Plots for season 4 (satire, indirect spoilers)

[The Wormhole]

Was the monument to Wolf 359 salvaged after the Burn for much needed parts or does it still exist waiting to be the rebirth of Starfleet?

What monument to Wolf 359?

What monument to Wolf 359?

My reaction, exactly.

The gas in the"densest" parts of these nebulae is less than one billionth of the density inside the aforementioned vacuum tubes. In fact, we can't with our modern technology produce vacuums as empty as the inside of these "dense" nebulae.

Yes. All I'm saying is if there's space weather between the Sun and Earth, then I can accept even the dramatic "weather" of the nebula. I want thunderstorms inside nebulae and severed hands floating in space in my Star Trek, dammit

People watch "The Lord Of The Rings" and yet I don't think any of them believes that something like that could happen (not unless they're completely stupid).

Just think of Star Trek as "Lord Of The Rings" with starships... and you won't be very far from the truth.

-Tilly, still settling into the position of first officer suddenly realizes the ship has no chief medical officer, chief of security or chief engineer

They do have a CMO, and I assumed Stammets was the chief engineer, but we never did see them replace the security chief....

Stamets, despite some early okudagrams to the contrary, was never the Chief Engineer. He is a sciences officer and astromycologist with his own engineering lab. He deals almost exclusively with spore matters, and issues with dilithium and the warp core are dealt from a yet-to-be-seen main engineering.

Reno has been our representative to main engineering in the past. It's possible she is now the Chief Engineer (although she wouldn't have been in Season 2), if we assume the original CE (and perhaps CMO) left the ship before it traveled into the future. Only half the crew did so.

"Astromycologist"... Sounds funny when you say it this way, like a fortune-teller who specializes in stars and... fungus. An odd combination.

 

[The Wormhole]

They do have a CMO,

Sure, but since whoever it is is still doing an Andorian tonsillectomy, the position might as well be considered vacant.

I assumed Stammets was the chief engineer,

Nope.
