I found it a little odd that Saru didn't say goodbye to his sister at the end, nor did she say anything to herself like "Good luck" or something like that.
As for the time crystal burning up, I took it as it was only if it was making a large jump to future without anchoring in the present. The other signals were merely a few weeks/months in the past with an anchor in the present. What I don't understand is how Michael left a signal several centuries in the future and it was seen in the past....that doesn't seem right. Unless I missed something.

it bothers me that none of the ships actually move in this gif although we've seen in close ups how enterprise moves in front of discovery many times or how the captains give all kind of movement patternsThat was some of the most gorgeous sci-fi I have ever seen.
fantastic finale, great sendoff for the enterprise and I am excited where Discovery will take us in season 3.
That never happened, Roddenberry just lied about it. NBC liked the idea of a strong female first officer, they didn't like Majel Barrett because they considered her to be a weak actress and because she was Roddenberry's mistress and they had no interest in having her in a major role because of that. He could have recast, the decision to eliminate the character entirely was Roddenberry's. He lied about a lot of things to make himself look better.
After a second viewing my only issue with it was the pronunciation of "temporal". Takes me right out of the scene lol
So S3 will be around 900 years from TOS. This then chronologically will be the latest series, correct?
Yes latest series by far and latest moment in Trek history. Daniels from Enterprise coming from a time closest to it.
Someone remind me what were shields like in TOS (or did we even see them?). I'm just trying to remember if we saw them as the bubble type this early.
Compare that to season 1's visuals. That Terran Empire mothership was like some bad '90s CD-ROM game.That was some of the most gorgeous sci-fi I have ever seen.

Like how Roddenberry secretly wrote lyrics for the Star Trek theme so he'd get royalties from it? The whole image the fans had built around him was like... yeah.
We never saw them really until TNG. I don't think we even saw shield effects in the TOS movies, though on screen displays seemed to imply the hull tight ones we've seen in Discovery.
Yes. It also means that to please some folk, we can never have anything set before this.
Loved the finale. Cinematography is exceptional in Discovery.
Can not wait to see what plot threads are explored in the, where are they going, 28th or 29th century. The possibilities are endless.

How about you just science more.....
Is it me or is this sequence, particularly the end bit, an homage to Revenge of the Sith's opening? Just the way that fighter crashes into the Enterprise at the end.
I'd reckon cats were exhausted by the end of this episode:
A lot of close up moments did remind me RoTS.

Did you read the BTS from the production crew? Sounds exhausting lolI'd reckon cats were exhausted by the end of this episode:

They showed the extent of the damage, it took out almost a quarter of the saucer section. In controlled demolitions, they use multiple small explosives not a single massive torpedo haphazardly lodged in a ship. The idea of Pike standing right outside the door basically unaffected outside of the glare of the explosion is dumb, especially considering the rest of the episode has everyone flying from wall to wall on every hit to the sheilds in typical Star Trek fashion.
It was a dumb death that could have been easily avoided in the show but they needed it for some dumb stakes for the finale.
Read my whole post and not just the small example i used, Regardless and explosion with that much open space would vent out and yeah a blast door would be designed to be highly resistant to oh, i don't know...explosions maybe?
Discovery has its issues but it seems like some of you go into these epsodes looking for ways to proclaim how bad Discovery is.
Explosions will always go through the path of least resistance. On one side you have a blast door and on the other a weakened exposed, probably not even shielded section of a ship inside a vacuum. I agree her death was dumb but the explosion wasn't.
I've seen dumber stuff and deaths on Star Trek than that stupid blast door scene. Whatever.
Oh, and I liked the finale. Almost loved it, if it weren't for the typical drama and maybe how convoluted the battle was
Pretty impressive how the both managed to basically say Discovery doesn't matter in the timeline, but it did! lol.
I didn't manage to keep up with a lot of the technobabble and plans, but I don't think in the end it mattered. People who get their nickers in a bunch with trying to find sense and science in science fiction, won't enjoy much.

Just to irritate more cats who will never catch lasers
Thank you for this! Will give it a read.

There's a difference between resistant and completely indestructible, capable of defusing the explosive impact completely. Again, pretty much every scene in the episode had the crew flying around the room from smaller hits to the shields. Pike just standing there was dumb considering the resulting hole in the ship.
And I get it, that detail is hardly the most outrageous thing in Star Trek. It's a series that had slingshotting around the sun to go back in time. It's just the combination of the scene trying really hard to make Cornwell's "sacrifice" seem noble instead completely pointless on top of pretty much immediately nullifying the severity of the explosion in the moment. It's something that plagues Discovery, its need to add a bunch of nonsense dramatic moments and it's frustrating to watch in a show I otherwise enjoy.

Shots like this admittedly seem more BSG inspired, particularly with the multitude of explosions at once.
God the Enterprise was an absolute tank this episode
We'll get the V'draysh and probably the first signs of Zora cropping up. Maybe abandoning the Discovery for a 32nd century Discovery-A.
Ya know I was thinking, this could've been a perfect point for them to change discovery into an anthology series or a pike series. Though I'm not sure how they'd have dealt with the name then. But as we know it's not happening and we are indeed getting future Discovery, I just hope it's not like mirror universe where they see Federation destroyed (ala Andromeda, please don't want that here) and then come back to present.
The shuttle bay doesn't have a door (well maybe an emergency one?). The only thing separating the shuttle bay from space is the ship's shields.
I didn't catch it the first time but the absolute huge chunk out of the front of the saucer section shown after the Discovery enters the wormhole proves it's the A-10 of Starfleet.

Almost to 25K...damn
Kurtzman says he'd love nothing more than to bring them back for more so...make it happen Alex
holy shit you're right i could've have sworn there's was a door in season one but nope it was always open...
It's rare but it does close occasionally. Here's a shot:
It's happened a few times but always brief. Easier seen in official renders:

Just watched the final episode.
I'm gonna miss Captain Pike. I'd watch a show about him and the current Enterprise crew.
