@MLClark To me, it was surprisingly sedate. The formula typically is to build up to a big battle at the end, but instead we got an hour of farewells and reflections.
I couldn't figure out what was going on with Burnham and the ship. It looked like they restored it to its original configuration so she could go off on a classified mission for Daniels?! What about her family?!
Maybe it ties into the upcoming "Section 31" movie with Michelle Yeoh.
