So, let me see if I can make sense of this shit heap
>Enterprise is disabled by a red burst, Pike detects seven signals but can only find the location of one (???) commandeers Discovery to get there
>It leads them to a crashed Fed ship with a dyke engineer and dark matter asteroids
>Michael sees a red angel figure
>Second red burst is located, leads them to a planet of rural humans, they save it with the dark matter asteroid
>Michael decides they need to find Spock
>On the way to Spock, by chance an ancient sentient planetoid Sphere grabs Discovery, downloads its library of data and dies
>Another red burst appears over Kaminar, Saru's homeworld. Saru learns that his species is not meant to be prey, but the predator species and leads a revolution against their oppressors. The red angel appears again to destroy all alien weapons that were going to execute the Kelpiens.
>The red angel departs back through a wormhole to the future, Discovery attempts to follow with a shuttle but is attacked by a future advanced sentient AI which infects the cyborg crewman Airiam.
>Michael finds Spock, but his brain is messed up from interacting with the red angel, who messed up his sense of experiencing time. They're able to fix it, but at this point Section 31 is chasing Spock under orders from 'Control', their threat analysis AI which has become evil and near-sentient.

>Discovery decides to go to Section 31 headquarters, where they learn Control is evil and has killed S31's leadership. The future evil AI infecting Airiam is a future version of Control, and wants her to download the Sphere's library of information into the past Control, in order to make it sentient and fulfill its destiny to find all sentient organic life a threat and wipe it out in the galaxy.
>Airiam gets spaced to prevent this.
>Turns out the red angel is a time suit Section 31 built with Michael's parents. Her parents were killed trying to protect it - however her mother actually got away and went to the future where she saw how Control killed everything, and has been trying to stop it through time travel since. She is not responsible for the red bursts, but she is responsible for fucking Spock's brain. Discovery is able to question her shortly by killing Michael and trusting that the red angel can magically revive her (???) even though its just a time suit.
>The present-day Control assimilates Section 31's remaining commander, Leland, and for all intents and purposes seems sentient but still wants that Sphere data. He interferes with Discovery and the red angel and results in Burnham's mom and the time suit being sent to the end of the universe or something.
>Discovery is now being hunted by all of Section 31's ships remotely piloted by Control. A red burst leads them to a Klingon planet home to time crystals, which Pike takes, for the sacrifice of knowing his future (wheelchair bound).
>Discovery tries to destroy the Sphere data, finally, but its self-aware and tied to the ship and won't allow itself to be destroyed. Discovery figures out that they're meant to remove the data from this time, and take it to the future (???)
>To do this they build a new red angel suit using the time crystal in under an hour (???), and instead of warping to the other side of the galaxy, they sit and wait for Control to find them while they do this.
>Control attacks Discovery and Enterprise who help them in a huge battle, the Klingons and yass queen from Kaminar help too.
>Michael puts on the red angel time suit and goes back in time to set all the red bursts from the season - including somehow having the miraculous tech to destroy all those weapons on Kaminar - and completes the time loop. She then starts to drag Discovery through a wormhole into the 33rd century, out of Control's reach.
>Meanwhile, Control seems to be operating entirely out of Leland's assimilated body, which is killed by magnets. Everyone is informed Control is dead shortly before Discovery enters the wormhole, but they decide to leave anyway despite the threat being gone.
>The two remaining red bursts are set by Michael - one to guide Discovery through the wormhole, and one to indicate they make it safely through for those left behind.
>Enterprise and everyone sane agrees never to talk about the events of this series ever again.
Fuck me. NOTHING makes sense
I honestly can't figure out how it was humanly possible for you to sit through any more of that fucking garbage after the first two-parter. I've seen some shitty shows but god damn that was intensely bad.
Michael's time jumping is what causes control to be infected by the future AI. Infected control is the reason why Michael decided to jump back in time. It's a paradox. They didn't think it through.
i like how they made it turn out that michael was the red angel all along, except it turned out to be her mother all along, except it turned out to be michael all along. what quality storycrafting :)
glad I dropped this mid season 1
So her mother did nothing right? If she didn’t set the red bursts then all she did was save Michael as a kid and again when she died on that planet. She didn’t help beat Control at all
if she didn't rescue Michaels then Michaels wouldnt be alive in the future to be the red nigger.
The one question never asked was who was phone?
