Here’s a controversial opinion for y’all: The season of Discovery with the broken remnants of the Federation examining how and if to bring back the Federation is the best season of Trek ever made, to date.

When you put it that way, yeah. That would have been interesting to watch. It wasn’t really my experience of where the season’s focus lay, though.

It’s not my favorite but it’s up there. I think the premise of all the dithium exploding and seeing “the far future that feels less future” that the OP described was actually really cool to me. The previous season where Burnham has the magic flying angel rocket suit was pretty stupid and made it feel like there were no stakes.

  Premise was great, buildup was okay, outcome and resolution were awful.

    I liked the big reveal, but I can see how it wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
    
    Partial Spoiler
    Normally when Trek is going to do a Trelane or Q story, it’s introduced early in the story. This was a weird left turn at the end, and leaves us wondering if any plotline later will also do so. I didn’t mind it in this season, because the season was so focused on about values and tradition, so I wasn’t expecting a hard scifi conclusion. Realizing they were ‘doing a Doctor Who’, wasn’t too shocking to me. But as much as I thought it fit here, it’s a weird way to resolve a Trek season, and I hope we don’t get that approach often.

I’ll give you points for controversial. I actually liked that season a good bit, but that is a pretty bold statement.

  Yeah. Maybe too bold…I’m reconsidering my stance after some points were made about later seasons of DS9. Later DS9 seasons were fantastic.

    Late ds9 is my absolute favorite so clearly you are an individual of profound taste.
