Get rid of all of the nonsense from Staments, Tilly, and Adira, and it's a downright good ep.
The ending scenes were nice, even if they were totally tacked on. If you removed the Kovich and Short Treks stuff, it wouldn't have made a difference; but whatevs. Just nice to finally be through it.
It was hilarious to see a shot of Detmer acting as if she'd actually been in the series this whole season.

That really illustrated the problem with the whole show, the two most key members of the bridge crew, Detmer, and whats her name the other helmsmen went off to do other jobs and basically missed the season, and nobody noticed, and it didn't make a difference.
To me the show was the ultimate misfire. I mean as bad as I think Voyager was because beyond just a major storyline issue for me, that had really annoying characters.
Discovery had problems from story lines just being ridiculous (A kids temper tantrum causing a mass destruction event, and what happened to that kid, I thought Saru was going to raise him. I hope someone remembered to change its diaper). The the whole awfulness of the mirror universe season. The characters that were no more then lawn furniture.
With TOS and movies, TNG and especially for me DS9. You found yourself caring about all of the characters, so you could be manipulated by the script writers in really profound ways.
When you watch Discovery your emotions go from "oh come on man, who wrote this Sh$t", to "Who cares, Michael will go god mode to fix it". To "Oh good another meeting to talk about feelings" to if something bad happens to a character "Who gives a crap".
Unlike and as people noted here, you can go back and watch TNG, and a lot of you can pull up your favourite episodes from memory, same with DS9, and even to an extent Voyager". I doubt too many people in decade or two are going to log into Calgarypuck and suggest "Hey man lets do a rewatch of Discovery and talk about the best parts".
