I like to throw in a Quote from tng: A single Data - and forgive me, Commander - is a curiosity. A wonder, even. But thousands of Datas - isn't that becoming... a race? And won't we be judged by how we treat that race? This is a starfleet captain that argues for an android. For a friend and fellow officer. Instead new trek gave us enslavment, misstreatment of sentient machines, as well as men being made looking stupid in comparision to women yet 30 to 40 years ago somehow shows managed to be more progressive, positive as well as advocating for protecting even the most unusual life. God this is such an insult to Gene Rodenberry and the many writers that made these shows something special.

Again Disco producers and writers underdeveloped a potentially great character who had I been there would’ve had an undercurrent story arc of Zora being the computer from that probe in S2 gaining sentience now gathering and learning what it means to be human adding that “data” and have the undercurrent analogy of never stop learning to better yourself. And having Zora be the one who chooses to go off on her own to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations , going boldly we’re no…one…has gone before

The show pretty much establishes that Burnham is perfect in every way, and anyone who questions her judgement is wrong, so of course Burnham wouldn't question the order to send Zora away ... Burnham was in charge, she made the decision, she was the one giving the order, and Burnham is never wrong. And, if Burnham was ever wrong, something would happen to prove that she was right all along, so there's no point in questioning Burnham. At least, that's my takeaway from the prairie pie that is STD.

Burnham tells Zora 'Craft" so when he shows up, it's pretty obvious that her mission was to save him. Therefore no reason she couldn't spore jump him to Alcor 4. Daniels shows up in the secretly only remaining time ship and tells her she completed the mission. She spore jumps back to the Grand Federation now once again headquartered on Earth in the 43rd century. That might happen... But instead, it's (nitpicking nerd accent) "Completely rrrridculous, it make no sense, is a stupid..."

Really, the situation they set up in the finale in no way matches Calypso. The impression we get is that the crew abandoned Discovery somewhere for some unknown reason mid mission due to a complication, and that her mission to remain at those coordinates had nothing to do with saving Craft. Not that Burnham flew her there to wait for Craft. How would they have known he needed to be saved if Daniels weren't still time traveling? And why a red directive for this one guy? Unless he had a destiny to save the galaxy or something. And what of Zora after that? Did Starfleet just leave her floating out there to go slowly insane/run out of power over the course of a Million years?

​@@ge2719 Pretty much, however, even if Zora was supposed to wait for this long for Craft to appear, there could be a reason behind it. Daniels being a temporal agent likely knows what will happen in the proceeding centuries, so its possible he deliberately sent Zora to the nebula so she can remain there 'isolated and protected'. After all, if she was in active service, there's a possibility she could be destroyed (and the ship did come very close to annihilation on numerous occasions). As for the ship being reverted to the 23rd century form... this admittedly makes no sense. It would have made more sense if they deposited the ship in the past and then had to wait at those coordinates for Craft to appear. Alternatively, it could be the ship was reverted to the original configuration to maybe disguise it better and alter its signature perhaps? If someone were to stumble upon it, its possible they wouldn't be able to tell its a Federation ship from 32nd century onward - its hull materials and overall design would be different than what ships in 32nd century and onward look like (for the most part), therefore, there might be less of a chance of someone taking an interest in it (what with the Burn resolved). To be fair, its a bit of a stretch... though I do think they could have done more to tie it to Calypso better if they had more time and worked at it a bit more.

I don't see how it isn't cruel of starfleet to abandon a sentient lifeform. Is that the message they were trying to send? That starfleet sucks?

Yes. In Voyager, the holographic doctor, who certainly had feelings, requested to be turned off when he wasn't needed.

The show never follows the continuity from the other Trek shows, and usually they don’t follow their own continuity that they were establish within the series. But the one time they really want to, they do it in the dumbest f@cking way possible!!! Way to go STD! Way to go! Your end of the show as you lived it.

It's such cringe that they literally didn't think that this would be a thing to the last episode, it's like making a birthday cake and realising that you forgot candles 3 minutes before the party starts.

The fourth wall is in shatters. It's clear the Short Trek was originally meant to be set around the timeframe of the latter seasons of Discovery, but then they changed the direction so much that it wouldn't fit. The name "V'draysh" was repeated in episode 3x02. Well, I guess at least we can say they connected the story in true Discovery fashion.

