or a turbolift?

So you're saying it's Star Trek?
I live about a half hour from Coloma so it made me smile.
Season 4:

Nah they date back Ruk tossing redshirts down them,Come on, bottomless chasms are a time honored Starfleet tradition since Riker kicked the Reman Viceroy into one on Enterprise E's deck 29. Obviously Starfleet engineers are huge fans of Star Wars architecture.
I assume the Viridian. Tough break, that.
Good question. I guess he doesn't count.
I though all the consoles were upgraded to 32nd Century specs but look the same for "comfort".
Not sure you understand what a plot is.
I thought the same when I saw TMP back in '79.
She doesn't have to be from a Federation world to join Starfleet.
Turbolifts seem to be moving just fine. Just don't fall off.

Dreadful. Utterly dreadful.
for the first time, I actively despise this show.

The best part of the episode, and something I heartily approve of, is that they got past the will she/won't she stage with this flirtation of Burnham with captainhood. A traditional Trek show with a traditional crew structure should have the CO be the main character.
There were other good things about the episode, but all of the action sequences were CRINGE. Actually, most of the episode was cringe, and the pacing was wonky.

Not just a fleet, but a fleet and a starbase.
Both of which were trying to destroy it.
Remember how that went back in the days of DS9? The station could literally one shot starships.
Why do they need dilithium driven warp cores at all if they can expand the internal space of starships that much?
After all, Warp Cores are only useful because of a combination of fuel efficiency and generator size.
This is the part that I am ready to walk away from the show with.
I don't usually comment, but since it's the 3rd season finale it seems like an appropriate time.
DIscovery, overall, is pretty good.
That said, there are problems, all of which have been discussed here until the cows come home, and I'm still waiting for that.
The barn door is open.
Here, cows! Here, cows! We have a nice bit of hay for you if you just come home! Here, cows!
Discovery has suffered from lack of direction for 3 seasons. The premise is good, the cast is good, they just need to decide where they're going and stick with it. I think they've decided what they want to do by the end of this season, and that's a good thing. Let them run with it.
This was a good end for the season, and the arc. We'll see what happens next.

They managed to stick a landing in a season that was an incoherent and inconsistent mess.
A few observations:
A few observations:
- Captain Burnham. At long last! I've been waiting for this moment for three years. This makes the season almost worthwhile.
- I greatly enjoyed the character work with Saru and Su'kal. Both actors did an amazing job. As well as the moments where Gray was made manifest and could be seen.
- Chosen family as a theme, especially when it comes to the queer relationships in the show. And this resonates with me a lot. While I'm lucky that my birth family is a part of my life and accepting of my queerness, I know that my other LGBTQ friends aren't. I'm doubly lucky to also have a chosen family.
- The cause of the Burn still doesn't make sense. I found myself glazing over with all the tech-the-tech double talk to handwave it. But hopefully with the cause out of the way, the show can get go on adventures exploring the 32nd Century.
- Also the turbolift funhouse is just ridiculous. Where in the name of sanity does it fit within the ship?
Hmm. I'm torn on this finale. Parts of it I quite liked. Saru, the wrap up to the Burn (silly and implausible, yes, but at least it wasn't an attack and it worked thematically fine), Book's action hero one liner after he wins the fight in the turbolift. Other parts I thought were extremely weak. Osyraa's end in particular. It wasn't bad, but it didn't move me, excite me, or even make me feel satisfied. So, in that sense I suppose it failed.
This felt a LOT like a series finale. I'll be curious what they do if they bring the show back for a fourth season. I do like the new uniforms a lot better than the blue ones. And I like that Stamets is still angry with Michael. Hopefully that gets mined some more and has lasting effects.
Random Treknobabble quibble: what is the point of the separated warp nacelles if they reattach to the ship every time it goes to warp or spore jumps? Why not just leave them attached? Doesn't it take WAY more power to keep them near the ship magnetically than it would to just, you know, have them bolted on? It makes for a potentially neat visual, but if it doesn't actually serve some purpose then it's just silly.

It’s not an ‘if’ they started filing season 4 in November.
What exactly was Osyraa planing to do with the pestisde. She mentioned shrapnel was the plan really to cause shrapnel ?
She said to target shuttles bays and exhaust vents. So she wanted to kill the crew with it.
They detach because "wow future"
Why not just space them faster then ?
And what was the shrapnel taking out ships comment about ?
I assume for the same purpose as Book's ship has detachable parts. To bob, weave and dodge.
Cool, I'd not heard that. I look forward to seeing where they try to take this show next. It's slowly finding it's groove, on the whole. Even if I wasn't the biggest fan of this finale.
