  Thank God. This would have been 2 straight hours of mind-numbing dialogue between characters about how much they’ve been through together and how much they’re going to miss each other.

  Good. It was already three seasons too long.

  It ended nicely but too quickly. I wouldn’t mind a special.

  I think they were well into shooting the season when the cancellation came down no? They didn’t have much time to turn the season finale into a series finale.

    They had no time at all - filming was already complete.

    They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.

  I think the word “movie” is a little misleading, but it makes sense that they would have wanted to do a full 2-hour “event” episode.

    Yeah. There were some things that were really sweet about that coda but it sure didn’t make for a coherent and satisfying end to the series that kick-started the modern era of Star Trek television.

  That’s a shame. Not that I’m into Discovery at all, but the best series finales are always double-episodes. I quite literally just watched DS9’s finale earlier today, and it would’ve felt way too rushed if it had just been a regular episode.
