The fifth and final season will find Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send ...
Two things. The first is something that I posted a week or so ago to my Mastodon.
So I just had a realization.
My entire life I’ve known what’s going to happen in Star Trek. I started with TNG but by the time I was actually invested it was off the air and Enterprise was limping off screen itself.
Lower Decks is amazing and I love the characters. If one of them dies I’ll be upset and if the Cerritos is destroyed then I’ll be upset but its Starfleet. It’ll carry on.
Strange New Worlds is amazing and I love the characters. Most of them we know the trajectory of but some we don’t. If one of them dies then I’ll be upset but its Starfleet. It’ll carry on and with TOS specifically.
Discovery is amazing and I love the characters but it was a prequel. As with SNW, we know what’s going to happen so the threat didn’t feel as severe to me. It was the same as Lower Decks and SNW. If someone died I’d be upset but it was Starfleet. I’d carry on. I was upset at Culber but carried on. Upset with Ariam but carried on. Even when they went to the future things didn’t change much for me. Sure I didn’t know what was going to happen anymore but it didn’t seem to the click.
But this fucking [trailer] and the realization that this is the final season? I am actually scared and really uncomfortable now and I don’t quite know how to process this. Like I started to have a minor panic attack. I don’t think it was until this moment I realized the show is ending and I have no idea how it will…
The second is something I have been realizing about myself a lot lately and I’m not sure what it says about me. But I’m more concerned for the ship than I am for the crew. I don’t really know why. Like don’t get me wrong, I’ll be upset if someone dies, as I said in that toot, but I am going to be devastated if the ship is destroyed. I don’t know why. Every other hero ship has been either destroyed or battered and it stung but this would kill me. I keep staring at my Discovery model on my desk (I really need to eventually get that Refit model) and panicking. She’s my ship. Not my first. Won’t be my last. But she’s my ship.
