The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery has put a reveal that even The Next Generation dared not touch at its heart, in some fascinating ways.

This week, Star Trek : Discovery kicked off its final season with a bold adventure—one with intimate ties to a classic Star Trek : The Next Generation story no other show in the franchise has dared to follow up on. In doing so, it’s opening up the kinds of opportunities that only Discovery really can—but it requires a delicate balancing act in the process. It’s fitting that Discovery’s fifth season premiere opened on the week of what is known as First Contact Day to Star Trek fans.

There have been Star Trek stories since that examine the evolution of life across its universe—like Voyager’s fascinating “Distant Origin,” where a scientist from a Delta quadrant species called the Voth discovers they are descended from Earth’s dinosaurs—but it took three decades for the franchise to pick up directly where “The Chase” left things off as Discovery did this week.
