Star Trek: Discovery [SPOILERS]

 Well, it's over. What a finale! I'll lodge my complaints first.

• Discovery was far too short, and even so it's likely to end up with the most episodes of any of the current series. This is one of the reasons that this streaming era really sucks. There was no good reason that Discovery and Lower Decks couldn't have gotten seven seasons apiece.
• I don't think we needed that tie-in to "Calypso", especially since it raises more questions than it answers (why did they change the ship back to the original look? Why is Craft so important? Why is it worth leaving Zora all alone for 1,000 years?). It might have nice to see that story in Season 6, as the writers were apparently planning before it got canceled, but I would have preferred to spend the short time allotted wrapping up the other characters' stories. Something more than imaginary laughs and hugs.
• I would've liked to see Burnham use some of the godly powers offered her, even just a little bit. Oh well, I guess she did make the ethically correct choice.

Now the good things:

• Overall, that was a pretty good final episode and final season.
• Discovery was the first Star Trek series that I got to watch as it aired, so it's really special to me. I'm mad that we didn't get more of it, but I'm glad we got as much as we did.
• When people talk about Discovery they almost always mention the groundbreaking diversity of its cast. Star Trek's first black woman lead, first gay and trans characters (not counting Soren in "The Outcast" or Sulu in Beyond). Which, yes, that does deserve to be lauded, but also it should be normal, not worth mentioning. That level of diversity should be matched or even surpassed by every Star Trek show and in film & television in general.
• Agent Daniels! Wow!
• Burnham and Book got a satisfying ending, even though the others didn't. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Tilly's story in Starfleet Academy.
• I'm glad Moll survived and (sort of?) reconciled with Book.
• The visual effects were really cool.
• Saru was badass. Doug Jones does such a great job conveying emotion under all those prosthetics.
• One of the things in Star Trek that I'm kind of obsessed with is alien scripts. Season 5 gave us more Romulan writing and introduced the Betazoid and Breen scripts. That makes me really happy.

I'm gonna miss Discovery. I'm not optimistic about the future of Star Trek. Lower Decks is ending soon, Prodigy probably won't get a third season (and who knows when we'll actually get to see the second season?), so what are we left with? Strange New Worlds, which I like but not as much as the other shows, Starfleet Academy, which I'm looking forward to but I'm not super excited about, and...the Section 31 TV movie? I'm a little excited to see the young Rachel Garrett, but otherwise meh. And are we ever going to get another Star Trek movie in theaters? I don't care if it's called Legacy, I don't care whether Terry Matalas is the showrunner, but I would really like to have a show set in the 25th Century. And give us more of it, please, even if that means the budget has to be lower for some of the episodes.
