That was a terrible season finale. More space magic than dune and more plot armor than Batman.

I liked it too, except for the Timelord tech stuff. Because that has got to be the single dumbest thing in all of Discovery so far.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

She is not. What would make you think she was? She's been Phillipa Georgiou since Episode 1.

I haven’t seen that one yet.


Are you watching them out of order? LOL, that would be wonky.

She's not related to Hoshi though, be assured. She is an entirely new character. No one on Disco is related to anyone in the canon of previous shows aside from Michael being related to Spock and raised as his sister.

Just watched the series 3 finale - honestly, I enjoyed it. I think I go into any Trek not wholly expecting it to stand up to logic, which helps.

I liked the message of it all. "Even in fear, you can still step forward."

Well mirror hoshi was the first Terran empress. I had the same thought once.

I finished season 3. I liked it as TV but I didn't like it as Trek. The crew are a right bunch of emo pussies. I'm good with friendships and relationships forming but you still do your goddamned duty to Star Fleet. Trek is always predicated on the fact that the crew care deeply for each other - they don't all need to couple up for the audience to get that. Occasionally they go against protocol to rescue each other but the very fact it is occasionally makes it interesting. You don't just constantly flout rules because you're a maverick and get away with it. Operate within the rules and be a maverick to win in unwinable situations.

Bleugh. It's being dumbed down. They should be Star Fleet not a high school choir.

I disagree with all of that. Shrug.

You know the word "mansplain"? They need an alert caption on the screen with "Burnamsplain" on it.

YES!

The TNG-era dept. colour are back!

I'm not sure why we need another galaxy-spanning "anomaly" to investigate as an arc...I mean, S2, AND 3 pretty much boiled down to Galaxy-spanning anomalies...

Still. Looks dope and looks like Disco will finally settle into the timeframe...

Watched it in the Lyft to and from work yesterday. Episode 3, everything about it have me incredible mass effect 2 vibes.

Samar’s was present. The devastation threat was there. Gathering allies. Awakening ancient relics.

Finally got around to finishing the 4th season. WHAT a disappointment.

Like this was a really SOLID 2-parter episode blown out into 13 episodes of needless filler.

It also was another season of a "universe-destroying" level threat....if STRANGE NEW WORLDS (and LOWER DECKS) has taught me anything, it's that New Trek can be episodic and fun and interesting and compelling without the need for a season-long single arc with a universe-ending threat. DISCO needs to readjust itself for S5 if it wants to survive.

We need more episodes focused on people other than Burnham, Saru and Stamets. No one else on the crew gets much play and it's exhausting. I like this show, but I feel like so far it peaked with S2, and while S3 was decent and enjoyable, S4 was an exercise in tedium....and adding in the break in the middle of the season doomer it further for me.
