This video just tells us what happened, it doesn’t answer the one mystery in the ending, the reason we’re all watching…
We all now the reason: for the departure of STD , for good..! Good ridance.
I didn't but was interested in the plot
What? That there are really only two genders?
The whole series should have ended with Mariner from Trek Lower Decks walking out of the Holo deck saying Computer End Program. Then saying Man that was a bad piece of fan fiction.
Then Boimler would say it wasnt that bad. Then Rutherford saying come on a kelpian somehow melding with dilithium and subspace and destroying most of the federation. Not believable
I would watch that
Muuuuch better
Yep maybe add computer delete program afterwards.
i just have a problem with letting the tech go when they go to all that much trouble. Seems hollow
Moll was such an unrealistic character. It made the show look silly how she was able to get away time after time. So Captain Michael could kick Lak's ass but couldn't handle Moll until the end. Come on, man.
The progenitor tech should have been a recipe for biscuits.
But , like, they're reeeeally good
I love Star Trek but this was sooo bad. Discovery is the first series i won't miss.
Do you think the fans cared if you liked it or not 😂😂
It’s great
If they had already made technology advancements that allow for near utopia in the 22 Century, it seems that by the 31 century, the Federation could have matched or exceeded whatever tech the progenitors had
Bingo
They had set backs like countless wars and the burn which nearly wiped out the federation. And who knows what else. The federation has a lot of powerful enemies. Not to mention when the progenitors used the device they had possibly billions of years to advance as complex life was forming. Not constant conflict like the federation faces.
And the tech at the end wasn’t the progenitors. They just found it and it was tech older and more advanced than anything they had.
And we never actually saw the tech get used. And we don’t know how many cycles of creation the universe has been through. The progenitors theorized it could be countless.
So while in theory the federation could match the progenitors tech. The tech of the technology was likely still way beyond anything the federation could achieve.
Other then trying to fill a plot hole, what was the point of sending the Discovery to sit out in space for a thousand years, with the spore drive technology just sitting there? Made no sense.
Is that wtf they where doing? Wild. Such lazy writing
Which plot hole were they filling? I don’t understand why they just left the ship floating?
Not to mention, there was an entire episode establishing the fact that the ship's computer Zora, is sentient and enjoys a deep social connection with the crew. So send her out into deep space to wait for a thousand years. WTF?
Okay Scott Bakula shows up at Twin Peaks' desk and says 'I need your flippy ship". Quantum Leap obviously has a tardigrade that owes Archer a favour. Zora is still Zora. End Scene - Archer is sitting with Admiral Trip on Risa. Star trek shorts you used to be great.
I watched the short and at the end of the last episode I cried because I knew how long the ship would wait for someone to show up. She is a sentient being and all alone. I hate how this ended. No one should be left alone like that.
This show should be stricken from canon. It was a hot mess from start to finish. Good riddance
Thank you my Sista for one helluva ride! Even though the last episode was kinda rushed a bit & why leave Discovery sitting in some space dock for God knows how long🙄 i really enjoyed the series! You're one helluva actor/actress & i can't wait to see what you're in next🥰✊🏿✌🏾
I loved this show! Kinda bummed it’s over, but 5 seasons is nothing to sneeze at! Its success is also to thank for Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and everything else we’re getting! They ended it pretty well considering they didn’t have long to wrap it up.
So they decided to abandon a sentient being in space. And did I miss something didn’t she tell the progenitor that she had to think about it and never gave an answer?
Seriously all that build up, thinking "Fifth Element hair" girl and "Green" Breen would get back together using the Jesus machine only for it to be stuck in the butt hole of Mr Popo. Then they just say "pan on the captain, stay on the captain for the rest of the episode" and give her a happy ending. Seriously wtf. They really did write themselves down the toilet.
Awesome show!
I kinda thought it would have been revealed that the Breen were in fact direct descendants of the progenitors, not just another creation of the technology.
Screen rant cooked on this one…. Cooked cereal that is smh
A great ending indeed loved the show from the start to the finish great series with a proper ending A1 to all the people involved thank you all so much Phil from Sydney.
For people asking about how it can be agent danles after he sent archer back home in storm front part 2 we dont really know were he ended up after time reset itself or if he chose to be in that time period maybe he didn't return to his time
No one is asking.
This whole series suck honestly it contradicts itself and most of the time what they start at in the beginning of the episode fades out and doesn't even matter like the whole Juliet Romeo thing they had going on what was the point what was the point she just walks away after getting told he can't come back
awesome. now, can we never speak of "spore drive" again please?
What’s wrong that?
@@entertainment6630 my own original pet grievance against the series, sorry
I thought the spore drive and the tardigrade were some of the more interesting hard sci-fi aspects of the show.
