Season 3 has been quite a rollercoaster ride with some big ups, and for a lot of fans, some big downs.
We were introduced to a world we didn't expect. Earth was peaceful, yet no longer part of the Federation, Vulcan is now called Ni'Var, ships have detatched nacelles (still haven't figured out why that's a benefit) and pretty much everything else has been rearranged politically. I'd say that the writers have avoided a lot of the expected clichés of a post-apocalyptic world, so in that regard, the show has arguably offered up something new and interesting. They also kept Saru as captain instead of having someone else fight for the role. And Georgiou taking the Discovery back to the 23rd century as many predicted? Nope. No explanation for "Calypso" just yet.
The second half on the other hand has delved deeper into space politics which all too often can lose people. With one episode left in the season, what can we expect? So far we have the crew of the Discovery trying to take back the ship, Osyraa proposing a merger with the Feds, a new source of dilithium and the revelation that a screaming child collapsed the galaxy and could do so again. But what's the twist that will lead us into season 4? What's the turn that will have everyone talking for the next year or so?
One last hour to go until we find out.
