Haven't watched it, but in case anyone wants to bother:
Spoiler!
Star Trek: Discovery ends with a time skip, its final scenes taking place decades after Saru’s wedding. An older Michael Burnham wakes up in a stylish house on an alien planet, passing Georgiou’s telescope as she goes downstairs – where she’s joined by Book, waiting for her with a coffee in their shared kitchen.
Burnham – now an admiral – has one last mission to complete. A Starfleet captain beams down to join her: he’s not just any captain, though, but Book and Burnham’s son, accompanying her to the USS Discovery for the last time.
For classified reasons Michael doesn’t entirely understand (but viewers who remember the Short Trek Calypso might), she’s piloting the USS Discovery into deep space, where the ship needs to wait for a thousand years.
After looking round the bridge one final time, remembering the crew that made her time there so special, Burnham issues the last command of the series: "Let’s fly."
I finished it! It's over. It did not get any better.
The emotional ending fell flat because, after 5 seasons, I still don't know all the characters names.
I actually thought the finale was pretty decent. Probably one of the better eps of the entire series.
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.
Star Trek: Discovery may be coming to an end tomorrow, but Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will live on, for years to come. The new anchor show for Star Trek on Paramount+ wrapped up production on its third season last week. Now we have the first indication as to when the crew will be returning to Toronto for season 4.
