So just finished the last season of season of Discovery. Ya , I know it’s been a while but I didn’t want to get Paramount+ for a show I didn’t really like that much. It was an ok season I guess but the ending was kind of weird. There’s sort of three endings.
Spoiler:
The ending the the usual saving the universe storyline which was fine. Then the flash forward to Burnham’s happy ever after ending - also fine. But then why does she have to go out with Discovery to the middle of no where by herself? Seems like a plot seed that is not a plot seed?

Spoiler:
Burnham’s happy ever after was added when it was confirmed that it would be the last ever episode, and Discovery was left unmanned in deep space to fulfil the Short Trek episode Calypso.

Oh ok. Thanks. I didn't even know about these Short Treks. Seems like something that should be on Youtube but are not...
It's hard to say much about it. It doesn't have the chance to get dramatic moments like other Trek that stick in your memory but it's a real good laugh every time.
It's goofy and that's perfect because you can't appreciate Trek without going "well that's just silly" and enjoying it.

On the one hand, I always wanted them to address the Jennifer situation after Season 3.
On the other hand, this was not what I expected and it's kind of so dumb it's neither dramatic or funny. Like the end of it was good imo, but the set up and follow through was largely stupid in an eye rollingly this is dumb kind of way.
The Boimler side plot was just funny because Ransom is like the Randy Marsh of Lower Decks except they never showed him so much they overused him and made him no longer funny.
