Yikes, I looked back and it was month ago when I was seeing Discovery eps. I actually saw up to the last two eps of s2 and... just paused.
Anyhow, recalling stuff
- don't like Spock with the beard. Also folks should know about fake holo stuff, cmon.
- Airiam the cyborg died. They could have given her more attention before she died. But her death flags background stuff was nice. And she died. Ugh, she was visually cool and useful. They should have killed someone else.
-oookay the Red Angel was the mom. But I'm sure Burnham will be the Red Angel in the end too.
- I actually liked Leland the guy who was responsible to Burnham's parents being targeted. Him being infected by nanobots is gross and makes me think the Control will be the Borg in the end.
- oooookay I always wondered why the Klingon homeworld named 'Chronos'. Sooo did Disco make them Time crystal keepers cuz of the 'Chronos' sounding name? Haha. Oh and I guess the baby of Section31 Klingon guy isn't Mogh since he's an adult time crystal keeper guy.
- hugh and Stammets, stop futzing about your state of love, the universe needs saving!
- guess the last ep will have the last two signals and everything will wrapped up nicely. Maybe strand Burnham and Disco in the future so we can have progressive Trek eps?
Just the final ep of s2 and I'll watch an ep every day until the end (36 eps?), so can be ready for July 17 Strange New World, woo!

Literally the smartest thing they could’ve done, given the corner they painted themselves into.
Saw the s2 finale.
The space fight was pretty great, I'd say. Also the Leland vs Michelle Yeoh vs whatshername. Really good effects.
The signals thing was a cool, since it is time travel. I'm ok with Leland and I'm still sorry he died.
Yeah, he shaved, haha.
I had to check info on Tilly's friend with the tattoos and... Short Treks? I have to watch Short Treks? I have to watch it first before Discovery s3, in case there's more references.

Saw s1 of Short Treks
1- Tilly meeting the queen was pretty basic but that's ok
2- did that guy go home? He had Disco on his shirt so this was hinting that the end of s2 Discovery had the crew all die and the ship was alone for decades? Does this get a follow up?
3- Saru origin, sure
4- Mudd, ok. Could have been shorter but nice twist.
5- wasn't wild about Spock and Una in an elevator. But, hey, Strange New Worlds.
6- I remember seeing this before! I think I watched it when I heard about Tribbles. Tribble being man made is gross, with the DNA. Is the name Edward important? Like the writer that created the Tribble?
7- I hate those tests like that. Trek always shows the Captains breaking the rules and following emotions over logic etc etc so putting that lady in a test and making her strictly follow the rules... I don't know what to think. Hollywood narrative goes for follow emotions (her husband is in danger) and blindly following orders is bad too. But then she wouldn't have gotten the post if she followed her emotions. And it's a mind game. She wouldn't be able to trust captain Pike after this. I don't like this one.
8- Burnham as a kid, typical.
9- very cute on the ripper tardigrade! I know the giant hand from TOS, the space grid from Q from Next Gen but what's that middle spine tunnel thing? Also I didn't like the Abraham Lincoln thing. Was that an adventure time reference? Or did I forget an Abraham appearance in TOS? I'm not into the robot cleaner cuz they're not a common thing in Trek. Could have been an Exo Comp from Next Gen?
10- I thought it was going to be a alien racial thing going on, with the two girls fighting. Guess not?
I suppose I'll watch s2 of Short Treks next. Any more ancillary Trek stuff I should watch out for? I saw Very Short Treks already.

Sorta
Okay, I just saw this, and had to post it here.

That song works so well with this scene from season 3 of Picard.

That was pretty cool, hehe

Aaand turns out s2 of Short Treks was the rest of the ten eps. Guess I saw everything.
Saw ep1 of s3. So 930ish years into the future after pre TOS. I was hoping it would be Picard s3, Lower Decks s5 time so Discovery can make new lore instead of backtracking. But an alternate timeline with a Burn destroying the Federation? Eh.
The alien animals were awesome tho.

Not really an alternate timeline the way that term is usually intended. This is intended to be the same timeline as, say, Picard s3. Just much farther into the future.

I'm going to assume that Disco will make the Burn future into an alternate timeline by going into the past to remove it. The Federation being in shambles means that Picard, Janeway, Sisko, Freeman failed or so. Very depressing so am gonna assume it will be erased.
Am in ep7 so halfway done. Adira Tal will probably be important else why bother bringing her in except for the kid character appeal. Fun seeing a Trill symbiont again. I forgot other races can take in the symbiont.
The head of the Federation looks like ... that funny Parks and Red guy but with a beard.
The new Vulcan Romulan planet is cool but turning it into all about Burnham is an eye roll. Finding the mom and putting her on the bus is an OK wrap up.
From the Shorts with the Discovery ship having an affair ish with that lost pilot, would have been funny if that guy was Grudge's owner and Burnham's current love interest.
You should be used to this by season 3. Lean into it. You're never shedding it.
Aaaand I'm done with s3.
They wasted two eps saying goodbye to Michelle Yeoh.
The Aldira pronouns thing could have been more understated, since I'm sure lots of aliens have that thing translated but, yeah, that representation could be a lifeline to some person out there.
Oded Fehr was the Federation head?!?! Dang, I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't place him.
THAT'S the cause of the Burn? Dang.
When was Lower Decks to Discovery s3? Because of Tendi, I see Orions are nice, even though she says they're all pirate y and all that. That Osyra lady was horrible.
So that's why the repair droid was shown in the intro and in that tardigrade short. But they really should have foreshadowed it more.
Anyway, no time travel back. Maybe by s5 they jump back to the relative time frame of Picard s3.

Side thing but what Trek of Peter David should I try to look for? I love his comic work with its humor and such but I didn't get into watching Trek until Orville Lower Decks.
What're the essentials, in case I can find them?

The first four books of New Frontier are available in an omnibus edition, and the full NF reading list is here:
If you'd like to try something more stand-alone, he also did a bunch of books in the "Numbered" Era. My favourites are Q-in-Law (involving both Q and Lwaxana Troi), and I, Q (co-written by John de Lancie himself).
