The writers have already laid the groundwork by drawing on the Borg’s tropes and characteristics. However, even if it wasn’t planned, this is a golden opportunity to rewrite the Borg’s history in a more relevant, satisfying way. Remember when executive producer Akiva Goldsman definitively told us Spock would not be appearing on Discovery?) Photo: Steve Wilkie / CBS Interactive Through post-season interviews, writers and producers have said this isn’t their intention. It seemed as though Discovery was giving us the origin story of the Borg through this story of a rogue AI. The Discovery writers have threaded many hints and fostered quite a bit of speculation on what Control might be - or specifically what it might become. The real enemy was the head of Section 31, an AI called Control. The Red Angel was trying to stop a devastating future that would see the end of all organic sentient life. But it wasn’t until protagonist Michael Burnham found her brother, Star Trek series stalwart Spock, that the season’s real threat became clear. Along the way, the crew learned the nature of the Red Angel. The ship’s crew joined forces with Section 31, the covert arm of Starfleet, to unmask the truth behind the signals. So much was unknown, but it was clear the Angel had a mission.Īs the season progressed, Discovery learned new tidbits about the Red Angel. A powerful being the protagonists dubbed the Red Angel also appeared alongside these signals, but its nature and its intentions were unclear.
The Federation starship Discovery spent the season tracking seven mysterious red signals, each of which led toward some greater purpose. While the Klingon War and the Mirror Universe dominated Star Trek: Discovery’s first season, the second season - which concluded on April 18th - set off on a different path.
Spoiler warning: major plot reveals from season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery ahead.
