Star Trek: Discovery 3.3 Review - Ups And Downs From People Of Earth

2. Final Scene - UP

Star Trek Discovery Tree
CBS

The very last scene of the episode shows most of the main support crew visiting Earth, running through Golden Gate Park. It is a fun and light scene (described by one of the team as 'Tree Hugging Hippies') but it a moment of pure joy for these people - these same people who have been through so much trauma in their lives.

What is particularly pleasant is that Bryce, Rhys and Nilsson all get a chance to speak - even if it is just a line or two. Discovery relied perhaps a little too heavily on Michael Burnham and Saru in the first two seasons, and the third season looks to be making a deliberate move away from this. It is a welcome change - something that bodes very well for the remainder of the season!