@@christian_cantarutti you're not familiar with the 8-bit video game? I say it's both OP and ... lay off the shrooms dude
@@christian_cantarutti in short, the spore drive was anachronistic within the ST universe. It was unnecessary, and the plot was actually taken from an 8-bit video game... well, there was a settlement I hear. The ship design.. even in the reboot films, the Discovery was way way too advanced. I hoped the best for the series but after S2 I was done.
Esta temporada, parece mas una quick and dirty solution, para terminar la serie que una temporado.
Parece q pusieron 2 o 3 temporadas en en una, cottando todas las diferentes historias que se deliniaron, Boker relationships, La Biblioteca, etc.
That’s because they were given short notice that it would end
I totally disagree with the audience and critics. Sonequa Martin-Greene was a great Burnham, her chemisty with David Ajala worked all along from season 3 and I am glad they got a happy conclusion unlike what cinema has it things need to be complex and intellectual or what not. They nailed the ending and made whoever like the show really appreciate it because they built an image of a family in that show that entertained us for 7 years.
Doug Jones was a great Saru it was probably a demanding job with all the prosthetics and masking and I am glad he to his apperance one episode and a happy conclusion as well. The entire cast and crew had a balance to them. The cast was really solid. Latecomer Callum Keith Rennie was a solid addition as Captain Rayner and I think he would be a great role for a spinoff. David Cronenberg is a legend of cinematography and his every appearance is meaningful to cinema. Can't wait to see Oded Fehr in the next Mummy movie.
Many are critical and say the show sucked, but not everyone has that opinion. People need to consider how much props making, acting, composing, art directing, motion graphics, 3d modeling and rendering and effort goes into these projects. To me this show was an experience that regardless of its flaws. And I would like to thank the entire cast and crew for the efforts they did for us fans even though sometimes we are not thankful for what we get.
Yeah I literally agree. I absolutely loved this show from the very first season. It was all amazing and suspenseful. A lot of people were saying how bland boring and awful it was and how it didn’t feel star treky. However this is the first Star Trek series I have watched and I found it so enjoyable to watch. A lot of people were saying how strange new worlds is so much better than this cuz it gives off the Star Trek vibes and was just so great but personally I just found it so boring compared to discovery. Overall I loved every character like philipa georgiou Stamets , Tilly saru and of course Burnham. I genuinely find it amazing that burnham went from muntineer to admiral at the very end. I am glad to have watch this show and yes I may be one of the rare people to speak positively about it but honestly I just love sci fi and suspense and Star Trek discovery gave exactly that.
@@riyadparvez1319 It's difficult because so many people are agressively hating on it. But the audience and the critics are never to be listened. Often the audirnce is better but sometimes it's subjective. Like they say, you do you. And you won't be wrong deep down.
She was a bad actor in all seasons. At least the TNG cast got better at acting during the seasons.
@@codymonster7481 nope...
What happened to all the crew because she was alone at the end the fleet group still alive or dead ?
Yea, this show is crap. In an unlimited galaxy of species, they the federation chose chaos in a leadership. This show was doa in my eyes. Micheal is a man name. The writers destroyed any chance of logic.
I didn't have a problem with Rudy Huxtable, Michael Burnham doesn't bother me either.
'way back'
figuratively the correct amount
This series was awesome from start to finish. I'm gonna miss it...
Is that sarcasm?
@@codymonster7481 You think people with different opinions than you are being sarcastic? I bet you're fun at parties with just you and your anime pillow girlfriend.😁👍🏿
@@pyroblast3000 Nah, the only one that think of anime anything are the same betas that like this show. Anime is just a poser term for cartoons. Grow up.
Thankfully I never knew this series existed and never saw a single episode.
I envy you!
It's ait. Some good moments. Too few for a 5 year show. And OMG Michael is master of overacting. Everytime i see her, itbpulls me out of the meager story. Picard season 3 much better
Episode was disappointing
are you a fan of disco or are you a troll?
@@bigfootwalker5399 Neither, the episode was just awful
Love how they mentioned using the spore drive damages the space the mushrooms are in and they still continue to use it. I dont think they mentioned a workaround.
Genocide!!!! Free spores!!! From the warp to the hyperspace!!!!
No thanks
Thank God this embarrassment is finally is over!
I have no idea what he just said
I usually love Star Trek and I really wanted to like this series. So much so that I stuck with it for several seasons hoping it would gel in some way and finally make sense. But that time never came.
There are so many reasons it didn’t work (in my opinion) that it would take forever to list them all.
