Or Lazarus played by Brian Brophy.
Spoilers My main suspects for the anomaly.
- Thread starter Unimatrix Q
- Start date
That means antimatter universe Lazarus is played by John Ales.
This is kind of a stretch but I wonder if Discovery using their spore drive in the 32nd century during S3 somehow caused damage to another galaxy where the creators of the DMA live. That species then created the DMA to try and eliminate Discovery, but the DMA can't lock on to Discovery's position because Discovery keeps jumping around, so the DMA is also jumping around trying to get a fix on Discovery.
Then when it's all sorted out, the creators of DMA will only stop if Discovery is destroyed and the spore drive is no longer a threat to them. They can't destroy Discovery without hurting Zora's feelings so the crew needs to jump to another time or parallel universe at the end of the season to take Discovery out of the picture.

Dunno, maybe something about the position of the galaxies? They established that the mirror universe drifted away in the past 900 years making travel between them no longer possible, so some explanation along those lines. Maybe back then the galaxies weren't aligned in a way where using the spore drive caused damage, but now they are.
You could also say that using the spore drive back in the 23rd century did cause damage and it took the creators of the DMA 900 years to develop the technology to defend themselves. Then they deployed it when it happened again in the 32rd century.
But didn't they already do a whole storyline about their spore drive use hurting someone? I don't see them going down that road again.
The fact that they were name-dropped already almost certainly puts them out of the running. As if they were ever seriously considered in the first place.
Hmm, yes that's a fair point, it would seem a bit lazy / recycled.
Good point, I must have missed that.
Looks like my hopes for something completely unexpected out of left field haven't been completely dashed.
Tarka is suss as hell. I think his partner left the galaxy using the new enhanced spore drive and found a way to develop the DMA to go to their alternate universe home with the help of an energy source from some powerful extragalactic aliens, and either things got out of his hands and the aliens started attacking our galaxy or there's some larger purpose to his attacks. I think an extragalactic species still has to be involved though because it's someone Zora recognizes and fears, and I don't think a lone scientist would qualify.
I was under the impression that Zora was fearful that the crew would venture to the coordinates and put themselves in danger, and not so much fearful about a specific species or civilization.
Seems like there's no need to revisit the Klingons as enemies again.
Even if the Enterprise-J future timeline from ENT no longer exists as shown it's reasonable to assume that the Klingons and Federation have been friends and allies for centuries at this point and the Empire may well have joined the Federation as Daniels said.
What a wild time where the Klingons and Romulans are in the Federation but Earth isn't.
There's no need to revisit them period. Michael resolved her grief with them and the story moved on. For all we know they are a self-dependent power who prefer to keep themselves out of interstellar politics after the devastation of the Temporal Wars.
