Set phasers to spoilers. Read no further if you haven't watched the latest episode of "Star Trek: Discovery."
The cramped quarters of the USS Discovery bridge have felt oddly spacious lately, haven't they? As "Star Trek: Discovery" swoops in for a landing with its fifth and final season drawing to a definitive close, viewers may have noticed that several side characters remain missing in action. Essential crew members such as Lieutenant Commanders Detmer (Emily Coutts) and Owosekun (Oyin Oladejo) haven't been seen since episode 4's "Face the Strange," whisked away on a mission to pilot the mirror-universe starship Iss Enterprise to safe harbor. For a series that has drawn so much emotional bandwidth out of its supporting cast over the years, watching Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) deliver orders and offer encouragement to stand-in officers we've never met before can't help but feel ... off.
Yet even more glaringly, the heart...

When Paramount+ brought Trek back to television in September 2017 with Star Trek: Discovery's double-decker premiere event, it broke ground on a road that would see the rebirth of the Trek franchise.
Six years later, Star Trek: Discovery has saved the galaxy multiple times; traveled through the mycelial network, to the Mirror Universe and back, forward in time nine hundred years, and beyond the edge of the known universe; and spawned the highly successful spin-off Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
In March, Paramount+ announced the fifth season will be the USS Discovery's final mission. We've gathered all the intel on what it'll entail, who's on board, and when you can expect to buckle up and hold on as Michael Burnham and her crew let 'er fly one last time.
What can we expect from the Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 plot?

During the pandemic, one thing has become clear: the need for play is great and can’t be denied. The nerds of yesteryear who played Dungeons & Dragons, grokked Spock, and looked for ways to express their geekiness, have found themselves in this time, reaching out and finding their people online to resort to playing a game they all knew well and loved

Star Trek: Discovery season 3 reaches its eighth episode this Thursday, and it promises to dive deeper into what makes Book tick. David Ajala debuted as Cleveland “Book” Booker this year, serving as the first ally that Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) made after arriving 1000 years in the future.
In this week’s episode, Burnham and the Discovery crew will travel to his homeworld in order to rescue it from the powerful crime syndicate, the Emerald Chain, and you can get a flavor for what’s in store from the promo images down below. As well as showcasing Burnham and Book on his planet, many of the Discovery crew are also given the spotlight, including Captain Saru (Doug Jones), Ensign Tilly (Mary Wiseman), Lt. Keyla Detmer (Emily Coutts), Lt. Joann Owosekun (Oyin Oladejo), Lt. Nisson (Sara Mitich) and Lt. Bryce (Ronnie Rowe). Not to mention Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) and Dr. Hugh Culber...

Book is back in these new promo photos for this week’s episode of Star Trek: Discovery. David Ajala debuted in the season 3 premiere as Cleveland “Book” Booker, a charming rogue who quickly made an impression on fans. After last being seen in episode 3, he’s back in this Thursday’s outing titled “Scavengers,” which sees Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Phillipa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) coming to his rescue.
The episode will also follow on from last week’s storyline which saw the Discovery crew making contact with the Starfleet of the 32nd century, as led by Admiral Vance (Oded Fehr). This plot will continue in “Scavengers,” as Captain Saru (Doug Jones) and the gang have to pick up the pieces when Burnham and Georgiou leave on their rogue mission. Meanwhile, Stamets forms an unexpected bond with newcomer Adira (Blu del Barrio).

The U.S.S. Discovery crew are on a mission to bring the Federation back to its glory days, but to do that they need to convince the Federation that they’re their best hope.
Star Trek: Discovery season 3 has seen Cmmdr. Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and company thrown into the 32nd century where Starfleet is not what it once was. And in this week’s new episode, the gang will journey to Federation HQ to make their case.
Some new promo images for 3×05 “Die Trying” see the likes of Captain Saru (Doug Jones), Tilly (Mary Wiseman), Lt. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), Lt. Keyla Detmer (Emily Coutts) and engineer Jett Reno (Tig Notaro) ogling the super shiny future headquarters of the interplanetary organization. But they have a tough challenge ahead of them, as the contemporary Federation doesn’t think much of these relics of the past.

Star Trek: Discovery season 3 has kept Sonequa Martin-Green’s Michael Burnham apart from the rest of the Discovery crew across its first two episodes, with the premiere exploring how Burnham adjusted to arriving in the 32nd century while the second followed Saru (Doug Jones) and the gang as they appeared in the far future one year later. In episode 3, “People of Earth,” they’ll finally find each other again and these new promo images tease a happy reunion.
The photos reveal Burnham back on board the U.S.S. Discovery, with the tearful Commander depicted hugging Keyla Detmer (Emily Coutts) and in a touching half-embrace with Tilly (Mary Wiseman), Stamets (Anthony Rapps) and Saru. She’s also shown conversing with the Kelpian while walking through the ship.
As the title suggests, this episode will see the crew decide to return to Earth in order to find out what happened to...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Star Trek: Discovery” Season 3, Episode 2, “Far From Home.”]
So apparently the final frontier of the 32nd Century is just… like the frontier of the Old West?
It sure felt that way in the relatively banal second episode, “Far From Home.” Whereas the Season 3 premiere of “Star Trek: Discovery” was expansive and eye-opening, this one relied on well-worn tropes. How funny that, when all was said and done, neither Saru (Doug Jones) nor Tilly (Mary Wiseman) really even asked much about what exactly brought about the relatively lawless environment they found themselves in. Sure, they discovered the Federation is “gone” from this sector of space, but to what avail?
Discovery landed on an icy world dotted with pockets of artificial atmosphere populated largely by Coridan miners. But when the big bad of the episode, Zareh, mentioned “The Burn,” they didn’t inquire as to exactly what the burn was or why...

Last week, Star Trek: Discovery kicked off its third season at long last, with the premiere following Sonequa Martin-Green’s Michael Burnham as she got used to the world of the 32nd century, after she and the U.S.S. Discovery crew came to the far future through a wormhole. The only thing is, though, they didn’t come together. The rest of the crew were absent in the opener, but this week they return. And these new photos from episode 2 tease Saru (Doug Jones) and the gang likewise reacting to life in a very different galaxy from the one they knew.
Aptly titled “Far From Home,” these promo images from episode 2 showcase Saru alongside Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), Tilly (Mary Wiseman), Keyla Detmer (Emily Coutts) and Lt. Owosekun (Oyin Oladejo). Not featured are the likes of Stamets and Culber (Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz), but they’ll be along for the ride as well.

Star Trek will be well-represented at this week’s Comic-Con@Home virtual event as all three contemporary Trek shows will be getting back-to-back panels this Thursday, July 23rd. And earlier today, CBS All Access released a short teaser trailer for what’s to come in these panels, which will be studded with stars from across the series.
The three panels to look forward to cover Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Picard (in that order). All three panels will be hosted by Deadline’s Dominic Patten. The Discovery panel will feature a virtual table read of the season 2 finale, “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2,” to remind us where we left the characters before we head into season 3. The Lower Decks panel, meanwhile, will debut an exclusive clip ahead of its premiere next month.
