Also, what is dragging him along with Burnham and Rayner, while the consciousnesses of everyone else are presumably unaware of the jumps? Come to think of it what’s the point of the Time Bug if nobody involved is usually aware of it? Is the jumping just a side effect of the ship being “frozen” in time?

Alright, so Stamets is outside the flow of time. Presumably he doesn’t experience any of the future timelines because Stamets is dead, so do you think he just wakes up in the next time frame like it’s immediate, or does he sense the gap?
Also, if it’s affecting his DNA, is that a property of his body? He still has his personality in memories from before he spliced tardigrade DNA so it’s not tied to the specific body itself but I thought it would have been hilarious if they went back in time and Stamets is just past Stamets.
I would have loved to see a quick shot of him waking up in a bar in San Francisco or something while Discovery was under construction just going like “wait what”

I no longer remember why, but I had the impression that the Lorca-era jump was pre-gene splice. But I could be wrong.
The deleted scene we deserve.
