You know, I disagree. I think this season is genuinely significantly worse than both of the previous ones. No season has been perfect, but the past two had episodes I’d still rank close to some of Trek’s best. Memento Mori, Ad Astra per Aspera, Under the Cloak of War, all really great. I don’t know what happened this season, but none of these episodes come close to those. And a couple, like this finale, are just terrible.
