I hope this means we are going to see more of Rebecca Romijn in the next episodes rather than her short 4 minutes appearance so far.

Agreed,
I am also sad but not surprised that Captain Pike will be departing. Truth be told I felt that his character really improved the series. I just hope whomever takes the center chair keeps the momentum going.

Not unexpected to see Mount/Romijn depart but still disappointing to hear the news. Pike has lifted the series somewhat so whoever comes afterwards is going to have some big shoes to fill to keep things going.
I'm still holding out hope they'll shift the series towards a more DS9-era ensemble theme going forward rather than focusing on Burnham. She's basically Wesley Crusher 2.0 at this stage. There's lots of interesting peripheral characters there, lets see them get fleshed out and pushed forwards too in the future!

Pike was obviously going to be gone at the point when the Red Angel mystery gets dealt with, he was only sent to Discovery to take charge and investigate.
I'd prefer they steer away from established canon characters to take over and let the series grow without borrowing from existing stories. So less Spock, no Pike (except maybe some visits now and then). There must be hundreds of decent officers around that time who could take over, and they were meant to pick up their new captain on Vulcan at the end of S1....he/she is probably still sat there in an empty space terminal waiting......

I don't think so. I really think seasons 3 through the end will be Captain Saru and XO Burnham.

Saru is the obvious choice. He certainly seems to be most qualified for the job, and has the most experience of being responsible for the ship. The only thing going against him is how exactly his "evolution" from prey species will affect his ability. He's already been argumentative with officers, and ignored crew members fighting in the mess room.
Whilst Burnham might be an outstanding officer at the moment in terms of her skillset (ignoring her past issues) she still has some flaws which are not befitting of a captain. She ignores orders, has some questionable relationships with the likes of Tyler etc.
I think i'd be nice to have someone unknown possibly, but then that starts us off from the beginning again which would hamstring the series I think.
Perhaps they can demote Admiral Cornwell to captain seeing as she's been working with them pretty closely since the start anyway?

I think it would take nothing short of a miracle for Michael Burnham to get the Captain's Chair of any Starfleet Vessel much less one of the fleets most advanced starships.
Although she redeemed herself by helping to bring an end to the War with the Klingon Empire. I'm sure there are still some within Starfleet Command who hold a grudge. Much like some Starfleet Personnel quietly held a grudge against Jean-Luc Picard for the Battle of Wolf 359. Although in the Captain's defense. Resistance was futile and he wasn't directly responsible for what happened.
Either we get a Captain Saru, which is admittedly the scenario I'd love to see, or someone else waiting on Vulcan takes the center chair. But Michael Burnham will likely remain at the rank of Commander and within the science division.
I could be wrong though. lol It's not my story to tell.

I’m not sure why Saru is being avoided for Captainship at this point and I hope the ship being assigned a temporary captain doesn’t become a thing for each season.
