To be fair , Season 5 is one of the better seasons of Star Trek Discovery. Most of the episodes in this season have their thrills and interesting plotlines. However, it falls part in the final episode. I rolled my eyes so much they almost came out of mysockets.. There must be so much pressure to conclude a storyline that might have progressed into a season 6 and 7 . Visually its stunning - This season featured some of the best special effects of any Star Trek. However, the final episode feels kind of pointless and serves purely as a tribute to Michael Burnham - which in my opinion was never warranted. Although she has almost all the screen time, Burnham was never a compelling character and all the other characters end up muted and speak in cliche after cliche.
Although Season 5 was decent enough, I can see why they finished this series early and I wonder how Discovery will be viewed in years to come.
