Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Star Trek: Discovery" season 5, episode 2
So, as you will have gathered from watching Star Trek: Discovery's episode 1 of season 5, it would appear that the primary plot is based on a past episode of "The Next Generation" (TNG). Yes indeed, no new "Star Trek" show is safe from nostalgia — and very specifically — TNG-era nostalgia. Any storyline, from any previous incarnation of "Star Trek" could've been used, but it cannot denied that it feels like we're being given what Terry Matalas and the other executive producers who are still obsessed with living in the past want, which is to relive their teens.
