In episode 13, near the end
Which Discovery loose ends bother you the most?

Same place as the Spore drive I'd guess.
Guessing Burnham will be there soon as well given the fact Spock never mentioned her once in over 50 years.
IMHO this was the writing team telegraphing that they too thought the season was a steaming pile of shit, and just want is to mostly ignore what happened and move on.
Although I can say with some certainty that the spore drive will be used next season, even if they don't plan to now. It's too tempting of a plot device for the writers to avoid.
That would have been amazing
LOL. I don't want an emo scene with Stamets. I think a nice funeral service like they had for Spock or Tasha Yar would have been enough. It doesn't even have to be that long. Just a respectful goodbye.
Wow! Lets show a little patience, shall we? Its the end of season ONE!! We're still nine years away from Kirk era Trek. Plenty of time to figure out dangling questions like why no spore drive in the future. My guess? A tragic or enlightening event (take yer pick) sometime next season or even in 3 or 4 will render the drive inoperable. Probably some sentient form of spore will appear and prevent Starfleet and everyone else from using it for good. Outta sight outta mind as it were.
If Wormhole's calculations are correct we're only months away from "The Cage". But there really is no way to reconcile Discovery with TOS, Discovery's timeline might as well be an alternate reality timeline like the Kelvin timeline. I really wished the writers had just made the decision to place it in an alternate timeline, saying it's Prime while introducing reboots of characters and technology just doesn't work.
Saru is officially First Officer, USS Discovery (and acting Captain). Burnham gave her speech in Command colors but took an assignment as Chief Science Officer, USS Discovery. So he is above her in the chain of command. Where each is grade-wise, in consideration for promotion to command of a different vessel is a different matter. I don't know how long Burnham was a commander on Shenzou or how her pre-mutuny record is appended with her discovery service. I don't know if Saru declined a promotion to Discovery Captain or other vessel captain (since serving as first officer to a capable captain is a big deal to him). Nor do I think such a thing will matter as Starfleet has losses right now exceeding BOBW from the Klingon war. Capable, battle experienced officers tend to have opportunity thrust upon them in times like Starfleet is facing.
The events of The Cage happened in 2254; Discovery's events start in 2256, two years after The Cage.
I haven't seen Wormholes's calculations, but if they say, DISCO is only month away from The Cage, they aren't correct. The Cage happened two years before the start of DISCO

It's a wig silly
What the hell do you mean "If"? From The Vulcan Hello:
Context is for Kings is six months later, as per the caption on the screen at the beginning, making it November 2256.
As others have already pointed out, Disco is two years after The Cage.
I insist the Rand and Tilly have some 23rd century hair machine.
According to Anthony Rapp, Discovery takes place two years BEFORE The Cage.
Exactly.
They retrieved it when everyone was evacuating the Shenzhou in episode 2. No mystery there.
