There is no spoiler protection in the episode discussion threads, and spoiler tags are not necessary!
Incredible season and exceptional finale, and awesome acting from everyone!
Those who are snubbing STA are truly missing something.
My only little disappointment is not seeing Discovery blipping first right as the blockade is lifted, at least a few seconds or a minute before all other ships warping in. I understand why they didn’t and how it would have stolen the show, but still, I can only imagine Burnham and Action Saru teleporting right next to Nus Braka to arrest him only a second after Discovery arrives… and to find out there is another heavy lot of history as well between the three! I’d just love a one-episode team up of the Athena with Discovery and its crew in season 2 or 3 !!
I had the same thought - let the first responders be the first responders!
Hopefully we’ll see Stamets or someone show up as a guest lecturer at some point.
