Star Trek on Paramount+ November 21, 2020 Stream Star Trek: #ShortTreks "Calypso" on /kh1n03k7v7 So, how might they make it all fit?ĭiscovering a strange new ship. In fact, just yesterday the official CBS All Access Star Trek account was promoting it on Twitter. It’s clear that they are not ignoring this Short Treks entry. However, season three has already started to directly reference the future seen in “Calypso.” As another previous analysis highlighted, we have seen dialogue in season three (most notably the word “V’draysh “) that picks up on elements of “Calypso.” More importantly, the season three episode “ Forget Me Not” showed how the ancient Sphere Data the ship picked up in season two is evolving and integrating with the USS Discovery, heading towards becoming the Zora AI seen in “Calypso.” They even brought back the actress who provided Zora’s voice. And “Calypso” could also just be seen as a nice standalone short story and that is that. Star Trek has survived with these kinds of canon mismatches before. Had they known they were going to give the ship a refit and new registry they would have done so back in 2018.
One could simply say that “Calypso” came out two years ago, before season two of Star Trek: Discovery, and this is just a bit of canon mismatch that can be ignored for the sake of allowing the show to forge ahead with their season three storyline. So the refit creates a bit of a canon issue: How can the USS Discovery seen in “Calypso” be the same ship 1,000 years later? “Calypso” is clearly tied to season three
