Ajala brings a winning rogue quality to the Kwelijan currier and the character being an empath also makes him a remarkable emotional counterpoint to the stoic Burnham. Cleveland “Book” Booker (David Ajala) and Grudge (aka “The Queen”) remain a large part of the proceedings as well. Not that Burnham’s personal life is likely to be less a part of the show. When Admiral Vance (Oded Fehr) actually agreed to trust Burnham’s plan to take out Osyrra (Janet Kidder), it was only a matter of time before he decided she was fit for command after all. She kept making the same sorts of wild-some may say rash-decisions that she has always made, but she did them in service of Starfleet and her crew. Her role in the two parts of the finale finally seemed to set up the idea that Burnham was ready to move forward.

And yet, everything is wrapped up well and with a compelling story. It is very action heavy and light on the sort of character based humor and side adventures that are my favorite parts of the franchise. “That Hope Is You, Part 2” takes the themes and developments that have been building over the second half of Season 3 and brings them all to a head. And since it has been announced that there will be a Season 4, it will be great to see where the creative team can take things from here. This would certainly be an unfortunate thing though as the show, which has always been good, really started to explore its role in the Star Trek universe in new and interesting ways during Season 3. It also ends in such a way that it could easily serve as a series finale if the circumstances led to the show not being renewed.
