Sorry I'm late guys. I usually stay up late or wake up early to watch these programs, and have said that it would only take some sort of nonsensical attack on my country to draw my attention away from Star Trek for a bit.

Whelp, here we are:
* Yep. Gray exists. Something with spores, probably. I guess.
* I want all of Discovery to beam down and be some sort of crazy aliens.
* I'm not sure what Osyraa's plan here is. Discovery is a sitting duck.
* "An Alcorian sorrowhawk" - Yet another of the many, many Calypso references that people seem to think they aren't making.
* Those DOT-23s aren't very powerful. I guess that's one way of preventing them from becoming evil and taking over the ship.
* The HQ is going to pursue? Awesome.
* Yep, and here are the Ni'Varians. Good call, Burnham.
* Burnham just told Vance that she's the main character.
* Did Osyraa knock out Aurellio by choking him out? Or was there some sort of telepathic/empathic bond going on between them?
* Owo bringing that Luddite upbringing into usefulness. Great.
* "Sigma Ten?" C'mon Star Trek, fix your planet names already!
* Regulator combadges can get destroyed by a boot step. Pretty fragile stuff.
* "We can die here or have Lieutenant Ina die saving the ship."
* Oh, looks like Owo is going to sacrifice herself. Good idea, show. Sorry, Owo.
* Arrgh... climax in the turbo-turbolifts. Do not want. Stop doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on this.
* Save her DOT! Save Owo!
* The Viridian has swallowed up the Discovery. Probably not a good plan.
* Book is officially going to kill everyone who has ever insulted Queen Grudge.
* Not sure how that data core works. Neither does Osyraa, apparently.
* Everyone's alive! Even Lieutenant Ina! She will live forever!
* Even the Bo'sun is alive!
* Good call, Tilly. Give up command to somebody, anybody, at the first chance. Best command decision yet.
* Apparently Kwejian can just operate the spore drive. Okay. I think Aurellio has been reading this message board.
* Cause of the Burn was expected.
* Long, long ending monologue.
* Return of Sahil. Only a Lieutenant? I guess he doesn't have an education.
* Captain Burnham's first order of business: Let's change uniforms.
* "Let's fly." Yes. Let's
* Ends on a quote from Roddenberry. Nice, except that Roddenberry isn't really a known figure outside of Star Trek, and is really not a person to be emulated. But it was a good quote.
* TOS End Credits Theme.
* No Klingons. No Federation President. I guess we'll save those for next season, if ever.

* Also of note: Burnham beamed all the regulators off her ship, presumably to the Viridian, which was subsequently blown up. That was cold. She should've beamed them to the Brig (she had already killed Osyraa), and they could've been reformed or whatever. Many were probably just soldiers of Chain worlds, some may have even been slaves, but nope. All given a death sentence. Dying in a fiery inferno. Might as well have just beamed them into space.

See you next week! Wait... no. That's the second worst news to hit me this week.
 
This does open up the possibility that some Trill hosts' essences/ghosts continue to survive, possibly in the Mycelial network after their deaths. Gray wouldn't have manifested had there not been a sentient energy and consciousness there to occupy the holomatter.
 
Rumor has it Zareh is still falling down that chasm.

It's a pretty big cavern. Next season will feature a sub-plot called Zareh's Arduous Journey, which will feature Zareh's trek to escape the turboshaft, and the many friends and conflicts he meets along the way. Spoiler: He isn't the first villain or hero to get lost in Discovery's turbolift system. This will be a multi-episode arc, and likely continue over several seasons.

The Turbolift Funhouse is so spacious that every villain who has ever fallen into a bottomless pit in Star Trek will be found there, still falling. He'll meet Kruge, the Reman Viceroy, and even an inexplicably-alive if slightly sunburnt Mirror Lorca, who'll talk to him about the villainous civilization they've built throughout the years and will kindly ask him to share some news about the outside world, as is customary for new arrivals.
 
If this was the last episode to this series, I am glad that it ends on a positive not. If not, I am glad that Burnham's story arc is DONE. Now, we can move on to actual STAR TREK.
 
I see what you did there. ;)

Here's hoping the Movies/TNG Era makeup look returns for this century. If Worf appears in PIC he's already been said to appear the way he did in the TNG/DS9 Era and its films.
I think they're not going to show a Klingon in DSC again until one has made an appearance in PIC. Not including archival footage from "Sins of the Father" in "Remembrance".

SNIP!

No, kidding. DOCTOR WHO tech, indeed. I'm surprised that there aren't hidden city dwellers living in the guts of a typical Federation starship, like CHUDS, Mole Men, Underwear Gnomes, Hobbits or some equivalent "hidden species"...
 
Well...I’ll be damned. They finally stuck the landing on a season finale. Guess 3rd time really is the charm.

aside from some nitpicks...the turbolift stuff is garbage for example...I thought this was close to being the best of the season.

so glad Vance and Booker survived.

Looking forward to the Burnham/Stamets tension in S4.

on the whole, I think S3 is easily the best Disco season. Even if it didn’t have the same high bounce as TNG, ENT and DS9 all did for their Junior years. The biggest compliment I can give it, is that it made me want to come back for S4. I was ready to give up on the show if it was more of the same from S1-2 but I’m gonna be watching for sure.
 
I didn't get the impression Su'kal's ship was particularly special or irreplaceable in regards to holographic tech--I thought the assumption was that his ship was using the standard Federation holographic technology at the time, which was incredibly advanced. So why would there be angst about Gray not getting a new holographic body? Starfleet could just pull up the specs of the ship and use the same holo-emitters that ship used to give Gray a new body.
 
This is the first time a Trek series has had a genuinely satisfying season finale(not counting LD) since ENT Season 3. That's almost seventeen years.
 
It was good but not great.

I am surprised Book survived as the actor is supposedly not in the 4th season. But I guess he will be there in the first episode. More importantly Grudge survived and is really a cat.

I like the cause of the Burn. Better an accidental thing like this than some bad guy alien doing it.

I prefer Saru as Captain but it makes sense for the lead character of the show to be the Captain, so no problem there.

Now there will be a long wait for the next new Star Trek episode. We probably get Lower Decks first but I am not too crazy about that series. Discovery and Picard are probably a year away,

Dwarfs to keep my Lord of the Rings references going.:)

I maybe wrong but yeah, I think LD Season 2 is up next, then Disco S4, Then Picard S2. Dunno where Prodigy and SNW slot in.