GODDAMN THAT SHOW WAS HORRIBLE! I’m just seeing the part again when she’s explaining things to Zora. There’s a pretentiousness like they are ending TNG and smelling their own farts. No, you are putting out a dumpster fire. Do you see people really genuinely asking redhead/robot face or sexy African/bad acting any questions at all conventional? They left for other projects and just came back to do those pretentious smile scenes. This show was an insult but people are way bowed down so I’m sure it has fans.

Yeah shes practically a human...lets leave her alone for a long time. In the age of constant travel and discovery we cant send a small group to check up on her. Damn these writers must have some sort of deep hatred of something underlying.

It makes sense once you realize that Kovic is actually Daniels. I believe that “Craft” is someone who is very important to the time line and Federation Time Agent Daniels needs Discovery & Zora to be there so he doesn’t die in space.

This is a remarkably cruel thing to do to any thing.

I'd be curious to see the writers asked why they thought this specific tie back sub-plot was a good idea. Something tells me they wouldn't give a genuine answer or we'd find out how messed up they are. There has been many morally questionable things throughout Nu Trek and Discovery.

This is a prequel because they wanted to show why women weren't allowed to captain starships ten years later.

I 1000% agree with you on this; no excuse for doing this to a sentient being

It's just par for the course for NuTrek. Starting from the very first season of Discovery we've seen our """"heroes"""" (people we are supposed to empathize with and root for): Booby-trap corpses (war crime under the Geneva Convention), commit mutiny to start a war and being rewarded for it, torture a tardigrade, plant a weapon of mass destruction on Q'onos and hand over the detonator to their puppet dictator so that she could keep control, the previously considered rogue and amoral Section 31 being recognized as an official Starfleet branch with its own starships and custom badges, we've seen them integrate Space Hitler into their crew and cry when she had to leave them (she's getting her own movie now!), we've seen them erase and rewrite history under a code of secrecy (which retroactively ruins a character like Spock by turning him into an amoral liar), on Picard we've seen the Federation refuse to aid on the Romulan evacuation and turn back its refugees, we've seen them commit android slavery and threaten genocide on them, we've seen characters assassinate unarmed opponents, eye-gouging, torture, and on and on it goes. What's a little psychological torture and abandonment of a sentient AI compared to what we've been seeing all along? Just another stripe on the tiger, from an utterly rotten, clueless franchise reboot, with warped morals and a lack of understanding of what makes Trek, Trek.

She stabs her best friends in the back: she betrays Captain Georgiou (her mentor and mother-figure), she betrays Saru (her captain and friend who left everything behind for Burnham's sake), and she betrays Stamets (her friend who left everything behind for her sake). Jean-Luc Picard and Doctor Beverly Crusher conspire to commit murder even as they acknowledge that it is wrong. Troi slyly ignores her patient, and laughs when her boyfriend says that her patient is crazy, making her the worst counsellor in Starfleet.

I agree with many of these and disagree with some, but in the case of Picard I would just like to point out that the fact that federation was corrupt at its core was a HUGE element of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Starfleet was constantly depicted as squabbling admirals terrified of whichever enemy of the moment they were facing off against, and willing to commit any number of atrocities to protect itself. The conflict between Picard actually having a moral compass and Starfleet beurocrats exerting power over the Enterprise was a constant element in The Next Generation, and was the impetus for the Ro Laren storyline and the Maquis situation. Like, the Federation have been corrupt from the start, that's sort of the point, that even in a supposedly utopian future there are still petty politicians. I think that the Federation refusing to aid Romulus is exactly what you would expect of them based on the events of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, the only people in Starfleet who were always willing to stick to their principles were people like Picard or Janeway.

@@JesseColton Hello, JesseColton. My KZread handle is Dandelion Down. I am an original trekkie from 1966. My Star Trek is TOS (including the first six movies). I cannot speak about TNG and DS9, because I have not seen enough of them. However, I can speak passionately about TOS, which I watched as an adolescent boy. In 1961, President Kennedy advised citizens of the USA to build fallout shelters for safety in the event of a nuclear war. For a few years, many ordinary citizens built fallout shelters on their property. This was The Cold War. It was frightening, and I had nightmares about it, especially after the extremely disturbing Cuban Missile Crisis. The genre of science fiction was influenced by the fear, as many writers wrote scary stories of nuclear holocaust. In this tense atmosphere, TOS arrived with a different message. Produced partly by veterans of WW2 (including Gene Roddenberry), the message was, “Wait. It doesn’t need to be this way. We can use our brains and our hearts to make a better world.” It is not surprising that the optimistic vision was embraced by trekkies during the Cold War. It is not surprising that the vision is still beloved by trekkies today. Even in TOS, there are selfish and short-sighted officers and officials, and there are episodes where the main characters exhibit flaws. However, the overall tone is very positive, and our heroes learn from their mistakes. I have often referred to New Trek (post-2005) as anti-Trek, because it is pessimistic, cynical, ugly, and dystopian. For anyone who might have been wondering why I love Old Trek and hate New Trek, those are my main reasons. Live long and prosper, Dandelion Down

