Comment on On the end of Discovery
dpkonofa@lemmy.world 6 months agoIt’s not my favorite but it’s up there. I think the premise of all the dithium exploding and seeing “the far future that feels less future” that the OP described was actually really cool to me. The previous season where Burnham has the magic flying angel rocket suit was pretty stupid and made it feel like there were no stakes.

Premise was great, buildup was okay, outcome and resolution were awful.

I liked the big reveal, but I can see how it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
Partial Spoiler
Normally when Trek is going to do a Trelane or Q story, it’s introduced early in the story. This was a weird left turn at the end, and leaves us wondering if any plotline later will also do so. I didn’t mind it in this season, because the season was so focused on about values and tradition, so I wasn’t expecting a hard scifi conclusion. Realizing they were ‘doing a Doctor Who’, wasn’t too shocking to me. But as much as I thought it fit here, it’s a weird way to resolve a Trek season, and I hope we don’t get that approach often.
