Logline

Series 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.

Those red leaved trees are known to produce a lot of sap. Watch out as it can stick to you.

Anyway, I expected more of a "Be careful what you wish for" resolution with L'ak, but they just told Mol what would happen instead of actually doing it / creating a copy with no memories. I was disappointed with that.

I'm also kind of disappointed that Vulcans are so often seen kissing instead of doing the finger thing.

I wonder if they cut down the Moll resolution a bit to make room for the series wrap up. It did feel a bit abrupt.

It would have been interesting to see Walking Dead L'ak, but it was also kind of nice to see Moll accept the situation and start to trust Burnham.