Just for my own need to express my bewilderment at the writing and have a bit of a cathartic moment, here are a few:
The spore drive. Discovery was first set near the TOS time period. It just felt like the writers were desperate to jam in some kind of new, ultra advanced technology for a wow factor and cool special effects. But it was so out of place. The Federation having such technology should have rendered warp drives obsolete then and there. I’m sure some off-handed, cursory explanation was given for why only Discovery had it and the Federation never did more with it. I’ve probably forgotten what that was. Either way, it felt like a forced, wild reach that didn’t make sense.
The Discovery crew’s arrival in the distant future. A 1,000 year jump into the future? What a bold and amazing opportunity for some mind-warping possibilities and storylines! Of course, I should have realized there is no way the show could live up to that opportunity. How is it that a ship and its crew can be thrown 1,000 years into the future and almost immediately be able to not only function in that time, but to understand everything and become the go-to experts for the Federation? The changes in technology and society as a whole should have been almost impossible to grasp for them. Even just the changes that happened in the centuries before The Burn. The writers could have at least given us a period where the Discovery crew struggles to understand and make their way in a baffling new universe. Instead, they pick up and carry on without missing a beat. Becoming the trusty heroes who always save the day for a universe of beings that have centuries of knowledge over them. It would be like if an ancient sailing vessel and its crew from 1024 suddenly arrived today off the coast of the U.S. and within a year were the most trusted and utilized asset of the Navy. In reality the crew would likely be in a panic at the sight of a nuclear aircraft carrier, airplane, or even a dishwasher. “Witchcraft!”
I guess The Burn was supposed to be some plot device for diminishing the universe at large, but it was still too easy for them to assimilate.
Speaking of The Burn. That brings me to the next point.
The Burn.
It was actually a fascinating idea that could have led to some very interesting plot developments. Who caused the burn? Was it caused by a terrifying random aspect of the universe? Was it a malicious act by a new, incredibly powerful and terrifying new foe?
No. It was caused by the screams of a big Man-Baby.
What the actual F.
Also. Feelings.
So many feelings.
I get that relationship and personal situations are useful for character development. But this show spent so much scene time on deep heart to heart discussions and introspection that it became distracting and annoying. They’d be building up to a big climax then have to put everything on hold for feelings time.
And despite the constant flow of feelings, I never feel like the other characters, besides Michael Burnham, really got a chance to develop. That was always a strong suit of Star Trek. You really grew to care about the supporting crew. Saru, Reno, and Tilly were standout characters. But the rest were mostly wallpaper.
And could the other members of the crew have had the answers sometimes, instead of it always being Burnham? I did like her character, but it did get tiresome that she always solved everything, herself.
Once again, just a few of my bigger issues with this show. There were many more but honestly, looking back, the breakneck pace of the show makes most of the series blend together.
I guess it only makes sense that they ended this convoluted and disappointing series by marooning Discovery and its sentient AI for no apparent (or explained) reason!
I feel better now.
They released the tardigrade and that’s why they couldn’t advance the spore drive. It only flew with Stamits. But I guess they fixed that problem some time in the future.
I got to the 1st or 2nd episode of S2 and was done. Bsck to DS9
@@GrandmasterFerglol, what's funny is DS9 deals with emotions and feelings in such a better way than disco could. And for as "stagnant" as I've heard it described as because it's all on one space station, there are real character developments, whereas the only characters who ACTUALLY have growth on disco were saru and gorgeo. Burnham does grow for fuckall, just does whatever she feels like. As much as I liked the show and Burnham there were obviously poor writing on a few fronts
This series was such an experiment with how NOT do to sci-fi that I couldn’t not watch it all lol. Every single episode was:
“We’re in trouble! We need to do ABC123 right now or we all die horribly and/or the galaxy will turn into a giant fart bubble!”
“Oh no, not a giant fart bubble! Ok well, no one has ever done ABC123 before. I don’t even know if it’s technically possible. The physics alone say it’s not. And besides, ABC123 would require at least a month of retrofits in dry dock, and materials that won’t exist for another 700 years…”
“You’ve got 90 seconds.”
“Oh so that all? Because I finished building and testing it in the time it took you to say I have 90 seconds.”
“What… how?”
“Simple Michael, half of this crew is gay. And nothing this gay can possibly fail.”
Didn’t realise anyone cared.
It's not real Star Trek, that's why
My expectations are that they go back to orinal time
Discovery will be missed.
No
I don't think anyone cares.
The whole season was the quest to get the tech that they knew was very powerful the whole time but then just destroying the tech at the end. That would like buying a really expensive vehicle then just taking it to the junk yard to be crushed. Might have made more sense if the Federation plan was to just stopping anyone from getting the tech in the first place.
It's what happens when writers write themselves into a corner.
The primary objective was to prevent the tech from falling into the hands of an adversary. Using the tech was a secondary objective.
@@MyLibertyTV Yes, it also reminded me a bit of Contact with the transit system being built billions of years ago allowing different species to travel through it.
