It's a wormhole.That's... a ST'09-style 2D black hole
Spoilers Season 2 FINALE Trailer
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
Cue all those fans who'll be saying Discovery is heading to the far future of the Kelvin timeline.That's... a ST'09-style 2D black hole
I'm sensing the next 45 minutes, is as drastic a change in direction as Enterprise's 2nd Season "The Expanse".

It's definitely not the same effect used for prior Red Angel appearances or disappearances. Like the warp effect used in season 2, it's a definite callback to the time-warping black holes in the '09 movie.

Shhh!!! Next thing you know they'll notice the lens flares!

Yeah.... kinda' disappointing, especially since they already did it better this very season in "If memory serves" with the physically more acurate Interstellar-inspired wormhole.
But I think that hole that swallowed Ma Burnham in "red angel" was already the 90/00's SF "colorfull hole in 2D-space", so this one is in continuity with that... But yeah, a true 3D-hole would have been much better.
And apparently according to one tweet, it is going to be over an hour long.
It's a little less cloudy around the edges but otherwise they're the same 2D black hole.I'm not seeing the resemblance
They probably have a homing beacon of some kind for the Klingons & Federation to all join in with the battle. Plus L'Rell said they've detected the Red signals all along, in case they wanted to use that as a guide (which Starfleet could also do).
That reassures me, because they have a lot of ground to cover - even with the extended goodbyes taken care of in the last episode.
An hour plus gives them time to have the whole fight with Control/escape into the future in the first half of the episode, and something entirely unexpected in the back half.
Tyler got back his torch bearer insignia in an earlier episode, so I think he'll light a beacon and rally the Klingons.
It’ll likely be edited as one long episode in the home video release. Hence the singular title.
It looks like both Spock and Michael race to help dislodge the un-detonated torpedo from Enterprise's hull. She uses the suit, while he uses the shuttle. There's a shot of both of them landing on the outer hull of the Enterprise. So perhaps it's after they achieve that, the wormhole appears and she gets sucked in first. He gets left behind on the Enterprise and perhaps Saru orders the Discovery to follow her in before it closes again?
That will make things awkward for L'Rell later on, assuming she survives the upcoming battle. She told the Klingons that she killed him.
It looks closer to what such an anomaly would really look like, complete with the gravitation lensing effect around the edges. The ST09 version is flashy and more visually interesting.
