"You know, when Discovery first arrived, no one here trusted you. It wasn't just that you were in a 930-year-old starship and had never heard of the Burn, it was the way you carried yourselves, like you grew up in a world that believes anything is possible. Quite frankly, it-it stung. And is exactly what this new generation of cadets needs as the Federation rebuilds."

Dr. Kovich to Lt. Sylvia Tilly, Star Trek: Discovery, s04e04: All Is Well

That post going around saying what it would be like if the other Star Treks had mpreg only has the classic shows, and I, a guy who makes everything about Discovery, have been pondering how it would happen on Discovery, so here's our characters ranked by how likely I think it would be to happen for them, limited to characters who appear in more than one season because I don't give a fuck about Rayner, Lorca, Pike, or Blade

Saru, he's our main male character, so it makes the most sense to pick him, and canon already gave him a kid that they then promptly forgot about, so what's one more? Kelpians as a new species would be pretty easy to establish as having the men carry their young, or we could make his biology funky as the result of being the first person in generations to survive Vahar'ai

Book, again, a very big character and one who is clearly interested in having children since he does have one by the end. Kwejian are again a new species that could easily be established to reproduce this way, and trans Book readings are pretty common. Plus his wife got offered an apprenticeship in godhood, she could make his body work with it if they really wanted

Ash, what's one more fucked up thing happening to violate this man's bodily autonomy? It's fucked up enough that he and L'Rell do have a child together, and I can definitely see the writers making him carry Tenavik, especially since the way Tenavik did canonically gestate established that Klingons have the technology to do that outside of the mother

Culber, I'd be surprised if the 32nd century didn't have a way for men who want biokids to carry them if they want to. If he and Stamets wanted to, I'm sure they could, though I am glad they didn't; we do need more stories about adoption as a first choice, so I love them just taking in the worm kids. Culber only outranks Stamets on account of having had his body reconstituted by sentient mushrooms; you could easily say that altered his biology, especially since mushrooms have like millions of sexes

Stamets, for the same reasons as Culber, minus the mushrooms (though I know he's so jealous of Culber being made of mushrooms). I suppose you could make a similar argument based off his tardigrade DNA, but I don't know how tardigrade sex works

Kovich, Enterprise gave us our first Trek mpreg, why not have have one of their characters give us another? He is too old to get pregnant, but I'm sure their medtech could prevent, slow, or reverse menopause

Rhys, Bryce, Linus, Christopher, etc. Arguably I could rank Linus higher than the others since he's again an alien that we could just say works like that, but none of them ever get anything to do. If any one of them had a kid, it would be a one episode baby that's never mentioned again. Also I'm pretty sure Linus' species lays eggs

Vance, sure, why not? I can't think of any reasons for or against. He's already a dad, may as well give him another kid

Gray. Now obviously, trans men are the way that real life has men who get pregnant, but I think dealing with that would be way too touchy of a subject for Discovery to handle without accidently making it really offensive- which admittedly, has never stopped Star Trek before, which is why trans readings are a point for Book. But Gray also has the points against him of being a teenager and an android. I don't think Discovery would want to do a teen pregnancy storyline, and the logistics of how a robot gets pregnant would start endless debates

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY // S5E1 Red Directive We've been calling them the Progenitors. They created life as we know it.

[quasi-normalcy]

Kovich: Evidence of the Progenitors was first uncovered 800 years ago, by a Starfleet captain named Jean-Luc Picard--

Burnham: Wait, the guy who fucked my dad?

Kovich: ???

Burnham: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was reading about Sarek's life after I left for the future, and apparently, he had to mindmeld with this guy after he contracted Bendii Syndrome, and he spent the last few years of his life, like, katrically bonded to him.

Kovich: I see. Well, he was considered to be one of the foremost diplomats of the 24th century. Now, if we could return to the matter at hand--

Burnham: I think he also recorded my brother's Unification speech.

Kovich: ...

Burnham: Like that big speech he gave talking about how he was going to reunite the Vulcans and the Romulans.

Kovich: An interesting coincidence. Anyway, these Progenitors are considered to have engineered all humanoid life throughout the Milky Way--

Burnham: And wait, wasn't he the guy who modelled the mind-uploading process Dr. Culber used on Grey last year?

Kovich: Captain Burnham, I'm going to need you to focus up.

Burnham: Okay, sorry, you have my complete attention.

Kovich: Anyways, your next mission will take you to a Promellian graveyard planet. Now, the Promellian are an extinct civilization--

Burnham: Were they discovered by Jean-Luc Picard?

Kovich: ...No.

Burnham: Okay, good. I was starting to worry--

Kovich: But he *did* discover the most complete known specimen of one of their battle cruisers.

Burnham: Damn it!
