Definitely a fabulous ending, but the tie-in with Calypso only made me more curious about what all that is about. Maybe there’s potential for a follow-up show now that the 4th millennium has been thoroughly established.

Why are they all clothed so strangely?

Genuinely one of the best Star Trek shows imo. The camaraderie, science, techno-babble, mix of half-episodic-half-serialised plots, novelty, philosophical themes and depth of characterisation combine to make something truly worthwhile to watch. I hated Discovery before season 3, but ever since that, it was on a very steep ascent in quality! I still don’t like that it’s always galaxy-ending threats and that Burnham is so entitled, but no Trek is perfect :)

As I understood it, it was actually the scientists that put the portal there.

Oh man, the ending for Ep. 9 was just insanely cool! It saddens me so much that the show is almost over :(

Right, especially season 4 and season 5 were (are) phenomenal! Genuinely, without any irony or sarcasm, I must say that imo, the last 15 or so episodes of Discovery are some of the best Trek ever made

Edit: spelling

What exactly makes you think that? Strange New Worlds has very little action, and is loved by fans as far as I can tell. Yes, it has “personal drama”, but Star Trek always had that and it’s not a bad thing.

Also using LiftOff and am very happy. Using lemmy.world and other popular instances became very unresponsive over the browser (Android Firefox) with the new 1 July influx of redditors, so I decided to switch to this app.
