Okay there have GOT to be THOUSANDS of completely unhinged bullshit conspiracy theories out there in the Star Trek verse regarding WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED to the starship Discovery.

You've got a MASSIVE experimental science ship with HUNDREDS of crew aboard temporarily under the command of Christopher Pike, who is considered like the GREATEST captain in Starfleet history, oh and MOTHERFUCKING SPOCK was there too!

And one day, as soon as Pike and Spock transfer back to the Enterprise, the ship just... disappears. It's reported destroyed with all hands lost and anybody who says anything about the ship receives an immediate promotion to civilian.

NOT TO MENTION that this was the ship that ENDED the Klingon war! You can't just disappear something that historically significant!

So one MUST assume that there's all sorts of nonsense out there. Maybe, like Voq, the Pike and Spock sent back to the Enterprise were ACTUALLY KLINGON INFILTRATORS SET TO DESTROY THE FEDERATION FROM WITHIN and DISCOVERY was DESTROYED because they FOUND OUT

And of course when discovery arrives in the 3180's it's crew find all these conspiracy theories, have a good chuckle over them, and completely demolish hundreds of subspace message boards when they reveal that the TRUTH is way more completely fucking bonkers than any of the conspiracy theories.
