Star Trek: Discovery will air its last season in early 2024, and that is a notion that stirs up a variety of emotions. Whereas I am wanting to see the ultimate chapter of the Trek sequence, I have not been in a position to shake the sensation that the sequence’ vibe is about to vary. That feeling is even stronger now, because of the newest little bit of footage from Season 5, which options Michael Burnham (performed by Sonequa Martin-Inexperienced). Total, it is easy to get the impression that the upcoming episodes shall be far more action-heavy than any which have come earlier than.
The most recent have a look at Season 5, which debuted amid San Diego Comedian-Con 2023, options Burnham scorching on the heels of some smugglers, who’re attempting to flee with a helpful merchandise. Simply when it looks like the villains have made an escape, the Discovery captain does the unthinkable. Watch Burnham journey the highest of the ship in a warp bubble and try and disable the baddies’ engines with an help from some Starfleet allies:
That sequence is arguably probably the most superhero-esque feat a Starfleet captain has ever tried, and it is completely unbelievable. Michael Burnham is somebody who typically places her life on the road to finish a mission, so this is not precisely a wild departure from her characterization. Nonetheless, I will say that there is extra motion on this sequence than I’ve seen in whole earlier episodes of Discovery. And apparently sufficient as of late, all indicators have been pointing to the sequence placing extra emphasis on main actions sequences.
The primary picture of Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 that was launched featured Burnham using away from a sandstorm on a hover bike. After that, a trailer was launched at NYCC Comedian-Con 2022, which was additionally very action-heavy. For people who do not keep in mind, test it out beneath:
It is price mentioning that the season’s plot revolves across the Enterprise crew racing in opposition to different factions to acquire a mysterious energy. And with that thrilling premise in thoughts, I can imagine that this season will transfer at a sooner tempo and have quite a few motion sequences. Part of me is extraordinarily excited for that, however there’s one other half that worries in regards to the last season being too huge of a departure from the earlier 4.
When CinemaBlend spoke to Doug Jones about Discovery Season 5’s journey, we particularly picked his mind in regards to the quantity of motion showcased within the trailer. The actor indicated that it would simply be a case of the promotional content material prioritizing the action-heavy bits. Jones went on to say that whereas there’s motion this time round, a variety of the emotional moments between characters and different signature components of the present are nonetheless current.
I utterly imagine Doug Jones, however I am nonetheless curious to see simply how a lot motion is on show when the brand new season arrives. The sequence in all probability will not undergo from having a faster-paced story, however there nonetheless may very well be some issues from followers, particularly when you think about that narrative plans for this send-off season vastly modified over time. The excellent news is that the present was granted additional time and episodes to movie a correct conclusion. So whatever the motion vibes one might or might not get from Season 5, there ought to be loads of storytelling actual property that may hopefully set the desk for a satisfying conclusion.
