star Trek lore that turns Romulans or Vulcans into artificial lifeforms or anything like that as some of the theories here suggest.

I agree. I hope my speculations and nearly all the others here are dead wrong, but unfortunately I dont think they are.
 
Perhaps this will be explained, but as it stands now Jurrati killing Maddox doesnt make sense to me. If she was compelled to kill based on what Oh "showed" her why did she necessarily believe her? I find it odd she wouldn't first try to independently confirm what she was told in a mind meld or whatever was true . It would make much more sense if she was not in control, but if that was the case I don,t think she would react with so much regret.
 
Well i would want something that fundamentally dealt with why the Romulan sun went supernova plus making sure the evacuation is hindered by attacking Mars. I believe the supernova was planned not natural and someone really wants the Roms to be extinct or near enough.

I believe the Federation stopped assisting the evacuation post Mars because while it of course was hard, the same force that causes the Romulan sun to blow made it clear they would blow Federation sun(s).
Mars was a good excuse.

So who really has it in for Romulans? Who benefits if they go? Is the “secret” that their is someone out there who can cause a sun to supernova and is pushing the Galaxy to their view?
I had hoped since 2009 that if they ever got around to what caused this supernova that it would be a deliberate act and that this would be a way of introducing a new threat to the Federation and the Galaxy. Now I think they will say that the Zhat Vash (Vulcans I believe) did it to destroy the Romulan synths. Possibly with the assistance of Borg tech, which unlike a trilithium warhead, makes it seem sufficiently natural to minimize suspicion. That would be a disappointing story decision, but I also think that is what will happen.

I think we're all being a little cheeky here.

I wouldn't want to overestimate my own prescience.

I expect there might be a couple more surprises to come.

Well, she seems like Lenore Karidian to me. Underneath a layer of harmless oddness is a psychopathic homicidal cuckoo bird.

 
That's not really a spoiler, since it's your personal theory and has little to do with events in the show. I very much doubt they're going to upend the most iconic race (and hence characters) of all Star Trek and backstory them as androids for shock value.

Maybe not. But Romulans being synths seems to be a rather popular theory. I went in a different direction with a rather in-depth reasoning. I just placed my theory in spoilers just in case some one reads it and they wish they didn’t and want to be surprised while watching the show. I tend to be cautious like that sometimes, even when spoilers are listed in the title.

Maybe Commodore Oh secretly agrees with Zhat Vash and is their person on the inside. Maybe Oh is secretly part Romulan, like Simon Tarsus was.
