Discovery Season 2 (spoilers likely)

[Ketraar]

At the end of season 2 we know where Discovery ended up. Its made clear with the last sign and its the same(ish) spot where that "Empty ship" short takes place.
Which is what I said about it being similar to Voyager, as in it taking place in a region/time that does not conflict much with cannon and thus hopefully avoiding the idiotic red-coning. What I'll say is that sadly the most interesting characters wont be there (Pike and Georgiou, with the later already having a spin-off series confirmed).

My hope is that they just start from scratch and lets just take these 2 seasons as warm up and quickly move on to new and better writing.

MFG

We know where, but I'd contest that when is still something of an open question, given that that suit only seems to sometimes work as intended. . . and who knows how much subjective time could have past for whoever sent that last signal (probably Micheal)
If it is 900 years in the future as stated then we are completely out of any and all Star Trek canon. 100 years after the return of Voyager but 100 before the bits of Enterprise that dealt with the deep future.
The primary touch point from the latter, the Enterprise J in a battle with the sphere builders is from a timeline we know was prevented.

It certainly could be an utterly fresh start.
Question is are they simply gonna spore drive back to the Federation of that time? Or will they be hanging out in the Beta Quadrant. How does the 1000 years of Discovery alone fit in?

Um, what?

Voyager is launched in 2371, only a little over a century after the original Discovery timeline--it certainly doesn't take 700 years to travel back to the Alpha quadrant. Heck, it could have done it in a tenth of that time even without the time and space travel cobblers from the last season. Daniels from Enterprise was from "the 31st century", which would still be 100 years before "900 years after Discovery timeline".

Ooops yep I misread the time line

Spoiler

Discovery - 2250s
Return of Voyager - 2404

So presumably Dscovery (if it went as planned) would be some point in 3100s which is either after any event we've seen or roughly contemporaneous with the time Daniels was from.

Nonsense 'article'. Filming is due to start on Season 3 in 6 weeks time.

Not sure how that means they can't cancel it? They've cancelled series before where they've already filmed chunks of them--see Firefly. Would like to see more proof than one Youtube video of this guy's claims, though.

So has the Picard thing been canned? Been out of the loop for a few days..

S3 Discovery (if it happens) could go literally anywhere so I'd still watch it, S2's disappointments notwithstanding.

It was picked up by Amazon Prime. Netflix got outbid.
