lightofdayeWell Disco's back for it's fifth and final season. Spoilers under the cut.
Plenty of TNG references and fanservice here, a little to Picard by way of consequence. This time they are hunting down technology a Romulan found from the Progenitors from TNG's The Chase. It's got a nice treasure hunt vibe going on.
One of the bit characters is a Soong Type Android with Data style make up that was created after Picard's Synth ban was dropped, Alton Soong is name dropped and it feeds into Stamets' arc of wanting to be remembered for something. Apparently as consequence of the prototype and Tarka going missing at the end of last season the spore drive is no longer in development. (preserving Discovery's unique status at least)
Tilly's back in the cast, Saru seems to be leaving again. Though hopefully he's staying on the show.
Once again, they don't really get how chains of command with another Captain of much greater seniority than Michael becoming her first officer.
It does still tend a bit too much the characters emoting and shilling each other but it's been reasonably good fun so far. Not too much to say though.

Ten episodes! Oh geez, I missed that part. I wonder if it's similar to British shows that ten to have shorter seasons? No clue.
