I totally called Kovich being a time traveler, but them folding him into Daniels was a neat surprise, and felt like a naturally revelation. “Oh, of course he’s bloody Daniels.” It expanded both characters without diminishing their mystery at all.
Knowing that Calypso was meant to be the whole focus of season 6 is a hard blow, though. We’ll likely never get that story now. I’m glad they were able to at least tie it firmly back to the show, but man, it would have been fun to see how it played out. Why does Kovich need this Craft, and why does it require the ship to be de-refitted? Maybe now that the show is done they’ll give it a proper continuation in novel form. One can only hope.
LoglineSeries Finale. Trapped inside a mysterious alien portal that defies familiar rules of time, space, and gravity, Captain Burnham must fight Moll – and the environment itself – in order to locate the Progenitors’ technology and secure it for the Federation. Meanwhile, Book puts himself in harm’s way to help Burnham...
The contemplative and slower tone of the coda really highlighted what was lost in switching to shorter seasons with a long serialized arc to babysit. Imagine if we had those arcs but with a handful of bottle episodes peppered throughout.
I don’t think Reno was referencing The Littles, as she referred to the treasure hunt as sounding like something out of a holonovel “for the littles”. Unless there’s something specific in Peterson’s stories relating directly to this, I’m pretty sure it was just a cutesy way of saying “for little kids”.
Thanks for making these posts every week. I come here after every episode to see what references I missed.
LoglineWith Moll and L’ak finally in custody, the Federation is pulled into a diplomatic and ethical firestorm when the Breen arrive and demand they be handed over. Meanwhile, a frustrated Book looks for ways to help as Tilly, Adira, and Reno work to decipher the latest clue....
I really think they just overplayed their hand, and he really did overdose by accident - or because he thought it was the only way for Moll to get away. I don’t believe either of them are basing a strategem on the Progenitor tech actually being able to resurrect him, but Moll is desperate now, so she’s willing to believe it might work because it’s the only hope she has left.
It’s definitely a a nice nod to the character. If bar patrons 600 years later still get the reference, that speaks well of her lasting influence on the Federation.
I wonder if they ginned these up for Section 31 or Starfleet Academy (if that’s still a thing?) and figured they could use them here, similar to the First Contact uniforms being ported over to DS9.
This is an excellent distillation of what makes Tilly great. Imho she’s the best written character across the board in any Trek of the past two decades. I missed her sorely in season 4.
LoglineOn the way to the next clue, the U.S.S. Discovery is sabotaged by a mysterious weapon, leaving Captain Burnham, Rayner, and Stamets as the only crew members who can possibly save the ship in time....
Also, what is dragging him along with Burnham and Rayner, while the consciousnesses of everyone else are presumably unaware of the jumps? Come to think of it what’s the point of the Time Bug if nobody involved is usually aware of it? Is the jumping just a side effect of the ship being “frozen” in time?
In that episode.more time had passed, and Zora never mentions the crew by name, so the crew she was waiting for to return might have been replacements who never arrived.

So we learn at the end that Sisko’s birth was engineered by the Prophets, right? That he was always destined to be the Emissary because that’s how it had to be, from the nonlinear perspective of the Prophets....
Man, this really takes me back. I played this game endlessly as a kid. It was the first game I remember having a save file option, which was revolutionary to me, because before that when I was in the middle of a game I just had to pause and turn the TV off and hope my parents or siblings didn’t hit the on/off button on the NES console. That music is still burned into my mind three decades later.
Somehow I never realized until about a year ago that it spawned a long-running series under the name Dragon Quest (now up to eleven games) that still continues to this day.
It blew my mind recently when I found out that not only did it have sequels, but that sequels are still being made. I even subscribed to Nintendo Power and somehow missed all of them.
