Bonus:
The Omega molecule
According to Seven of Nine -
Omega is infinitely complex, yet harmonious. To the Borg it represents perfection. I wish to understand that perfection.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I feel like #2 would have limited the plot too much since there wouldn't be any danger Discovery couldn't just jump away from (no one would be able to chase them).
Then, the "fix the burn" plot would have involved either mass-producing spore drives for everyone in the 31st century (which would have been cool, though they didn't solve the living navigator problem) or pulling a brand-new FTL method out of their ass that everyone else had been trying and failing to do for the last few hundred years.
Edit: I guess since Omega can do anything the writers want, I suppose rather than destroying subspace itself it could have rendered the dilithium inert to cause the burn and everything else plays out the same except the stupid ending.
In regards to 2 - even with warp available to other ships the spore drive still gives the ability to jump away from any danger as they could jump just about anywhere.
What could have been cool is if omega molecule nuked large sections of subspace where ships currently were and it led to thin cooridors where warp travel was still possible...but that's where pirate groups like Emerald Chain showed up taking control of them. Starfleet was already spread so thin they could barely maintain control which led to the fracturing
That sounds awesome.
I like those solutions. The one I thought up was Stamets discovering something in the mycelial network that can regenerate subspace.
