Star Wars: Discovery end of weekthere is a plot, maybe it is true Discover style, combines some wild curveballs with an equally wild pace, giving us a plot rich with ups and downs. But it did save the weirdest moment for last: Even weirder, this might be Discoverthe next big story If it had gone into another season.
The final act of Life Itself, the hour-and-a-half finale Star Wars: Discovery, giving way to a flash-forward after the events of the rest of the finale have concluded (arguably hastily). Life is good with current Admiral Michael Burnham, an idyllic semi-retired life with husband Book, and a son who has just been promoted to captain Discoverof always be considered a hero.
