Thank God. This would have been 2 straight hours of mind-numbing dialogue between characters about how much they’ve been through together and how much they’re going to miss each other.
Fathers please hug your sons so they don’t grow up to leave lemmy comments like this.
Did you see the photo attached to the story? It pretty much validates Archangel’s comment.
It ended nicely but too quickly. I wouldn’t mind a special.
I think they were well into shooting the season when the cancellation came down no? They didn’t have much time to turn the season finale into a series finale.
They had no time at all - filming was already complete.
They were given a short amount of time (3 days IIRC) to film the epilogue, and by then most of the sets had been dismantled.
That’s a shame. Not that I’m into Discovery at all, but the best series finales are always double-episodes. I quite literally just watched DS9’s finale earlier today, and it would’ve felt way too rushed if it had just been a regular episode.

I think you’re right:
TNG: 2-parter, check
DS9: 2-parter, check
VOY: 2-parter, check
ENT: 1-shot, check
DISCO: 1-shot, check
I think the word “movie” is a little misleading, but it makes sense that they would have wanted to do a full 2-hour “event” episode.
Yeah. There were some things that were really sweet about that coda but it sure didn’t make for a coherent and satisfying end to the series that kick-started the modern era of Star Trek television.
Good. It was already three seasons too long.
