Star Trek: Discovery
monition : stop SPOILERS for Star Trek : Discovery ’s finale , " Life , Itself "
Summary
There ’s an contention to be made that the big kink from theStar Trek : Discoveryfinale were too"inside baseball game " and obscure to make the desire impact on the fooling looker . Written by Kyle Jarrow and Michelle Paradise , Discovery ’s finale , " Life , Itself " was both a sequel toStar Trek : The Next Generationseason 6 , episode 20 , " The Chase " and the culmination of five seasons deserving of adventures for Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green).Discovery ’s series finalebeing aTNGsequel was emblematic of the larger issues with the heavy revelations in the finis ’s closing scenes .
The first large divine revelation was thatDavid Cronenberg ’s Doctor Kovichwas an older Temporal Agent Daniels ( Matt Winston ) fromStar Trek : Enterprise . Daniels was n’t even a series unconstipated onEnterprise , so the divine revelation may have been too leftfield for some viewers , peculiarly those who never saw theStar Trekprequel series . However , the most obscure revealing inStar Trek : Discovery ’s last was the epilogue set in the 33rd century , which rig up an installment of the short - lived anthology seriesStar Trek : Short Treks .
Star Trek : enterprisingness ’s Dominic Keating is no fan of Star Trek : Discovery ’s spin that Doctor Kovich is really a character reference who see Captain Archer .
Discovery’s Kovich Twist Relied On A Star Trek Show That Ended Almost 20 Years Ago
Star Trek : Enterpriseended in 2005 , so it does seem odd for such a bigrevelation about aStar Trek : Discoverycharacter to rely so hard on a show that ended 19 years ago . It ’s even unusual devote thatTemporal Agent Daniels last appear inEnterprisein time of year 4 , sequence 2 , " Storm Front II " , which aired in October 2004 . While the majority ofDiscoveryviewers will eff about Daniels and the role he played in the Temporal Cold War , there will be a dowery of the audience that have n’t revisitedEnterprisefor years , or who never even watch it in the first place .

WhileScott BakulaandEnterpriseis getting a review , the show never tapped into the ethnical zeitgeist in the way thatStar Trek : The Next Generationdid . That ’s why theTNGreferences inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 palpate less jarring than Kovich ’s dead on target identity . Kovich being Daniels is a fun twist , and explains a lot about his enigmatic nature throughoutDiscovery . However , David Cronenberg delivering the line " Agent Daniels " means absolutely nothing to those viewers that have n’t dip intoEnterpriseon Paramount+ , nor is it an tempting tease for them to do so .
Star Trek: Discovery’s Epilogue Means Nothing If You’ve Not Seen Short Treks
WhileStar Trek : Discovery ’s Kovich reveal was ultimately a throwawayStar Trek : Enterprisereference , the finale ’s epilogue is a much freehanded issue . The decisiveness to dedicate such a substantial amount of screentime to setting upStar Trek : Short Treks ' " Calypso"madeStar Trek : Discovery ’s finale underwhelming . Short Trekswas a unawares - lived anthology serial of shorts that was n’t always easy to get at . And yet , because " fairy-slipper " depicted the USS Discovery abandoned in the far future , a modest section of fandom were determined that thisShort Trekmust be explain beforeDiscoveryended .
The original plan forStar Trek : Discoveryseason 6 was to tell the story of how Zora finish up abandoned in " Calypso " .
However , there is merit in leaving some mystery unsolved , especially as the substitute future inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , episode 4 , " Face the Strange " created a possible solution . Instead , Discoverydedicated almost 20 moment to Admiral Michael Burnham enter on the USS Discovery ’s final mission to abandon Zora ( Annabelle Wallis ) in the far reaches of blank space because " Calypso " dictated it . In doing so , theStar Trek : Discoveryepilogue placed sports fan inspection and repair over providing a satisfying stop for the show ’s hearing and mold .
