Red Angel Theories- Post Here

[Pauln6]

I find it odd that the crew are so linear in their understanding of time travel. There is no reason why the Red Angel visitations or any other time travel has to take place in the same order they occur in our time stream.

Their pattern indicates...two-dimensional thinking.

Wouldn't sending the ship into the past be more effective against Control getting hold of it? Control could just go hide somewhere (other than the Delta quadrant ) and wait around for 500 or 1000 years. It's a lot less likely Control ever gets time travel tech to go back in time without the Sphere Data™.

They talk of an "anchor point" in the future that neither suit seems able to avoid. I don't claim to fully understand temporal mechanics, though, particularly Trek temporal mechanics. And in the past, they would face the awkward possibility of a run-in with the Sphere itself. But if there's a return policy like Costco's, maybe the Sphere would take it off Discovery's hands. In any case, the anchor point seems to be at the root of it.

Ash brought up the possibility of Michael missing that anchor point and ending up anywhere/anytime. Obviously the plan is to go where Mama went.

She did say she hoped that she'd end up on Terralysia with her mother.

And if Control tracked Discovery's whereabouts back to Boreth, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Makes me think of this:

What do you mean removal from the current timeline? Because I was against a complete reset or erasure of events we've already experienced over the past two seasons. I was against any kind of removal of Burnham from the prime universe because that would be, in my opinion, hugely disrespectful to the character and her journey.

But this looks like a fairly straightforward jump to the distant future. In other words Discovery will be removed from the present, so that it and the sphere data merged with it can no longer be around for CONTROL to acquire. That does not equal a removal from the timeline. Everything Discovery did in the past still will exist as having happened.

So, your wordage is confusing to me.
