Star Trek: 10 Things We Are Most Excited To See In Discovery S3

Star Trek Short Treks Calypso

The Short Trek Calypso was a stand-out moment for Star Trek: Discovery. Coming on the heels of the show's first season, it teased what we now vaguely know about the third season, with the ship lost in a nebula, 1000 years in the future.

We know that at some point, the crew will need to abandon Discovery and it will be discovered by Aldis Hodge's Craft. The relationship that he develops with Discovery's main computer, who is named Zora at this point, is a beautiful story of man and machine, told in a tight fifteen minute window.

Calypso is still one of the most fascinating moments in Discovery to date. Even with the ship being hurtled into the future, there is so much mystery to this tale - what is happening, when is it happening and what is Craft's relationship to the greater story of Discovery? And where are the crew?

This is one of the greatest mysteries that the show has yet offered.