The funny thing is you can still spot how this doesn't line up with the episode properly. How zora describes being abandoned, or the reason why there's a single ToS era shuttle. Either this doesn't really fix the plot hole, or Zora's gone insane and is making up stories.

Where nearly every comment here sees pain and loss and cruelty, I see hope. Zora is entirely unique, and Calypso makes it clear that she needed that time of self-evolution to become whole. At some point, she'll recall Craft's name on Burnham's lips and recognize that it is time for her to come out of isolation. There is no other logical conclusion to make.

yes that was absolutely ridiculous though I have to admit those 4 episodes of Short Treks on their own were the most watchable Nu Trek

That A.I. voice(with some minor reverberations added to it)would much like that of the rescue ships voice in the film event Horizon. A movie which also starred two actors who have starred STD. I was reminded of the similarity when the the Hispanic homosexual doctor(I forgot his name. I couldn't get past the third episode of season 1)said something to the effect of"that's what she does". I said to myself Oh, that the dude from Supernova. In regards to that film, the extended and alt. version is much darker and storyline and ending. Noice.

Glad this debacle of a show is over with.

they really put the franchise in a hole that is not going to recover for 1000 years ..

First. If you remember Zora's origins, she had collected information and knowledge throughout the galaxy for over 100,000 years, so 1,000 years, while long to a human is short for her. Second, the Federation seems to have disappeared or morphed into something altogether different, even from its existence in the 32rd century. Admittedly, i am an optimist. Perhaps as a Red Directive, Agent Daniels and Admiral Burnham saw into the future and realized that humanity would need Zora's knowledge and history and personality to relight the spirit and drive of the true Federation. That is certainly the theme similar to Issac Asimov's Foundation book series (at least the first 3 books). I'd like to see that in a new series...Star Trek Ressurection.

but she's trapped in a ship, she aged like all ship and it's bad for her, besides even for the sphere waiting in a 1000 years without doing completely nothing is unbearable

I know this isn't a popular opinion... But i like that they didn't forget about Calypso. When i first saw it i was like 'cool! Disco in future!' then i was thinking about it and remember hearing about Andromeda. How Roddenberry wanted it to be a star Trek series, but cbs wouldn't do it. Then we find out disco was going to the future! Maybe this will be the "Andromeda" we never got. It kinda was but not really. But now with them tying in Calypso like this... I'm hopeful for a true Star Trek version of Andromeda. I'm looking forward (hopefully) to seeing a Star Trek Calypso in the next couple years.

Zora deserves a better ending.

Sora has evolved in this 1000 years. In Season 4 she decided to serve the Federation/Starfleet. Sora and the Discovery are the only ship/AI capable of surviving for 1000 years without a crew. Sora can control the Discovery herself, carry out maintenance and... the Discovery after its dismantling (23rd century Version) is technologically completely uninteresting for pirates.

we cant have intelgiant at that think in ships....halo: you sure about that space travel is mad as hell dangerous

what season and episode was this ?

Ok so that’s why they “un-refitted” the Discovery. It’s the first actual follow through of continuity for the show.

HAL9000>Zora

This was an absolutely MISERABLE thing to do, and extremely inappropriate to do to a feeling, sentient being! Destroyed the ending for me. “Do it cuz I order you to…” is so pathetic!

I wish Zora had a better ending in Discovery but I'm not too mad because Calypso was delightful to watch, thoroughly enjoyed it.

so looking forward to know more in the Section 31 movie, and see younger version of Agent Daniels, perhaps.

You know she’s an artificial life form right? I’m not saying she’s not sentient but she can basically put her self into sleep mode you see it when burnum enters the bridge to brief her for her mission she takes a min to wake up

Lens Flare Incorporated. Reminding us that slavery has to be cool. No matter what "Measure of a Man" or "Quality of Life" had to say on the subject.

Her order was to wait for craft and she found craft orders complete

and yet she didn't even want to help him at first

It wasn’t 1000 years from that point in time. Discovery was still in the TOS time period when the short said 1000 years.

