So question... How are there endangered species when Cloning has been a thing since the 22nd century?
you cant clone infinitly often, every time a tiny bit of the genome gets lost.
Its like taking a picture of a picture of apicture [....], at a certain point you wont be able to recognize it anymore

And also, it doenst really look to me like somebody is around who cares about it, given what we have seen in the first episode
 
How would Spock see it if she was still in the future?

I guess she can still be in the future if she sends the Red Angel Suit back through the wormhole and it re-emerges in 2258 at Terralysium. Did the Red Angel Suit survive the return to the wormhole or did it explode? I saw at least one person say it was destroyed.

Incorrect, the only cloning technology that suffered that type of degradation was the one from that very early breakaway colony in TNG.

And you can't use the argument that "nobody cares about it" when you have dedicated groups both smuggling them and protecting them.


Has it been established that the Fed goes around cloning every creature it meets?
It's the easiest solution for solving the endangered species problem.
 
Cloning animals? Guess I missed that episode.
It's the episode he made up in his mind.

They only get radishes ;)
Exactly. I think space whales with brain functions are a little bit more complex than radishes.

And anyway. Who knows if what's left of the Federation would still be doing species preservation in either case? With the way things are now, it's a whole new ball game. Whatever the Federation did before, we can't take for granted they'd do it now. Especially 100-120 years after The Burn.

I ment government agencies or something like that.
The people like booker that smuggle them would still need to smuggle them if they wanted to clone them
 
No, she not just the lead, she is the only character that matters. She IS the show.
I do not remember such lead character treatment in any other ST Series. That is why I compared her with Picard.
Picard has earned his own series after decades of playing the role in a show
On Ent, Captain Archer, who was new to deep space travel, started saving the galaxy in his first year leading the Ent crew. Just like TOS, Ent used a “ big 3” concept, with Kirk, Spock, and Bones, being the 3, which meant Archer and Kirk were at the heart of just about every A story.

Picard started saving the galaxy n his first year on the 1701D. Yes, he was an experienced starship captain, but Burnham is an experienced Starfleet officer.

I get it if you don’t like Burnham or the actor playing her, or women, or Black women, but complaining that Burnham is too big a part of each story, or she gets too much screen time is just plain silly and a bit disingenuous.