WTF this show is still on!!!
It was so great.
Trash show. And I write this as a gay man from a ethnic minority background. I used to watch Star Trek for optimistic escapism… to escape the bullies. Now it feels like it’s written by the bullies. The producers genuinely don’t care or understand - it’s TRASH
@@atillathehungry3145Genuine question, how does STD seek to *replace* TOS? You don't gotta watch it and it's not as if CBS is digitally editing TOS and removing the original cuts from streaming services (like the theatrical release of Star Wars New Hope).
Written by bullies? How did this show promote bullying? This series was as escapist as any Star Trek series. Most science fiction anymore are so Dystopian not Utopian like all the Star Treks. I'm of 2 minds about this as I wonder if portraying the future optimistically may make us complacent. But I do prefer the Utopian visions!
@j.t.frompa5508 this show was just caricatures of what competent gay and minority roles are. You're a gay who is a scientist; you're a gay who can do medicine; you can speak to animals, but your also the magical black man!
Come on. everyone was special, meaning nobody was.
Between the ginger girl being nothing near someone having a rigorous physical training, show runner trying to push the non binary bs and those ridiculous constant fire poof everywhere on the bridge each small impact Im not sure if this was a comedy. The Orville was better😂. Sad cause season one had potential
Loved 1&2. And the flames shooting STRAIGHT DOWN every time 😂
Hmm The PROJENATORS.
ARE 1 OF MANY. AND NO STORY ON
THE Q
Would of been a Good Episode
It’s was crap simple as that
Nah,c rap is useful, you can turn it into fertilizer. This show can only become toxic land-fill.
@@codymonster7481😂
La serie bien los guionistas pésimo, una pena que en las ultimas dos temporadas salgan con la tontería del lenguaje , Solo hay dos géneros.
a lot of things didn't make sense. For starters, why did they leave the ship by itself for hundreds of years. Why would you leave your fully operational "tech" to be found by whomever? The other questions. The Progenitor said on TNG "life evolved on our world before any other" Now that was a lie? WTF?????
Retcon machine goes BRRRRRRRRTT.
The show is called STD...for that kind of reason.
This is not Star Trek. It's boring.
But look at the cool new transporters!🙄
Sounds like they ripped off mass effect
Legitimately curious, in what ways would you compare StD to any of the four ME games (or movies or comics)?
Cancel Anthony Rabb for lying
Cancel this show for existing.
If watching this show was a boxing match, the referee would have stopped it in the middle of the first season.
Yet you continued watching 😂😂
@@TawaniAnyangwe I live in hope.
I love this show but the last season wasn’t good. The writing was off. Maybe they didn’t bother to make it good because it got cancelled? I don’t know. But the other seasons were so much better. And why did Michael stop acting like a Vulcan when she travelled to the future?
You actually thought the other seasons were good? You don't need much then.
This whole season was totally disappointing
See, that’s what I don’t understand . . . Why is the ship, who is sentient, going to be left in deep space to be “discovered” by who or what? That seems cruel for the ship.
All episodes of the last session : lets search for the progenitor
Last eps :
Supposed to be Progenitor : hi
Burn Ham : you are the progenitor..!
Sup. : hmmm...yeah...about that....err...no.
Anyway, still about the last eps :
Peaceful burn ham, fighting Mol burn ham, making peace with Mol...etc etc.
Terrible
What a sh show Star Trek has become. Except for the original series, STN, and anything not Whoopi in it. I'm done with it. The hypocrisy and hate that condemn a certain ethnic group of humans is appalling.
A bunch of foolishness
DEI-Trek
Yea... Even that non binary nin sense, they tried to push it with that ridiculous betazoid tech or whatever
The ONLY good things to come out of Disco were SNW and Section 31, lets hope Starfleet Academy get the 32c right!
So its all shite.
What is that?!! A black Star Trek?!! Horrible…
Why does Burnam whisper all the time. How absurd. Speak up !! Good grief.
I really don’t like “Let’s fly” - it should be “Engage” as a standard
Each captain has their own. Lets fly is a stretch doh
Engage was Picard's...not the standard...🙄
Trash

I see why some people hated Star Trek Discover", because the lead actors are Black.
Same hateful people that hated Black people in Star Wars. Well to bad, I love the show.
"Book" is "Kool", loved by women all over the galaxy and cat lovers. Michaels "Kool" love her and the rest of the crew. Can't wait for season 6. One question, Is Bill Gates in the future because we all hate him ? "LOVE THE SHOW"
❤❤❤❤
the captain who abandons the ship
What a pride as a female captain.
And the ship is sentient!
Women have no accountability, even the feminazis that made this show didn't recognize they were taing a piss on themselves.
