I'd be happier if Burnham and the whole Discovery crew bit the dust and Vance + section 31 guy ran the show. Knowing Michelle Paradise the Disco writer crew, the Burnham will be president of the Federation pretty soon
Just have a mysterious something wipe out the entire crew in S4E1, and the rest of the episode just be glory shots of Discovery floating empty through space ala Star Trek, The Motion Picture. Just, like, 55 minutes of that. Then end the episode with a ship finding the Discovery, and boarding it. Voila, a "Great Reset", if you will. Then they can start over with a new crew set in the future.
I'd like to see that.
It could be
Spoiler!
We see a shattered Discovery tumbling in space, a Federation star ship in the distance. A shuttle slowly docks with the discovery.
Interior Discovery.
Lots of wreckage floating around. We see two Star Fleet security officers in space suits. They begin walking through the ship.
Security Officer 1 - "There's a lot of damage here sir, what do you think happened?"
The second security officer smartly whips out his tricorder and begins to scan"
Security Officer 2 - "Unknown, but I'm reading a elevated realization of bad decisions"
they come around the corner and see two bodies slumped against the wall. One Crewman's head is missing, his name tag reads Kurtzman. The other one appears to be battered, his name tag reads Fuller. SO2 scans the bodies.
SO1 - "Oh my god where's his head?"
SO2 - Found it, scans indicated that his head is firmly lodged in his lower intestine. This other one seems to have died by stupidly jamming a fork into a power conduit"
They wander on taking scans. They come around to a sad scene of a pretty crew member floating in the zero gravity. Her name tag reads Detmer
SO1 - "Here's another one sir we should . . . "
SO2 - "Leave it, nobody cares"
SO1 - "But sir, we should learn how she died"
SO2 - "It doesn't matter, forget her and move on"
They eventually arrive at the bridge, which is completely destroyed. There's a Red Headed Ensign, her finger fimly mashed on a red button, meanwhile, the Captain is still in the Captains chair, her head has been blown apart.
SO1 - "Wow this is brutal"
SO2 scans the captain's shattered head.
SO2- "reading eleveted levels of the ego hormone, as well her self righteousnous is off of the charts. Clearly it caused her head to explode, lets take a look at the final log"
The log comes up, we see the crew gathered in the middle of the bridge having a conversation. Clearly they are giving the Captain options and she is over ruling them and stating her ideas are better. The audio picks up.
Tilly- "This is bad, what if we do some science thing to boast the shields"
Burnham - "No we're going to do my convoluted plan. I just want to tell you all how much I love you"
SO2 - Fast forwards through 5 minutes of inane conversation while the ship shudders and explodes around them. We hear another voice"
Voice - "We are the Borg, we have scanned your vessel and after listening to you, we have decided that we really don't want to add your distinctiveness to our collective, have a nice day"
We hear Tilly's voice
Tilly - "Hey what does this F'n button do"
She mashes her finger on the button and the hologram breaks up.
SO1- "Horrifying"
SO2 - "Lets plant some charges and blow this ship to hell so the stupidity virus that infected them doesn't effect us"
SO1- "Promise me you'll shoot me if I start showing symptoms"

Oh its coming, look at the character development of Burnham, her whole story is built around screwing over her superior officers.
Stages a coup on George. George ends up being the main course at a Klingon Buffet.
Screws over Saru on multiple occasions, makes him look like the worst dumba$$ ever. Even when she was demoted, argued and over ruled his commands.
So yeah, she's totally going to stage a coup on the Federation.

Maybe that's why they removed Disco from the production schedule. They're renaming it Star Trek:Burnham.
Seriously shes gotta be the most unlikable character out there, narcissistic behaviour, saviour complex, constantly throws her friends under the bus. Really no redeeming personal qualities but she somehow always saves the day because the universe aligns to fix her mistakes every time while she fails up the chain of command. Like I get it when characters are flawed, realize their errors, and get redeemed through struggle.... but she's had three seasons and she's still the same.

It was weird how Doug Jones was treated. Basically abandoned. Is it possible he didn't want to go through all the makeup anymore? They came up with a really weird plot point in the holo where he appeared as a human for the last few episodes. it would all make a bit more sense if he was done with the costume.
Maybe Brunham overthrows the Admiral, then installs Saru as the new Admiral, so he only makes guest appearances.

