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 survive and Rayner leads the U.S.S. Discovery in an epic winner-takes-all battle against Breen forces.

Discovery has always been a mixed bag for me.

I was fine with their changes to the Klingons, but disliked the emphasis of action.

I liked Pike and Spock (an Strange new Worlds), bit disliked the final battle with a million ships/drones.

I liked the jump into the future, but disliked the reason and resolution of the Burn.

I liked the threat of the DMA and its consequences, but the interpersonal relationships of the crew lost their appeal to me.

Season 5 was one of the weakest for me.

The Breen and the new XO two positives for me.

The crew, the Progenitor Tech and the search for it were all boring for me. Especially the established characters are more annoying than interesting to me.

Mol and L'ak ruined the season for me, more specifically Mol. A cross between a tantrum-having toddler and rebellious teenager, she added nothing to the plot. Her random connection to Book was blatantly manufactured and added nothing.

I actively had to stop myself from skipping scenes with her. I was close to just stop watching this season, since the rest wasn't too compelling either. I really dislike when antagonist keep sticking around, because the heroes try saving them (from themselves). It's okay to let a horrible person bleed to death, Michael.

I'm glad it's over. It could have been better, but also worse. I think this season showed it was a good decision to end it now.
