Star Trek: Discovery Made 2018’s Short Trek’s “Calypso” Its Real Ending
Discovery’s final mission leads to “Calypso”
Star Trek : Discovery ’s final , shocking twist in its serial finale was to ensure that the USS Discovery spore jumps toward its destiny , which isStar Trek : Short Treks ' " Calypso”,making " Calypso"Star Trek : Discovery ’s veridical finish . In the 33rd century , Admiral Michael Burnham command the USS Discovery on its terminal , Red Directive delegation . Burnham tells Zora when they reach their ultimate goal , she and the work party will leave Discovery . Zora ’s commission is only to wait for"Craft" . Afterward , Discovery can come home to the United Federation of Planets .
Zora waits or so a thousand years for Craft , meaning theStar Trek : Discoveryfinale ’s thirty-third hundred starting point sets Star Trek : Short Treks ' " Calypso " to encounter sometime around the 43rd century .
Star Trek : Discovery ’s startle to the 32nd century ab initio made it doubtful thatStar Trek : Short Treks ' " Calypso"was canon . InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 3 , the USS Discovery was refitted with 32nd - century applied science , programmable matter , detached nacelle , and rechristened the USS Discovery - A. But " Calypso " , which was produced beforeStar Trek : Discoveryseason 2 , showed the USS Discovery in its original 23rd - century design . This gave credence to the " Calypso bulbosa " is an alternate timeline theory . But then , Zora was also introduced inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 3 , and " Calypso " became a lingering enigma audiences take on the serial would simply ignore as a remnant of previous or abandoned originative plan .
Why Star Trek: Discovery Had To Make “Calypso” Its Canon Ending
Discovery addressed its biggest mystery
" Calypso " was one of the most striking , redolent , and memorable episodes ofStar Trek : Short Treks , but why didStar Trek : Discoveryultimately reason by set up its events ? According toStar Trek : Discoveryshowrunner Michelle Paradise , Star Trekexecutive producer Alex Kurtzman wantedDiscoveryto answer the " Calypso " enquiry . HadStar Trek : Discoveryseason 6happened , " fairy-slipper " would have been its end game . But when Paramount+ set season 5 asStar Trek : Discovery ’s final season and allowed the dramatis personae and crew to take a finale to enclose up the series , it was decided thatStar Trek : Discovery ’s season 6 ’s programme to lead into " Calypso bulbosa " would be the conclusion of the coda and the series itself .
Star Trek : Discovery synching up to " Calypso bulbosa " bring the saga full circle .
Star Trek : Short Treksweren’t as wide consider asStar Trek : Discoveryso many rooter may have been put off about where the USS Discovery was going and why at the very end of the serial . However , Star Trek : Short Treksis streaming on Paramount+ , andStar Trek : Discoverysynching up to " Calypso"brings the saga full circle . As such , the ending for the USS Discovery and Zora is a tragical one , where the compassionate A.I. will have to hold off hundreds of eld for the fugitive experience of beloved and loss with Craft . It ’s just a shame thatStar Trek : Discoveryseason 6 did n’t happen , which could have fully built up exactly why Zora is destined to meet Craft inStar Trek : Short Treks ' " Calypso bulbosa " .