This- they made him human so he could better relate to and be less dramatic to... someone from his actual race?

Doug Jones has made a career of being one of the really good actors under makeup. I think it feels like more of, we need to sum up his story so he's no longer Captain so we can shoe horn Michael into the captains chair. I expect he's done, we might get an episode with him as a guest star, but it feels like he's done.
Lets be honest though, they completely wrecked him as a Captain or even a respected character in this show. Its too bad because he's an exceptional actor and did a great job in that last episode. Meanwhile Green is and continues to be just an terrible actress.

His writing this season was decent. I also liked Paul trying to put Hugh's life ahead of the greater good (i.e. anti-Starfleet morals but very human).
I also like how they took Adira under their wing it was nice a positive. Now while Star Trek has always been progressive I have a question about Adira, does she want to be called 'them' because of her sexuality/identity or because she is literally a gestalt entity?
Also what species was she turned into in the holo?

Adira was Xahean, like Po from the short trek/Season 2:
Do you have a link to this? I just did a quick google search and I'm not seeing this news anywhere. The latest update I've found is that they're set to begin filming on Feb. 1st, at least according to Jeri Ryan.
For the season 4 they are supposedly having funding problems now that Disco has shown itself to be horribly disappointing for Netflix and the contract is up. It's part of the reason why they ended the season on the Star Trek quote.
~1:00 mark. Apparently a dedicated video on this a bit later since these are recent rumors.
As for Picard production problems, these are around Covid-19 and being unable to get Patrick Stewart insured for filming at his age with the current stage of the pandemic + number of case in California (like a full fifth of LA). They may have started production, but filming cannot start until Stewart has his insurance. It's at the ~2:00 mark from midnight's edge livestream.
I was testing out some equipment and I used some scenes from Star Trek into darkness. I also put on “all our yesterday’s” from TOS. I was surprised with my reaction to the characters.
Star Trek is about relationships. Between the crew, between other species, even relationships with technology.
We have had 3 seasons of discovery and the best relationships were between pike, number one and Spock!
I’m fine with discovery; I would like the show to continue. The writers should seriously consider looking into the relationships between cast members. Honestly, if you were in space for 3years wouldn’t you have buddies? The best Star Trek episodes don’t involve quantum space jumps and transporters everywhere, they involve danger to personal relationships, challenges to be solved, and situational awareness including moral dilemmas like the prime directive. You don’t need multimillion dollar green screen episodes every single week.
I feel that there is a story for Discovery to tell, but it exists between having the only starship that can transport literally anywhere and saving the entire universe every week.

There are really only two or three developed characters on the show, Michael, Saru, Stamets, everyone else is two dimensional and non existent. The storyline last year to me wasn't good and all that interesting, and they took a good concept with the burn and made it so silly that it was cringeworthy.
I've heard that netflix definitely wants out, they don't want to pay that budget for a show that's looking like a dog. Except for Flashes of good, the writing and storylines and development have been in my mind poor to boring to silly. I keep watching because I know that TNG and DS9 took a while to get off of the ground. But after last years the Burn was caused by a angry baby, I almost checked out. When they gave what's her face command, and she promptly turned it around and gave it to Michael and they had an 8 minute discussion while under fire I pretty much gave up. Then I decided that this show would be awesome on the college humor youtube channel.
I won't mourn to long if it doesn't come back.

I haven't even been able to get motivated to watch the season 3 finale. It's like an hour long and I know it's going to be not very good. I just read the plot online and yeah, about as expected, somehow Burnham becomes the captain even though it makes no sense for Starfleet or her personally. Just so sick of her. The mirror universe episodes were hilarious with her trying to act "evil" - everyone else was able to pull it off but she seemed like a kid in a bad theatre play. With Michelle Yeoh and now seemingly Doug Jones off the show they seem to have lost anyone that has any acting ability or nuance. Like even if Yeoh was hammy at times at least she was interesting. Do I have any interest in watching another season of Burnham and Tilly? Ugh.
Strange New Worlds at least has potential because we already like the characters and actors and they have solid chemistry. We'll see how the other shoe drops though, they're going to find some ways to make it woke and progressive somehow -- can't have two straight white male characters steal the show...
