Star Trek: Discovery
Warning : SPOILERS for Star Trek : Discovery Season 5 , Episode 7 - " Erigah "
Summary
The progenitor ' engineering inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 could potentially raise at least 5 dissimilar characters by the remnant of the serial . Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green ) and the USS Discovery gang have been survey clue to obtain the Progenitors ' treasure before the deplorable team of Moll ( Eve Harlow ) and L’ak ( Elias Toufexis ) , who would give the technology over to the Breen . InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , instalment 7 , " Erigah " , written by M. Raven Metzner and direct by Jon Dudkowski , Moll and L’ak derive to a dead endthe Breen Imperium faction led by Primarch Ruhn ( Tony Nappo ) arrive at Federation Headquarters , demanding L’ak ’s return .
With the Breen terror loom , Commander Paul Stamets ( Anthony Rapp ) doubles down on work with the USS Discovery team to analyzeBetazoid scientist Marina Derex ’s clue and get the hoarded wealth hunt club ’s final clue to get hold the Progenitors ' technology . In addition to creating all humanoid life in theStar Trekgalaxy and rewrite the DNA of existing life forms , the Progenitors ' technology is believe to have the power to resurrect the dead . With that sort of power on the tabular array inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , and given how bringing back the dead has been repeatedly mentioned , it ’s almost certain that the progenitor ' engineering will be used to bring someone back to life . Here are the most potential candidate .
lineament are always dying and coming back to life on Star Trek . Here are 10 characters whose death did n’t last .
5Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green)
Burnham’s Death Would Invoke Two Star Trek Tropes
Star Trek : Discoverycould restate a comparatively recentStar Trektrope if the series is sheer enough tokill off and immediately resurrect its lead character , Captain Michael Burnham , before the end ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5.Star Trek : Picardseason 1 , episode 10 , " Et in Arcadia Ego , Part 2 , " see the end of Admiral Jean - Luc Picard ’s ( Patrick Stewart ) life sentence and also Picard ’s resurrection in a new synthetic body . Star Trek Into Darknesskilled Captain James T. Kirk ( Chris Pine ) in a pivotal view that was intentionally evocative of Mr. Spock ’s ( Leonard Nimoy ) end inStar Trek II : The Wrath of Khan , only to bring Kirk back before the final stage of the celluloid .
In the Prime Universe , Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) actually stayed dead after dying inStar Trek : Generations , butStar Trek : Picardshowed that Kirk ’s body is prevent in storage in Daystrom Station in the twenty-fifth hundred .
Echoing anotherStar Trektrope , Michael Burnham ’s dying and immediate resurrection as a result of the Progenitors ' technology inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 would alsomake Michael just like Spock , her adopted brother . Star Trek : Discovery’sProgenitors ' technology is like to the Genesis DeviceinStar Trek II : The Wrath of Khan , and Spock ’s resurrection began the instant that Spock ’s body landed on the Genesis major planet , right when energies from the Genesis equipment were still actively creating new life .
Captain Philippa Georgiou ( Michelle Yeoh ) die in the serial premiere ofStar Trek : Discovery , so if Michael Burnham dies in the series finale , thenStar Trek : Discoverywill both begin and end with the death of a Captain .
4Cleveland Booker (David Ajala)
Death & Resurrection Could Complete Book’s Redemption Arc
If Cleveland Booker is resurrected with the Progenitors ' engineering science , it would n’t be the first time that sufficiently advanced alien technology has saved Book ’s life . InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 4 , episode 13 , " amount Home " , Michael Burnham believe Book was lost when Book ’s ship crashed into the hyperfield surrounding the homeworld of Species 10 - C , who created the Dark Matter Anomaly that accidentally destroyed Book ’s homeworld , Kwejian . Species 10 - C had really intercept Book ’s transporter signal , however , and saved Book ’s life despite Book ’s vengeful quest to hunt down and destroy Species 10 - C.
Book ’s buyback electric discharge may culminate in his decease ( perhaps in the contour of a expansive sacrifice and Michael resurrecting him .
Although Cleveland Booker is realise self-colored strides to ransom himself inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 after being indicted for using an illegal isolytic artillery against Species 10 - speed of light , Book ’s ratter behaviour inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 4 caused an emotional rift betweenStar Trekpower brace Michael Burnham and Bookthat still has n’t fully healed . Book and Burnham are capable to work together on the USS Discovery , but both are holding each other at sleeve ’s length , as though afraid to allow in they still have feelings for each other . Book ’s redemption arc may culminate in his end ( perhaps in the form of a expansive sacrifice ? ) and Michael resurrect him . Burnham and Book may realise that they ca n’t know without each other , and get back together .
3Commander Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp)
Coming Back From Death Gives Stamets Something In Common With Culber

While Paul doubtlessly supports Hugh ’s spiritual journeying , Stamets does n’t really understand it on a intuitive level .
The closest matter Paul Stamets has to spirituality is a deep connexion to the mycelial net .
Paul Stamets ' death and revival meeting inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 would flip the script , with Culber being the one to upraise Stamets this metre .

Starfleet is n’t developing Stamets ' spore drivein the 32nd century , so Paul is going through his own personal crisis inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 . Desperate for a young function , Stamets throws himself into decoding the clue in the search for the progenitor ' engineering science . Spending time on the other side could help Paul discover what purpose really means , and truly read Hugh ’s unearthly experiences , and bring Stamets and Culber even nearer to understanding one another .
2Ambassador Saru (Doug Jones) or President T’Rina (Tara Rosling)
Death Would Put A Real Damper On Saru & T’Rina’s Wedding
The death of either Ambassador Saru ( Doug Jones ) or President T’Rina ( Tara Rosling ) of Ni’Var would be heartbreaking but could lead up to an excited last - mo resurrection beforeSaru and T’Rina ’s nuptials . After a sluggish - construction romance , T’Rina propose to Saru inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , episode 1 , " Red Directive " , setting the level for theirStar Trekwedding before the close ofDiscovery ’s final time of year .

Saru ’s decision to revive T’Rina would sustain , once and for all , that making love is stronger than any political machination and give Saru a solid resolution in a season that Saru has largely been absent from .
Saru ’s demise could put T’Rina in a difficult place that would make a greatStar Trekstory , with ethical interrogation at bet . InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , installment 7 , " Erigah " , the Federation council debates whether to keep Moll in hands and potentially start a war with the Breen , or let Moll to go with the Breen , who will almost certainly pour down Moll . Looking at one thousand thousand of likely deaths , or one certain death , T’Rina argues for the latter , establishing T’Rina ’s logical position . If the Progenitors ' technology could only be used either to revive Saru or bring life to a whole major planet , could T’Rina make the same call ?
Discovery season 5 premieres with fresh chapters for old love stories , along with a few newfangled one , impart some levity to a usually heavy Star Trek .
1L’ak (Elias Toufexis)
L’ak Is An Obvious Choice For Resurrection, But Is It Likely?

The catch is that Captain Burnham and the USS Discovery squad presently have the lead in break the Progenitor engineering science , so whether Moll would even be allow to practice the Progenitors ' engineering to institute L’ak back is an honourable question thatStar Trek : Discoverymay have to answer by the series ' closing .
