Doctor is dead
Tyler/Voq is dead
That leaves Burnham, Tilley and Saru - anyone else?
Makes me think we haven’t seen the last of at least one of the above list.
Tilley and Burnham don’t even have a rank. Burnham was enlisted out of her life sentence by Lorca, who appears to be evil, wouldn’t that mean she’d likley be going back to prison? Who’s left to command Discovey?

Even if Michael comes out as the hero, she's still a mutineer serving a life sentence, in the real world, its likely that the most she would get is a shortened sentence and booted out of Star Fleet, they're not likely to give her command of a Star Ship. But again this is Star Trek so logic might not apply.
Saru has filled in as the Captain, somewhat ably, but is he suited for Command, he's an alien whose major emotion and instinct is fear.
They might develop Tilly further, but she's just not that interesting.
Stamets seems ok, but if the Spore drive goes away, they don't really need a spore guy anymore, and he's not an engineer. On top of it, I have a funny feeling that he ascends to god hood at the end of this and ends up being like a traveller.
They don't have many minor characters that they've made interesting, I still think that Kyla Detmer could be developed more. I mean she still has to be really angry about her lot in life and being scared up like she is. But she's basically the Lt Madison from Galaxy Quest.
