Star Trek: Discovery season 5 has kicked off with a bang, delving into an epic treasure hunt mission that serves as a direct sequel to the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, 'The Chase.' Showrunner Michelle Paradise sheds light on the connection between the two storylines.
In the season 5 premiere titled 'Red Directive,' Captain Michael Burnham embarks on a quest to recover an ancient artifact that leads to a missing technology created by the Progenitors, ancient humanoids who hold the key to the power of creating life itself. This concept harkens back to Captain Jean-Luc Picard's discovery in TNG season 6.
