I was also a bit concerned by the appearance of what looks like an ancient, alien Rubik’s cube slowly aligning during the course of the trailer-please tell me this isn’t some “Westworld”-style puzzle needed to save the galaxy. Yes, there can (and should) be danger too, but as a spice to the adventure, not a main course. Something in keeping with the ship and series’ name. How exciting it would be to see them chart new adventures into parts unknown… exploration for its own sake, rather than immediate survival. As I said earlier, I love the characters (and actors) in this show. We then see the crew toasting each other, with last season’s departees Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Adira (Blu del Barrio) returning to active duty, hopefully to stay. Adira (Blu del Barrio), Culber (Wilson Cruz), Stamets (Anthony Rapp), Tilly (Mary Wiseman) & Burnham toast a new voyage. Some may like those puzzle pieces, but I prefer self-contained stories. As a friend of mine noted, DSC isn’t telling stories so much as presenting weekly pieces to an apocalyptic puzzle. Those annual armageddons are officially tiresome now. At the very least, I hope for something more in keeping with Star Trek’s traditionally optimistic spirit of adventure and exploration, not another universe-ending apocalypse. Or perhaps merely a singular thread within an episodic format. Kovich” ( played by equally enigmatic film director David Cronenberg) offering a battered Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin Green) a mission seeking “the greatest treasure in the known galaxy,” which suggests an Indiana Jones-style quest… and most likely another seasonal arc. Kovich (David Cronenberg) assigns Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin Green) to go on a search for galactic treasure. To clarify, I don’t dislike DSC, and I want the series to succeed, but it hasn’t been easy at times.ĭSC’s trailer for season 5 is brief ( 53 seconds), and it gives little indication of whether DSC will continue with seasonal arcs or embrace standalone storytelling. But the show’s struggled with its stubborn insistence on drawn-out, arc-based storytelling a trend with Star Trek that seems to be running its course, as newer Trek series have returned to standalone stories, with only minor arcs throughout ( “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, “Prodigy”, “Lower Decks,” ). I love the show’s characters and actors, as well as the cinematic look and feel of the show. I’ve had a complicated relationship with DSC.
