Put me on record as thinking Carl is a Q. Course, we will probably be proved wrong and something out there will come up.
I'm going to guess they won't explain Carl at all. He's just one of those weird things you find in Trek.

Perhaps. I could see it going that way as well.I'm going to guess they won't explain Carl at all. He's just one of those weird things you find in Trek.
The word “question” appearing in two shows is pretty tenuous!In "City on the Edge of Forever", the Guardian of Forever is inert until Kirk asks Spock (or vice versa) a question about the Guardian. then it lights up and proclaims "A question! Since before your sun burned hot in space, I have awaited...a question."
In "Terra Firma, part 1", Carl says "The answer follows the question. It's dangerous if it goes the other way." I can't remember the full exchange.
On top of all the other CotEoF references swirling around Carl, this leans me further toward thinking Carl and the door are a Guardian.

Calm down, man.Morrus, this reads like you are willfully ignoring elements. It isn't just the word.
In both cases:
1) a character poses a question to another character
2) the entity pipes up, talking about questions
3) the entity then provides a gateway through time.
If you want to dismiss that similarity of sequence as coicidence, that's fine. But at least acknowledge the entire sequence.
I can officially no longer tell if DISCO earns its delirious emotional beats or not.
