Discovery Season 5

[Nobody700]

Yeah but Hammer, remember... that suggests people actually bothered to think outside of the box... and Discovery showed us they can't ever do that. Now... eat your mushrooms and poop FTL.

I think I have given up on the show. I don't want to but I don't feel invested.

I am going to openly admit that I do like this season far better than the others. Still has the same issues as the others, this one just seems to be more entertaining.

However I do hate Moll with a passion.

I actually really like Moll as a character. She Main Character Syndrome-ed so hard she became the actual main character.

Would be an absolute nightmare IRL but fun to watch on the telly.

Surprisingly, this season has been doing well according to Nielsen ratings. A lot more than I would have thought, more so than PIC but with SNW still being mostly on top.

Hence why she and Michael must battle. Their can only be one.

Maybe I missed it, but was there anything that would indicate why Moll is so hostile to Starfleet? She was hostile to Discovery basically since the first episode.

Her sarcastic remarks started to grate on me after a while. And believe me I am not a Michael fan either.

Well that resolution was a cheap cop-out that spits in the face of all the central values of Star Trek even while explicitly giving them lip service.

I was liking the epilogue at least, but they did Zora so dirty out of nowhere at the very end that it's genuinely upsetting.

I have not seen it but basically from what I heard "Hey the Progenitors didn't create the tech they used to create life, they just sorta found it." Like... okay but who cares?

The finale felt underwhelming and that 30 minute epilogue just wasn't necessary IMO. The part when Michael is talking to her son on his first assignment as a captain was nice though.

I was kinda half expecting for her to pull a John Sheridan ending where she goes to find the Progenitor tech again in the end. Of course they left whatever mission Admiral Burnham is doing as a mystery, so I guess that's OK.

I rank it as the second worse Trek series finale. Above Enterprise because nothing compares to that and I don't count TOS because the series was canceled so there was no planned out finale. Picard's series finale was certainly better IMO even with all of the fan service.
