I doubt it's going to end on a cliffhanger.
Discovery final scene speculation
- Thread starter TimeIsAPredator
- Start date
All of a sudden I'm thinking about the Daniel Day Lewis "I Drink Your Milkshake" scene from There Will Be Blood.
Given how despised and maligned the final episode of Enterprise is, it's hard to imagine them doing a "it was all just a holodeck program" or "it was all just a dream" type ending for Discovery. Though considering how divisive the series is among Trek fans some might welcome it.
Final scene:
Michael Burnham goes to sleep. Then cut to what is just a field of white (possibly a dream...no):
Familiar Male Voice: "Michael Burnham..."
Michael Burnham: "Wait...You sound like... Benjamin Sisko? (She tears up...)
- Fade to Black...credits roll...
Oh, the final episode name:
Tears For The Prophets

Ooooh I don't mind that one
Odds on she will whisper the final monologue....
Hey if it's good enough for other actors like Matthew Mcconaughey who practically whispered and mumbled through the whole of Interstellar it's good enough for me ha ha
It was almost a given that every time a scene was delivered like that on star trek you would put the volume up on your TV there would be a follow up loud explosion and you would jump out your seat
I don't think they'll do that but I do see them relegating the last 3 seasons to alternate universe status, like the Kelvin movies, to not tie up the 25th century storytelling.
The Federation finally catch up with them and kill them all. Except for Avon, surrounded by troopers, standing over the body of Blake. He smiles, fade to black, sound of gunfire.
Yes that was grimm. No happy ending there hey?
31st Century tech Zora gets a body then dances fade to credits
I think Season 5 doesn't deal with "Calypso". Not because "that ship has sailed!" (although the effect is the same) but because leaving Discovery abandoned for 1,000 years takes Discovery into the 42nd Century. The season's storyline seems to take place in the 32nd Century, SFA seems to take place in the 32nd Century, and I think they'd want Discovery to at least make one guest-appearance at some point. There's no way they won't have at least one Tilly/Burnham Reunion Episode in SFA.
"Calypso" just doesn't fit. Nevermind that it's the Discovery and not the Discovery-A. It just seems incompatible overall, unless it's in a parallel timeline, and Season 5's story doesn't look like a "parallel timelines!" type of story. It looks like a "we're on a quest!" type of story.
If they deal with "Calypso" it'll be in a mini-series or TV Movie. My take anyway.
I think the last scene is a shot of Discovery jumping to its next adventure, with log by Burnham about the journey they've been through.

This would actually be perfect, the ship spore jumps to one final adventure with a captains log playing before the credits
Calypso happened before the rebuilding of the Federation.
It's also possible it was a parallel timeline.
But Zora can still dance

But will she have nice legs?
Just like Chateau Picard.
Admiral Cornwell wakes up with a sudden start. Prime Lorca steps out of the shower room dressed in a robe.
Cornwell: I just had the strangest dream...
