E3 The overarching plot is a callback to a TNG ep ‘The Chase’ s6e20 which a rewatched a few days ago. It’s about the Progenitors, and ancient race that created all humanoid life. Like all of it. Some scientists discover their tech which is way beyond anything the ST frontier has ever seen and there’s a race to get it because - of course - it could be the ultimate weapon in the wrong hands. The scientists knew this and hid it behind a Da Vinci code of 5 artifacts that will assemble into something. Meanwhile Disco seems to tie up all the storylines neatly.
This ep focused on Adira & Gray, the biggest lgbtq woke leap ST has made. It’s a Trill tale - the symbiont species from DS9. It’s complicated but both actors are non-binary in real life, and the Trill metaphor served well to boldly spotlight trans issues. Their visibility was highly praised by the lgbtq community and I was happy for its inclusion, although the metaphor was agonizingly translucent. This ep gave their relationship closure, all under the guise of Michael & Booker retrieving the 2nd clue artifact from the Trill planet which was guarded by giant bug monsters that could cloak and shoot lightning barbs like photon torpedoes.
Reno appears and makes some fine Reno (Tig) quips. Saru continues his courtship of Vulcan president T’Rina, which isnt quite working for me.
This sounds bad but I kinda hope they kill some characters in this final season. it’s been a long time since there’s been a good ST death. Data was the last one in ST: Picard.
