Star Trek: Discovery
WARNING : This article contains pillager for Star Trek : Discovery ’s series finale " Life , Itself "
Summary
I agree with the decision that Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green ) nominate about the Progenitors ' engineering science inStar Trek : Discovery ’s serial finale . ThroughoutStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 ’s high - stake Salmon Portland Chase for the"greatest gem the galaxy has ever known",reminders that the primogenitor ' technology can uprise the drained imply that someone will be brought back to life-time beforeDiscovery ’s final scene . The best campaigner is Breen scion L’ak ( Elias Toufexis ) , as Moll ( Eve Harlow ) is hellbent on acquiring the Progenitor engineering to revive her beloved . Meanwhile , Cleveland Booker ( David Ajala ) acquires a cutting of Kwejian ’s sacred macrocosm root , suggest Book ’s domicile planet can be regenerate .
Captain Burnham using the Progenitors ' technology to revive L’ak or Kwejian would have resulted in a predictable , but satisfying conclusion , so it ’s interesting thatStar Trek : Discovery ’s series conclusion , compose by Kyle Jarrow and Michelle Paradise and directed by Olatunde Osunname , deal another route . Within the vena portae , Captain Burnham encounters a Progenitor ( Somkele Iyamah - Idhalama ) who is ready to make Burnham steward of the Progenitors ' engineering science . Michael is willing to avail Moll by resurrecting L’ak , but the Progenitor warns that if retrace , L’ak will be a different somebody . Instead , Michael Burnham is encouraged to see whatMichaelvalues , and use the Progenitors ' technology based on Burnham ’s own morals .

Captain Burnham’s Decision Reflects A Core Philosophy Of Star Trek
Star Trek: Discovery Has Always Been About Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations
Captain Burnham decides not to use the primogenitor ' engineering science at all , because , as she explains,“We already have infinite multifariousness in non-finite combination . “The Progenitors created the diverseness of species within theStar Trekuniverse as a gift to the coltsfoot , because they already celebrate the limited differences among their own mass . As steward of the progenitor ' technology , Burnham has the power to make spirit better , just as the Progenitors did , by sum up to or changing life in the galaxy . It ’s an enormous responsibility to be entrusted with single - handedly improving an imperfect realness , but Burnham has proven she can bear the exercising weight .
We strive to connect with one anotherbecauseof our variety , not in spitefulness of it .
ThroughStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , Captain Burnham reckon with the difficultness of responsibility , the weight of insecurity , and the mussy imperfection that could theoretically be rectified by using the Progenitors ' technology . The finish that Burnham come to is a pillar ofStar Trek ’s philosophical system : we strive to connect with one anotherbecauseof our diversity , not in spite of it . We make the world advantageously by learning , intellect , and truly celebrating our differences . That ’s been a tenet ofStar Trek : Discoveryfrom day one , soBurnham ’s decision to permit the primogenitor ' engineering go makes a fitting end forDiscovery , asStar Trek ’s most diverse show to date .
Star Trek: Discovery Completes Michael Burnham’s Character Arc Beautifully
Michael Burnham’s Journey Is About Self-Acceptance
With releasing the progenitor ' technology , Star Trek : Discoverycompletes Michael Burnham ’s character spark attractively . Burnham has been fighting like hell throughout the whole serial to prove herself worthy . Michael ’s upbringing on Vulcan teaches her that she ’s less , as a human , andBurnham ’s burnt reputation as a violent Starfleet mutineer inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 1 reinforces the electronegative image that Burnham internalize . Even after easily befriending roommate Sylvia Tilly ( Mary Wiseman ) , repairing fraught bond paper with Commander Saru ( Doug Jones ) and Spock ( Ethan Peck ) , or rehabilitating Emperor Philippa Georgiou ( Michelle Yeoh ) , Burnham still keeps agitate for acceptance . Even becomingCaptain of the USS Discoveryand saving the galaxy does n’t bring Burnham peacefulness .
Star Trek : Discoverydoes an amazing job of highlighting the drastic change in Michael Burnham inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , instalment 4 , " front the Strange " , when Captain Burnham confront off againstDiscoveryseason 1 ’s Specialist Burnham .
Star Trek : Discoveryseason 5 register Michael Burnham that the fight has always been internal , and peace stay elusive because of Burnham ’s desperation to test herself to others . Captain Burnham ’s bang-up revelation come inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , episode 8 , " Labyrinths " , when the clue craft by Betazoid scientist Marina Derex forces Michael to look within , and accept the reverence of unsuccessful person that ’s been holding Burnham back . An early adaptation of Burnham would have gladly used the Progenitors ' engineering to change the Galax urceolata and be hailed as a ransomed fighter , but afterDiscoveryseason 5 ’s trials push Burnham to do the hard work of ego - discovery , Burnham does n’t need others ' proof any longer .
Star Trek : Discovery ’s main character and grinder , Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green ) has had stack of standout episode .
Captain Burnham’s Decision Sets Up Star Trek: Discovery’s Epilogue
Admiral Burnham Changed Through Radical Acceptance
Captain Burnham ’s decision not to use the Progenitors ' engineering sets up Michael ’s time to come in the epilog ofStar Trek : Discovery ’s series finale . The true return for all Burnham ’s internal battles throughoutDiscoveryisn’t eclat or superpower , but the easiness of simple joy at the Burnham - Booker household on Sanctuary Four . A Red Directive charge looms , but Admiral Burnham is fully present in each moment : sleepily jest with Book ; joyfully hugging their grownup Logos , Captain Leto Burnham(Sawandi Wilson ) ; and state semisweet rue for the destiny await Zora ( Annabelle Wallis ) . Burnham ’s peace exists not because the Progenitors find Michael worthy , but because Burnham ’s internal substantiation is sufficient . animation , itself , is sufficient .
The Kwejian World Root is flourishing on Sanctuary Four , where Book plant the thinning from the Eternal Gallery & Archive .
Star Trek : Discoveryimproves overall whenDiscoveryfocuses on its strength as a hopeful , progressive show that embraces theStar Trekparadigm of innumerous diversity in infinite combination , instead of being burden with its worldly propinquity toStar Trek : The Original Series . Captain Burnham , too , eschews the world that Burnham alone could create with the progenitor ' technology , and or else radically accepts reality for what it actually is . There is beauty in diversity . There is strength in satin flower with oneself . There is atonement in the journey . Star Trek : Discoverygoes out knowing what it is on a fundamental level , and I could n’t have asked for a estimable ending .
