discovery 05x04 proves that tv shows CAN and SHOULD do filler episodes even in short seasons. the plot moved nowhere but the characters did and that's what it's about!!! and about stopping for a minute and being weird!!! now can everyone else do it please
I hope Rayner buys Reno that Vesper martini he owes her from the alt timeline. And probably make her go "sir, you know I'm a lesbian, right?" xD. But then they bond over being salty bitches. Reno can teach him how to be a better functioning salty bitch that isn't disliked by everyone.
My favorite thing about the end of Discovery is the thematic conclusion. The show has always been about trying to be better than you actually are, and I think an ending where they decide that they're not going to remake life in the universe and just build on what they have instead works. That might be reading into it a little more than intended, but it's the best take I have.
I'm going to need some time to process that last episode of Star Trek Discovery, but is anyone else feeling a little cheated at Saru and T'Rina's wedding? We got 2 minutes of their reception (not even the ceremony?) and the lens flare was so bad I couldn't even see anything.
I like that rayner is an alien from a single random ds9 episode actually. and that they're giving us cultural references and showing how far these guys have come, that they're still here, that they're not forgotten. there are so many planets out there and star trek has shown so much but it often gets lost among all the usual vulcans and bajorans and what have you, so it's great to see that kind of old reference every now and then!!
I'm so exited about new season and... Soong-type android in Discovery? next to Paul and Hugh, seriously am I in star trek heaven now?? I could only dream about it. I hope soo much to see Fred again (and secretly hope they'll reanimate him yep)
Also Paul's doubts about *his own* legacy break my heart. Really, my dear? You have already created A LOT and still on your way. Can't wait for new episodes!
