Theory on Discovery and its crew [no spoilers -- just speculation]

[WarpFactorZ]

OK, maybe it's the wine talking, but I've been thinking about Discovery and its place in canon history. It's a ship that travels on "life force" across the galaxy in the wink of an eye. We have black alerts, black fleets, black Starfleet shields, and a war that killed 8000 in the first week.

My theory: Discovery is a ship of the "living dead" stuck in Pergatory: those phasing between life and death -- biology and physics, the same at the quantum level -- Schrodinger's cat, so to speak. Lorca is the one who judges who goes back, and who goes "south". Burnham and the crew of the Shenzhou perished in the initial battle. Her mutiny is not on record because all hands went down right afterward in the ensuing Klingon attack. Those prisoners on the shuttle were on their way to the bottom floor when the Discovery intervened. The Glenn and her crew passed through the gates of Hell.

Trying to find a way to win a war between those living and those dead (cue the themes to the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, etc...). Coincidental casting of Sonequa Martin-Green and Jason Isaacs!

This also explains why Lorca has a room filled with skeletons and dead tribbles....

Well? At least it gets around these damn canon arguments! Discuss!

It's the wine.

Not sure I trust wine made by amphibians.

I like a nice merlot.

I think that they will not create this kind of propulsion, because it is not seen in the future series as the ST Classic and ST Next Generation.
By the way , what was the WARP of Discovery, it was about 4.5 in ST Enterprise.
I told in other post that new characters will appear and they are already there.
Miss Landry and cap Lorca, for example

I just want to know now, what is that creature, looking a "Brain" from Starfleet Troopers or some kind of mad dog klingon creature...

And how tall is Saru, about 2,50 meters (100 inches)?

Its place in cannon history is the war with The Klingon Empire and all episodes will have something related with it. However they seems to have a focus on Michael, and there they can create a lot of things without run off the cannon.

In the episode 3rd I didnt like the way it was the vessel to where they gone. It remembers Destiny, of Stargate, a low light spaceship. And I think also that that series went down because it was a low light spaceship and that that nobody like to see episodes full of shadows.

Please dont do it in STD!
Keep lights on, as in ST Next Generation.
