   Finally watching the Star Trek: Discovery finale. I wish I could say I enjoyed it, but I honestly felt like it gave in to the series' worst instincts: unearned sentimentality over genuine emotion, kinetic confusion over story — and nothing, absolutely nothing, left to subtext.

     So far it's ended at least three times.

     @evan Actually, that was the one vice of theirs they decided to go easy on this time out.

     @robcottingham It would be fun to do some mashups showing Burnham giving inspirational speeches to the Spanish study group in Community, and Jeff Winger giving speeches to the Klingons in Discovery.

     @evan YES. And throw in those monologues from Grey's Anatomy. (I'd love to see the bridge crew deeply moved and inspired by Erica's "You are glasses" speech.)
