1
00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:10.902
[Michael] Disconnection,
that's how this future began.

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.282
One moment in time
that radiated outward

3
00:00:17.242 --> 00:00:18.952
until no one even remembered

4
00:00:18.952 --> 00:00:20.995
that connection was
possible anymore.

5
00:00:21.996 --> 00:00:22.956
But it is.

6
00:00:24.916 --> 00:00:27.252
This season, thematically,
it's really all about

7
00:00:27.252 --> 00:00:29.003
connection and disconnection.

8
00:00:29.003 --> 00:00:31.840
We enter this world that
is very disconnected

9
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:34.300
and because our heroes are
here, because of who they are,

10
00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:36.761
because of who Burnham is,
we're able to reconnect

11
00:00:36.761 --> 00:00:39.431
and bring societies
back into the Federation

12
00:00:39.431 --> 00:00:41.224
and bring people
back together.

13
00:00:42.642 --> 00:00:45.687
You found your way home.

14
00:00:50.734 --> 00:00:53.361
We live in a world where
things are disconnected

15
00:00:53.361 --> 00:00:56.614
and where certain
choices have consequences

16
00:00:56.614 --> 00:00:58.658
and we don't always
see what those are.

17
00:00:58.658 --> 00:01:01.244
And so we wanted to explore
over the course of the season

18
00:01:01.244 --> 00:01:02.912
how that would play out
in our world

19
00:01:02.912 --> 00:01:04.497
and in different societies
that we meet.

20
00:01:04.497 --> 00:01:07.208
And then with Su'Kal,
we were looking for

21
00:01:07.208 --> 00:01:08.835
what kind of story
could we tell

22
00:01:08.835 --> 00:01:10.628
where the disconnection
would be so profound

23
00:01:10.628 --> 00:01:11.921
that something like
this could happen?

24
00:01:11.921 --> 00:01:13.715
Something that
wasn't his fault,

25
00:01:13.715 --> 00:01:16.134
but something that he was
part of and experienced.

26
00:01:16.134 --> 00:01:18.470
And now there are pieces
to be picked up

27
00:01:18.470 --> 00:01:21.181
and who's going to do that,
and we all have to do that.

28
00:01:21.181 --> 00:01:25.143
I would like to help repair
what is broken if I can.

29
00:01:25.143 --> 00:01:29.689
And it's scary,
it's scary to look beyond

30
00:01:29.689 --> 00:01:33.526
what is familiar to us,
it's scary to reach out

31
00:01:33.526 --> 00:01:36.029
and connect with those
who are different from us.

32
00:01:36.029 --> 00:01:39.574
It's scary to envision a
world that is different

33
00:01:39.574 --> 00:01:41.576
because this is the
only world we know,

34
00:01:41.576 --> 00:01:44.829
but by trusting and
connecting and going out

35
00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:47.749
into the wider world he,
by the end of the season,

36
00:01:47.749 --> 00:01:51.211
gets to see love and
connection all around him.

37
00:01:51.211 --> 00:01:53.838
He gets to go back to
Kaminar with Saru

38
00:01:53.838 --> 00:01:55.590
and experience a
life that he

39
00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:57.967
never would have gotten
to experience otherwise.

40
00:02:01.095 --> 00:02:03.515
[Doug Jones] Saru really
wants to take this opportunity

41
00:02:03.515 --> 00:02:05.725
because he wants
to go home too.

42
00:02:05.725 --> 00:02:08.144
His nostalgia's gotten
the better of him

43
00:02:08.144 --> 00:02:10.230
and now here is a Kelpien

44
00:02:10.230 --> 00:02:12.982
that really needs
a big brother type.

45
00:02:12.982 --> 00:02:17.028
So, Saru takes that
role on happily.

46
00:02:17.028 --> 00:02:20.198
He's questioning what it is
that he wants out of life.

47
00:02:20.198 --> 00:02:21.282
So, it'll be really
interesting to see

48
00:02:21.282 --> 00:02:23.993
what Michelle and Alex
come up with Season 4.

49
00:02:23.993 --> 00:02:27.288
Whether or not Saru is
going to be an admiral,

50
00:02:27.288 --> 00:02:29.791
is he gonna go back to
being a number one?

51
00:02:29.791 --> 00:02:32.293
And how that dynamic
plays with Burnham.

52
00:02:32.293 --> 00:02:34.254
[Doug Jones]
Is it difficult to return to a ship

53
00:02:34.254 --> 00:02:37.048
that you captained and
be a subordinate on?

54
00:02:37.048 --> 00:02:40.009
Is there some connection to
Kaminar now that maybe...

55
00:02:40.009 --> 00:02:43.513
Ooh, maybe
Ambassador Saru for Kaminar

56
00:02:43.513 --> 00:02:44.973
to the Federation, one day.

57
00:02:44.973 --> 00:02:46.975
There's many options and
many places we can go with it

58
00:02:46.975 --> 00:02:49.811
and I'm looking forward
to that, what's ahead.

59
00:02:51.604 --> 00:02:53.565
I hope that Saru
stays on the ship.

60
00:02:53.565 --> 00:02:57.735
I also hope that if he
wants to stay on Kaminar

61
00:02:57.735 --> 00:02:58.778
he does stay on Kaminar.

62
00:02:58.778 --> 00:03:01.364
But think the way that it
ends is really beautiful.

63
00:03:01.364 --> 00:03:04.200
I'm really happy that Burnham
gets to step up as captain.

64
00:03:05.334 --> 00:03:06.953
[Tilly]
Captain on the bridge.

65
00:03:10.790 --> 00:03:14.252
At the end of the
season, this is home now.

66
00:03:14.252 --> 00:03:19.252
And we need somebody to
lead us in this new future,

67
00:03:19.424 --> 00:03:22.719
who really understands
it, who understands us,

68
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.846
who's willing to take risks.

69
00:03:24.846 --> 00:03:28.099
Michael Burnham is the hero
that we need in that moment.

70
00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:29.934
We're just getting used
to this new future

71
00:03:29.934 --> 00:03:34.188
but we don't know
what type of enemies,

72
00:03:34.188 --> 00:03:37.483
for lack of a better word,
we're going to come up against

73
00:03:37.483 --> 00:03:40.236
or struggles we're gonna come
up against in this future.

74
00:03:40.236 --> 00:03:42.488
I am excited for that because

75
00:03:42.488 --> 00:03:45.366
what is Burnham gonna
be like as a captain?

76
00:03:45.366 --> 00:03:48.828
It was so great filming
that final moment

77
00:03:48.828 --> 00:03:50.330
of walking back
onto the bridge.

78
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:52.916
And I think there's
this moment of reprieve.

79
00:03:52.916 --> 00:03:55.752
You know, we sit down and
we've got a new captain,

80
00:03:55.752 --> 00:03:58.588
it's all very exciting
and I think the future,

81
00:03:58.588 --> 00:04:01.716
if I had to bet on it is
gonna hold more drama.

82
00:04:01.716 --> 00:04:04.510
I'm excited to see
where she leads us.

83
00:04:07.388 --> 00:04:08.556
Let's fly.
