Apparently the last season of DISCO is going to go deeper into the Progenitors from TNG's "The Chase". I guess that makes sense, so the show can lean hard into an ultimate lecture delivered by Burnham about our commonality and shared destiny in the final episode.
It's a shame that the show always struggled with its Trek identity - far too individual-saviour-driven for the franchise in earlier formations - but hey! It gave us Strange New Worlds. So that's something, at least.
Agreed. We're probably going to learn more about this future this season as the ship zips about following the treasure hunt, but it's too little too late when it comes to cultivating a sense of cultural complexity to this future cosmos.
@MLClark The Trek universe is held up by four elephants standing on the back of a giant Michael Burnham. Why is she smiling??? What does she knowww???
Oh, this made me laugh out loud, Jake. 😂 Thank you for that!
@MLClark
I understand the move to the future to get away from the closing gap between Disco and #TOS but IMO they created a boring future that really didn't interest me outside of the core characters.
I'm not excited about Academy either since it will be placed in this same time.
