Look. I have enjoyed the last season. But the show has never escaped its fatal flaw of being in its own way. The finale of season 4 was great Trek, and this season has been good.

But it took how many months of retooling to give us the last season? And I appreciate finding a stride and having the show cancelled (as someone who will defend ENT constantly for this I’ll hear it all) but this isn’t the same case. They tried so many ways to make DIS work and it has hit and missed in different ways, but tying it to one story over the course of a whole season and making that the glue, and not allowing for other characters to be established, is still there. I still have no idea who the majority of the bridge crew are, and I feel there are characters that are overused and others that are criminally underused (can we just get a Reno spinoff please?)

This is a swan song, but personally I’m glad it gets to end on a high note. But let’s see it for what it has been.

New stories and new experiences! Thank yall for doing this :)

He has the most dialogue in the entire show.

Alexander gets one page and it’s actually just a perfume ad that’s removable.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct!!

And yet there are no statues of Kissinger on Bajor?!

The Wesley is grounded.

Polarity and shit

That’s The most important man in Starfleet.

Futurama is 30% Star Trek references, 50% real overcomplicated maths and language jokes, and 20% msg.

They tried storing the rocks in blue barrels once, and you saw where that got us.

It’s just… every time now. Why is it every time now?

Striking and the French. Such an iconic duo.

“And we couldn’t not release a full priced game we knew had serious graphic and playability issues!”

No, I think it’s Voyager memeing.
