The show started mired in the past and has now journeyed to the far future where its characters peddle a brand of optimism that’s sorely needed. I’ll be bummed to see the show go.
As with previous seasons it will air exclusively on Paramount Plus, and the first two episodes will air back to back. As for the plot of the final voyage of this ship and crew? It will involve taking on an “ancient power”.
The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well…dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.
Start guessing on which ancient evil will cameo in the comments.
