Ever-expanding and uncharted, the final frontier of space always has some way to challenge the resourceful and cunning minds of Starfleet.

About the ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season Four Finale
Anyone skeptical about “Star Trek: Discovery” venturing too far from the franchise’s roots must have been delighted about this season’s 12th episode. Nothing hits home quite like a crew attempting to open hailing frequencies with a brand new species. The 10-C is so incredibly alien that any conventional methods of communication are at a dead end.
Watching the crew of the Discovery ponder how to speak with them is wonderfully reminiscent of the Darmok episode from way back in the fifth season of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987).
With the finale airing Thursday, March 17th, there are still numerous questions up in the air. First and foremost is how the 10-C will react now that it knows its DMA is inciting terror on the residents of the Milky Way?
On a more personal note, Burnham and Book (David Ajala) are in a rough patch in their relationship, and Book’s determination to stop Tarka may impact whether things will work out for them. Tarka himself remains one of the season’s most interesting characters, particularly now that he plans to destroy the DMA power source and the hyperfield by proxy. As always, there’s also the lingering question of how the Discovery ended up empty and crewless in space as we saw in “Calypso.”
Besides Martin-Green and Ajala, “Star Trek: Discovery” stars Doug Jones (Commander Saru), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Commander Paul Stamets), Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber), Mary Wiseman (Sylvia Tilly), Blu Del Barrio (Adira), and Ian Alexander (Grey).
Director Olatunde Osunsanmi continues to impress with his knowledge of the “Star Trek” mythos as well as with his superb scene choreography. With everything lining up for an impactful concluding episode, this is one finale that you won’t want to miss. Stream it on Paramount+ Thursday, March 17 with a Get 30 Days Free of Paramount Plus.
