This week brings us to the first Star Trek entry for 2021 — and possibly the last live-action episode for long, while thanks to filming delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic — the Star Trek: Discovery season finale!
In this new episode, “That Hope is You, Part 2” — which in early descriptions was titled “Outside,” but now closes the “Part 1” title from the season premiere — the Discovery crew must work with the sentient Sphere Data (Annabelle Wallis) to retake the ship from Osyraa’s (Janet Kidder) Emerald Chain forces, while keeping the Orion villain from destroying Starfleet Command and the remains of the Federation.
Meanwhile, Saru (Doug Jones) and Culber (Wilson Cruz) — along with Adira (Blu del Barrio) and Gray (Ian Alexander) — must find a way to reach the terrified Kelpien responsible for The Burn, Su’Kal (Bill Irwin), before the deadly radiation inside the Verubin Nebula claims their lives.
Here are ten new photos from “That Hope is You, Part 2,” where we see Adira’s new look — a Xahean, like Queen Po from last season — after beaming down to the holographic environment.
Finally, if you didn’t catch it at the end of “There Is A Tide…,” here’s a new preview for the episode — featuring what looks to be Trill host Gray Tal in a Vulcan guise, thanks likely to Su’Kal’s holographic environment — and a clip which debuted during Thursday’s episode of The Ready Room, where Saru and Culber realize their situation is getting worse.
THAT HOPE IS YOU, PART 2 — Season finale. As the Emerald Chain tightens its grip and the mystery of the Burn is finally solved, Burnham and the crew have one last chance to save themselves – and the Federation.
