It was a long road from the cancelation of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005 to the launch of Star Trek: Discovery in 2017. The universe created by Gene Roddenberry vanished from small screens for 12 years. As the flagship series for Paramount’s streaming network embarks on its final season, Sonequa Martin-Green’s Michael Burnham’s next stop should be a Star Trek movie. Discovery is part of a storied Star Trek tradition, specifically that when it launched, Trekkies and Trekkers were not pleased. Nearly a half-century prior, fans picketed NBC to save Star Trek, then tried to have The Animated Series canceled, because they didn’t want a cartoon.In fairness to fans, Discovery was even more of a departure from the “franchise formula” than Deep Space Nine was when it launched 30 years ago. However, primarily through the character of Michael Burnham, the Star Trek ideal became something achievable rather than something characters were born with. She wasn’t the first Starfleet hero to make mistakes, but hers came with costs no others had to pay. The first season shaped her character, and when the show jumped to the 32nd Century, Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery were the Starfleet ideal, personified. Season 5 was not intended to be the final outing, which means there is storytelling room for Michael Burnham and the Discovery crew to get their own movie, on streaming or in theaters.More rarely it seems, her time on Star Trek has made Martin-Green more of a fan of the universe and its ethos.
