Didn't the big bad Klingon accuse the other Klingon of "letting her get away"? There's no way the admiral is dead. Having her come back and making life difficult for Lorca has way too much cliffhanger potential to just abandon that storyline.
Incidentally, I wonder if the writers are allowing the story to fragment too much. There are already a large number of storylines:
- Discovery spore drive tech
- Stamets' slow descent into insanity by powering it (Personal theory: he ends up becoming something akin to TNG's Traveller)
- Michael's long-term future. (in classic Trek fashion, the entire 'she's a mutineer' thing was dropped rather quickly)
- Michael and Ash's relationship
- Lorca becoming unhinged
- The Klingon war itself
- Klingon reunification efforts
- Albino Klingon's... whatever the hell he's doing
- The Admiral's kidnapping
- Sarek lurking in the background
- Tilly and Saru are little more than foils at the moment, which is actually a good place for their characters to be. But there will inevitably be a storyline for each as well.
