Season 5
Episode 10 Series Finale
I watched the Series Finale this afternoon at home.
Burnham and Moll make it into the Progenitors technology. Burnham finds out it’s history and a receives a brief introduction on its abilities.
The Discovery does a saucer separation and uses its spore drive in a new way.
We got some insight on who Dr. Kovich is and his true identity which connects him to ST:TNG, DS9 and Enterprise.
The series ends with a 30 year time jump with Burnham/Booker as a married couple with Burnham as the rank of Full Admiral in Star Fleet. We meet their son who is a Captain in StarFleet. We find out Tilly is still an instructor at StarFleet Academy (There is an upcoming spin-off show starring her at the Academy) and she is the longest tenured instructor in its history.
The Discovery is still in service and having its “A” designation removed. It is being sent out into deep space on an unmanned Red Directive mission under control of the Ship’s computer Zora. We discover this officially connects it to “Star Trek: Short Treks” episode Calypso. This makes that short lived series officially canon.
Overall, it was an interesting series, not the best out of the Star Trek series franchise. It will probably be a series that will slowly develop a cult following years in the future as folks rewatch it without focusing of silly agenda nonsense. Star Trek: TOS when it originally aired in the 1960s was not well received and developed a cult following when it went into syndication in the 1970s.
The series ended off for future series/movies with all the surviving characters.
