I totally called Kovich being a time traveler, but them folding him into Daniels was a neat surprise, and felt like a naturally revelation. "Oh, of course he's bloody Daniels." It expanded both characters without diminishing their mystery at all.

Knowing that Calypso was meant to be the whole focus of season 6 is a hard blow, though. We'll likely never get that story now. I'm glad they were able to at least tie it firmly back to the show, but man, it would have been fun to see how it played out. Why does Kovich need this Craft, and why does it require the ship to be de-refitted? Maybe now that the show is done they'll give it a proper continuation in novel form. One can only hope.

Thank god that that's over.

coda? is that a reference to the Star Trek Coda book series?

Im not the biggest fan of Discovery but I'm curious how they would have made the Calypso plot the center of a season long arc
