S3 theories/wishlist

[Krog]

They won’t be coming back - except perhaps Yeoh. That seems pretty logic given S2 conclusion.
Seen a different galaxy with shifted alliances would be neat. But a lot of things can go wrong. Also, let’s not forget the Federation was still alive in the XXXII century as they were a major player in the Temporal Cold War. Which makes me think that time travel is much more common 1 millennium in the future.

Also, warp technology will be much more advanced, allowing for the exploration of so much more than just a quadrant! Will the Borg still be there? And the Dominion? Great questions!!

 

[Haggis and tatties]

its going to be like quantum leap jumping thru time fixing problems, if they are stuck in the future would the ship not be outdated to any fuutre ships, like taking old wooden sailing ship and using it in battle today would not hold up

Well seeing as they basically fixed canon in the last few moments of the last episode and everyone is ordered never to talk about two seasons of Discovery, i can only assume in S3 we will will be following Burnham and the Discovery crew, who theorising that one could time travel into the future, allowed starfleet officer Micheal Burnham to step into a temporal time travel suit and vanish, with the Discovery in tow........and when they awoke, they found themselves trapped in the future, facing mirror universes that were not their own, and driven by an unknown force to change starfleet for the better. Their only guide on this journey is Picard, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Burnham can see and hear. And so Burnham and the Discovey find themselves spore jumping from from sector to sector, striving to put right what section 31 put wrong, and hoping each time that their next jump, will be the spore jump home…”

"oh boy"

Now with Discovery being in the 33rd century, i'd love to John de Lancie returning as Q and messing with Burnham and the Disco crew too

Not picard but archer oh boy

 

[Kemaiku]

Seriously though, I'm starting to think the gap of 4 months isn't a "relative time" issue but literally something prevents Burnham from sending it for that time.

Season 3 taking place over 4 months from their arrival to the suit being fixed and sending the OK signal in the finale could be feasible. That would make getting home a season 4 plotline, or if they get cancelled they have to reference them getting him in the Picard series.

 

[Nerys Myk]

If I was in charge, I'd spend season three in the future, but by season's end return the crew to the 23rd Century. While in the future they can set up "Star Trek: 3000" and perhaps leave the DISCO in the hands of new characters. (Maybe they need the spore drive to fight the big bad of that era) One character can be the O'Brien and stay in the future. In the 23rd, the DISCO crew receives a hero's welcome, and this being Star Trek, are given a new ship, Discovery, the NCC 1031-A, a newly commissioned Constitution class vessel (Gotta use those Enterprise sets ).
A fan can dream.

Or Q returning to fix the timeline...

Riker's World. I want him to have a whole planet named for him. Where everyone has The Beard™ and sits on chairs backwards. Riker statues, with their legs up on consoles, are everywhere. And made of gold.

Barring something like the Temporal Cold War that alters all of time a thousand years in the past in a way that bypasses their temporal defenses the 31st century Federation is technologically beyond the point where any sort of collapse would be possible.

Yet we've seen the remnants of several super-civilizations that have fallen in Trek. The Iconian and T'Kon Empires being two.

 

[SJGardner]

I've said it somewhere in an earlier thread, but I'd love a revisit of Kaminar 1000 years after The Sound of Thunder. Having Saru see the consequences of his actions on an historical scale would be a really interesting thing to explore. It just seems to be the perfect setting to look at how something we saw happen could transcend into myth through the ages. Future Kelpiens, if they're around, might even worship Saru as their savior.

If enemies turn into amigos, there might be some Kelpien-Ba'ul babies in the future. They'd probably look pretty interesting.

Maybe the Kelpians have overrun the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. And are now despots that rule with an iron first.

I wouldn't really call them super-civilzations so much as very tiny empires with a gimmick.

I mean for crying out loud, the T'Kon only had 23 planets in a very tiny area of space.

Compare that to the 31st century federation, who has to have tens of thousands of planets scattered across multiple galaxies.

Well, they already had to have genocided the Ba'ul given they showed up in Ba'ul vessels.

And you get this from where exactly? Civilizations rise. Civilizations fall.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Nothing lasts forever. And every Star Trek ever has painted a picture of a Federation that cannot survive without Earth.

ENT depicted a 30th century of insane TARDIS technology, where every schoolchild learned to send messages though time, but that was before the alien Nazis in the White House, and subsequent reset. The future could be anything.

 

[Cyrus]

Kelpians being one the bad guys in the 33rd century would be interesting, especially if Saru is the Captain.

And Human is a delicacy. Sucks to be you Georgiou.

 

[Fateor]

And you get this from where exactly?

You realize that the Federation had over a thousand member worlds and uncountable colonies in the 24th century alone?

Civilizations rise. Civilizations fall.

Primitive and or Small civilizations fall.

Large advanced one's with replicator and time travel technology just have too much redundancy for the same to occur.

 

[BillJ]

They had 150 members according to Picard in Star Trek: First Contact.

Large advanced one's with replicator and time travel technology just have too much redundancy for the same to occur.

I don't think it works that way. Civilizations fall, we're told about it often in Star Trek. You don't think other civilizations came up with replicators and time travel? Hell, I can easily see time travel unraveling a civilization as opposed to propping it up. Whether from within or an enemy using it.

 

[Alan Roi]

That shouldn't be possible.

Barring something like the Temporal Cold War that alters all of time a thousand years in the past in a way that bypasses their temporal defenses the 31st century Federation is technologically beyond the point where any sort of collapse would be possible.

Unless some force with power at the disposal like the Q steps in to kick the feds down a peg or two.
