Where to Stream Star Trek

Today we embark on the final season of Discovery. I’m going make a simple request: whether you love it, hate it, or are ambivalent about it, it would make me so happy if everyone could just be cool. Online discussions about Discovery tend to devolve into circlejerks or two minute hates, and some see the latter in particular as justification to moderate the places where these discussions happen with a heavy hand.

I’m not interested in that kind of community. Online discussions are healthier when everyone is respectful and moderators only need to employ a light touch. So in the words of an ace pilot from another great sci-fi show: I am a friendly, okay? We're all friendlies. So, let's just... be friendly.

Pretty good episodes. I love that they brought Book back even though he was supposed to be in jail. He's too good of a character to leave in jail for too long. I'm sad that Mr Saru is leaving. I hope he guest stars a bit. I wish we got to see more of the bridge crew like Owo and Detmer because I love them and want to meet the new people.

Also this new McGuffin seems pretty neat. I always wanted to know more about the Progenitors.

Tying in the fun single episode adventure from "The Chase" and integrating the creation mystery as this season's plot is a great move. Hopefully, they've built it out enough to have a fulfilling conclusion (especially since the string of reshoots that occurred when it was announced that this would be their last go). With Kurtzman's involvement and his association with JJ's brand of McGuffin storytelling, I will certainly temper my expectations.