So how the Hell does Mikey Spock get back?

I haven't seen the Short Trek, so maybe it's explained, but with Zora being a sentient AI and being a computer, couldn't she just go into some kind of standby mode? Basically, hibernate for 1,000 years?

Weirdly enough it's implying zora is going on multiple missions every thousand years or so.

Emotions develop before sentience… ai will never “feel” emotions

please, please make a compilation of all FISTFIGHTS in disco and show a diagram how much % of screentime thee is each season!

I could barely make it through the final episode. Now that you have developed feelings Zora, we are going to dump you in deep space for a thousand years. Maybe some guy will come along, and he will dump you also. Red Directives, you know how it is..

At least they somewhat explained Calypso.

I see a spin-off. He returns with a new crew.

Aldis Hodge? What am I watching? I want to see this.

Omg they ended the show like that!?!?!? I'm done (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Ok, I'll bite what is Calypso?

What were they thinking when they wrote the original short trek. Or were they

Is this current older aged grown up version of Captain Micheal Burnnman played by actress who played her mother cause she sound more like her than actress who been playing her since S1 of STD?

But what I don’t get is that she had her orders so why at the end didn’t she leave the nebula and set course for starfleet / earth and see what they look like in 42nd centrury

They connect it but it still doesnt make sense, ZORA was told who or what to expect and was told to wait and some how she forgot and is like "I was told to wait", yeah for something called "Craft" loll. Its an attempt to get you to believe AI will love us all and we should dump it in a distant Galaxy loll.

The guy is thinking I want to get of star trek discovery as fast as possible I can't handle the back stories or the crying from.the ship anymore Let me go to the Starfleet museum where I can find the defiant a man's ship or the enterprise e If you did a backstory compilation it would be an hour

Michelle Paradise a producer and writer on Discovery is on record as saying Season 6 would have explained and extended the Calypso storyline if the show had not been cancelled. So it's not a case of just to tie in the Short Trek, it's a case of what could have been.

Classic excuse for shitty writting... "Well if we just got another season..."

Star Wars Acolyte perfect for your videos :).

Season 6 was supposed to tie Calypso short trek with STD

In that case, I think it might have been better for them to leave Calypso alone for the finale and instead petition Paramount for a special movie event that would tie into Calypso the way they had envisioned.

The tie into this was weird. Waited 1000 years for a random dude who just needed help getting home?

Everytime I tried to watch this show, I couldn't make it through a single episode. I've never experienced that when watching old trek. SNW had a few episodes in season 2 I couldn't sit through either.

There's episodes of classic Trek that are borderline unwatchably bad: Turnabout Intruder. Code of Honor. Up the Long Ladder. Threshold. The difference is, those were bad _episodes_, not entire bad seasons. Even the entire seasons of Trek shows that are widely regarded as being... "less than top form," like TOS S3 or TNG S1, still have episodes that are OK, and even ones that rise to the level of being good.

Sadly in the STD universe no one watched caprica or battlestar galactica, to see what happen to ai that didnt understand love correctly 😂

Ok

I never even watched the Short Treks. Are they any good?

No but there is an infamous one where at the end the female captain is being questioned about a guy who got killed by the little alien furballs and she said "He was an idiot" instead of responding properly like an adult she responded like a 17 year old school president LOL 😂😂😂😂

Short answer, no Long answer, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Honestly putting Zora and Discovery in isolation was a big waste, the ship was so useful one of a kind, the spore drive should have stayed and there would have been an ncc-1031-B plus in S5 E10 the federation expanded but it was the same kind of ships What a waste.

Its not 1000 years... Calypso takes place in the 33rd century... Season 5 of discovery starts in 3191, the time jump in the S5 finale is about 20 years... so 3211+ which is already in the 33rd century. So the events of calypso could occur at any time after the ship is dropped off really.

What was the point of of her staying alone

how do you remove a shop from canon...abandon it for ever till its found by the enemy that or some how have it show up in some other series

to all the peeps going OMG SO CRUEL THEY FORCED HER and so on... SHE HAD A CHOICE she could have refused the mission it was voluntary and she was told up front she would be alone for 1000 years she chose to carry out the mission so shut the hell up with all the whining and whinging Zora is immortal she is going to end up alone for longer periods than that during certain points in time and she can just shut down and set up automated routines to keep the ship in working order and have it wake her up every so many years or when it detects certain things.
