Probably had one a few days after he was killed, just didn't show it.
Which Discovery loose ends bother you the most?
- Thread starter Tuvix5675
- Start date
Then either he's wrong or you're misremembering. The Menagerie takes place in 2267, and in that episode it is stated in dialogue that The Cage was thirteen years prior, which would make it 2254. Disco is stated in dialogue to be in 2256 when it started. 2256 is two years after 2254. This is both canonically and mathematically legitimate.
Actually they closed this loose end,but only by making another one.
The human interface only works because of a DNA modification drug - recall that Stamets injected himself with the experimental substance . Due to the Federations ban on genetic modification, this is technically illegal. So the science problem is figuring out how to navigate the network without using this approach.
Of course ,the loose end then is why Stamets isn’t in court for illegal genetic experimentation. While I doubt he’d be jailed, the Federations always looked unkindly at genetic experimentation and would insist on a hearing to justify Stamets actions.
Like they wouldn't simply change the date of "The Cage" if it suited them.
I'm starting to wonder if the above is true, come season two, those rumours that Michael Burnham was the Number One might come true.
Wouldn't this mean that Discovery gets destroyed, because Burnham would have to become the first office under Pike?
Also, they'd probably have to figure out how to explain Number One and Spock having nothing to do with one another in The Cage. And why Spock was acting emotional (just a phase?)
Unfortunately all of that is only head-canon.
I really feel like DSC would have been a lot better as Trek literature. Presenting DSC over what felt like a rushed 15 episodes really did a disservice to the franchise.
It never was established just what the Black Badges were guarding. It clearly wasn't anything related to the Spore Drive, yet there also wasn't anything else important on the ship.
No idea if it was in the original plans but I feel like the black badges/floating water/hundreds of science labs in the third episode implied a much more fun, vaguely X-Files like show that sadly wasn't to be. I was expecting future episodes to focus on a weird science project of the week, with Burnam playing the role of Mulder and Scully trying to figure out just what the heck was happening on board this ship. Alas.
He may well have been experiencing emotional instability resulting from pre-pon-farr. 13 years before The Menagerie would be 14 years before Amok Time, after all...His leg hurt like a bitch.
There is clearly an interesting story to be told about how Discovery morphed during its creation. I think we will eventually hear the story, but not for years, not until it is safely in the rearview mirror. God would I love to write that book.
I think the ultimate explanation for the spore tech disappearing has to be something shutting off access to the network. Maybe Starfleet intentionally does that in the future to keep Mirror terrors from coming through or to stop another disaster. It will be something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if the series ends with Discovery sacrificing itself to do that thereby explaining why nobody has heard of them.
If a spore drive were even an insanely dangerous option that wouldn't have stopped the Romulans or the Dominion or the Ferengi ... or Janeway. She and Torres would have been incubating spores as soon as they could find some.

He'll be based on the Abrams movie Spock.
That’s the kind of loose ends that bug me. Introducing a Klingon ship covered with tens of thousands of dead warriors screams “army of zombie Klingons!!!” to me, but it went nowhere. I’m dying to know where Fuller was planning to take that.
