Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x10 "Life, Itself"

LoglineSeries Finale. Trapped inside a mysterious alien portal that defies familiar rules of time, space, and gravity, Captain Burnham must fight Moll – and the environment itself – in order to locate the Progenitors’ technology and secure it for the Federation. Meanwhile, Book puts himself in harm’s way to help Burnham...

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.

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 :)

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

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

DISCO S5 has been phenomenal

Two episodes to go. I'm gutted this is going to be the end, just as the show truly found its stride and grew the beard. Feels a lot like the end of Enterprise. Every season has been better than the last, and the earlier episodes were pretty good. I recently started rewatching S1 after getting an IRL friend into it and he's...

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.

Sorry but I’m frustrated with all these boomer pseudo-fans demanding that SNW not contradict some obscure details of TOS. It’s a massive constraint that would severely limit SNW to the extremely dated and boring storytelling of 60’s Star Trek as well as their archaic and narrow social picture back in the day, and I am very happy that the writers are resilient enough to explore new avenues for Star Trek. I much prefer SNW’s variants of the characters to anything that was produced in old Trek.
