Star Trek: Discovery
WARNING : This article hold SPOILERS for Star Trek : Discovery season 5 , including the serial finale , " Life , Itself "
Summary
I love the wayStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 celebrate both faith and scientific discipline . Discoveryseason 5 place Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin - Green ) on an intergalactic gem William Holman Hunt in hunting of the power of instauration itself . Upon notice the powerful applied science of the primogenitor , however , Burnham realized that that variety of power is too much for any one mortal or culture to hold . Burnham recognise that her universe already has"infinite diversity in unnumberable combinations,“and has no need for the Progenitors ' technology .
When Captain Burnham satisfy with one of theProgenitors ( toy by Somkele Iyamah - Idhalama ) , the ancient being bring out that her people did not create the technology they used to sow the Galax urceolata with newfangled humanoid lifeforms . This Progenitor aver that there could be"a cycle per second of creators and creations , unnumbered times over . “I love that Burnham did not forgather God with a uppercase " G " and thatStar Trek : Discoverydid not attempt to provide answers to all of life ’s dubiousness . Even in the 32nd hundred , where technology fundamentally looks like magic , there are still some unanswerable interrogation .
Screen Rant interview Star Trek : Discovery showrunner Michelle Paradise about the biggest enquiry forget behind by the series conclusion .
Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Celebrated Faith As Much As Science
“They’re not really that far apart. The intellectual and the spiritual.”
Star Trek : Discovery , like mostStar Trek , has always been a festivity of humanity and the things we can accomplish when we put by our difference and work together . Star TrekcreatorGene Roddenberry did not like faith , but he had an optimistic vista of humanity . Trekshows likeStar Trek : Deep Space Nineincorporated spiritual elements , but often include a possible scientific account for thing . WhileDiscoverycertainly does not celebrate organised religious belief , it does forget room for faith and spirituality . I appreciate that , even in the technobabble - filled world ofStar Trek , science and faith can coexist and even complement one another .
Star Trek : Discoveryacknowledges that"beliefs can develop " .
InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , episode 6 , " Whistlespeak , " for exemplar , Captain Burnham and Lt . Sylvia Tilly ( Mary Wiseman ) gossip Halem’no , a planet with a faith that involve sacrifice . When Burnham reveals the truth about the major planet and shows its people that sacrifices are unneeded , she points out that:“Nothing we have prove you have in mind god do n’t exist . It ’s just that now you recognise that there is also us . " Star Trek : Discoveryacknowledges that"beliefs can evolve,“and understanding the scientific discipline behind things does not preclude believe in something bighearted than ourselves . As Burnham expresses , Star Trekcelebrates infinite diversity in infinite combinations , and that includes people of science and mass of religion .
Dr. Culber’s Journey Highlights How Science & Spirituality Complement One Another In Star Trek
“I can’t explain it, I just feel it. Trust me, please.”
ThroughoutStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , Dr. Hugh Culber ( Wilson Cruz ) went through a ghostly awakening of sorts . As the USS Discovery ’s Chief Medical Officer and counselor , Culber had spent most of his metre in the 32nd one C looking after everyone on the ship but himself . InStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , sequence 3 , " Jinaal , " Culber help as a vessel for a Trill named Jinaal who had been one of the five Federation scientists responsible for protect the progenitor ' technology . After this experience , Culber began reflecting more on his past experiences and Discovery ’s quest for the Progenitors ' treasure .
Dr. Culber proves that both science and faith have their place when explore the stars .
I love how Dr. Culber ’s journeying capsulize the complementary nature of science and faith . When he open up to Tilly , she even points out the similarities between the intellect and the spiritual , saying:“Both contact for apprehension . Both bring us to new places . “ByDiscovery’sseries finale , Culber tip into trusting his instincts , and he accompanies Cleveland Booker ( David Ajala ) in a shuttlecock to rescue Burnham because he has a feeling he ’ll be need . Whether because of Jinaal ’s lingering presence in his mind or some other unaccountable reason , Culber subsequently acquires information that help save Burnham . In the end , Dr. Culber prove that both scientific discipline and religious belief have their stead when exploring the stars , and noStar Trekhas represent that better thanStar Trek : Discovery .
