Is Michael Burham a Discovery character? I'm confused by this thread.

Replying to @DanMajdali
Yes. She is Spock's human, adopted sister, who was abandoned by a time traveling mother who sacrificed herself to become a giant mecha that protected her through her life so one day she could pilot it. She started Starfleet's first mutiny and the war w the Klingons

She has met Captain Pike's alien friends from Menagerie/The Cage, and allied with them; she has had sex with a Klingon who had species reassignment surgery; she has used fungus to warp space, and she used the mecha to go 200 years forward with Discovery to fight the future robots

i mean, i get you, this is all kinds of ridiculous but at least one member of the enterprise crew got hit by purple lightning and turned into a virtual god and the enterprise met the god apollo and q, trelane, the organians... star trek is weird, is my point

Yeah if we're talking absurd protagonist-centrism let's remember that the pilot and finale of TNG are bookends showing Q has chosen Picard to be the representative of the whole human race in Q's test to see if our species deserves to survive

The implication is Picard is some kind of ideal test case for what humans will someday become if they are allowed to evolve into gods

This is kind of why, if we want to get serious about it, Q not showing up at all on Star Trek: Picard feels like a plot hole I mean Picard actually dies on this show and on TNG Q did a whole fake afterlife/time travel thing when he just had a heart attack

Well ST: Picard contradicts so much of all the other series’s continuity that it’s really an alternate universe. It’s really good! But makes no sense, canon-wise.
