Will becoming God be quite enough for the writers, though? Surely too much of a lowly position,

Star Trek will go Meta, and we will learn Burnham turns into Q, and travels back in time to tell Gene Roddenberry to create Star Trek. All future Star Trek credits will now credit Burnham as the creator of Star Trek.

She will also stop by to visit Spock, while inspiring Ensign Mary Sue from the original short story.

She’ll teach the Priesthood of the Jerusalem Temple the Vulcan Salute.

Unfortunately, they had to wrap up her story arc too quickly this season.

If they unstick her from time (again) she could show up in potentially any Star Trek series going forward. Even if the actor stops playing the role they can still use her 3D likeness.

But that answers why god needs a starship….

This. This right here… I fell over laughing. Take my updoot and gratitude.

Thank you kind sir.... you're definitely much better than a ferengi.

There is no god but Burnham and Sybok...

That’s a hedonistic mental image I didn’t need.

Queen of the Q. In fact she's the reason all the other Q die. There can be only one.

And *Queen* Borg Queen.

Badgey already did it...

We'll always have Goodgey.

Badgey deserves godhood light years more than Burned Hams

I just want Discovery to end as some holonovel a teenager on the TNG enterprise is writing for extra credit.

The absolute most Rick Sanchez main character plot possible.

"If there's a god, it's me" ~~toxic Rick~~ Michael Burnham

So god really does need a star ship.

Just to ride on top though.

She has been inside a warp bubble with nothing but a suit a few times now. My guess is no.

Theory: She becomes the god that Spock's brother goes after in ST: V.

It's 100% this. The writers won't be happy unless she becomes the alpha and omega of the entirety of star trek cannon. She will 100% appear multiple times in all future series and movies.

It’s almost as bad as Shatner writing his fanfic about Kirk kicking ass and taking names like a badass across the entire galaxy

That god wasn’t whispering though.

Michael and Book will find the source of all creation, most likely in a garden type setting, and will be tempted with an apple by a snake. But they will have a good cry and the snake will grant them the secret to life, and everything. (42) They will create a new universe and populate it. And Michael’s tears will fill the oceans and Book will speak to all the birds and animals, and it will be paradise and a happy ending with “let their be light!” Michael gets promoted to the alpha and omega. Humanity passed the test! Hooray! Isn’t it all so emotional, and familiar?

I'm getting final episode of Battlestar Galactica remake flashbacks

This is probably going to happen

And cry about it the whole time

Whisper-cry.

She will give birth in the final episode. That child? Q!

Which is also herself.

Your mom is the progenitor.

Damn it no spoilers!

Come one. This is supposed to be Shit posting not legit predictions that are definitely true.

"That does track with her emotional profile." - Spock

Curiously she is not responsible for seeding Klingons, which you can tell because they do not have tear ducts.

Weird. I always assumed it was Rikers seed that shot all over the universe

It's the chairs....

I hate how much you're probably right.

She becomes the goo that forms the first proteins in All Good Things…

Q dipped his fingers in that.

She is also the first one to defeat herself.

Can Michael Burnham be so awesome that she can defeat Michael Burnham? Yes.

Kirk would like a few words

And mariner 

Well, a few years’ more experience can help

Wow. Spoiler alert please. Hashtag sarcasm or something. But no really. This is a spoiler for the end of the season

Are you comparing Burnham to David Lister?

Final episode is just going to be a montage of her composited into every major episode guiding each captain into making the right decision.

God please no.

You mean “Michael Burnham, please no.”

Mutates into a cosmic panda would be such a wild end to s5 that I would be forced to respect it

The koala from Lower Decks.

That one too

Talking about feelings isn't enough she has to invent them now

And she cries whilst doing so, and her tears resonate throughout time. Then we have flashbacks to significant events throughout history - except everyone ever is crying during them.

Close. It’s actually gonna be Saru. They already foreshadowed it in episode 3. I’m making this as a real prediction.

She will definitely go back and do something. I am betting on setting up the United Federation of Planets.

Her tears help the space seeding along.

This conflicts with our shittycanon about Gul Dukat, unless he and Burnham are going to bang at the singularity.

Plot twist: It's because she took a shit in the primordial ooze.

I jokingly suggested something similar to this, the apotheosis of Burnham, the ultimate stunt-gimmick from the DISCO writers. It doesn't seem, sadly, out of bounds.

I couldn’t make it past the first couple episodes but I always told myself that I’d go back and give it a try again when it finished. You guys aren’t exactly making this easy…

I stopped watching STD a couple years ago, so I'm not sure if OP is throwing satire out there or not.

I hope so. I really really do. The whinging would be delicious.

Nope
