As beforehand reported, the solid and crew shot the fifth season with out planning it as a finale. After the cancellation choice got here down, they scored a number of days of additional filming to shoot scenes so as to add to the finale and function a wrap-up of the entire sequence.
Right this moment, they verify that partly due to this the finale episode will get an prolonged runtime and the consequence goals to “really feel full”.

“Alex [Kurtzman] and I talked about it so much by way of what these closing moments can be, what it will seem like, and what did we wish to do there? You all the time wish to wrap a season in a extremely great means.
Wrapping a sequence, particularly after we didn’t know going into the season that it will be the ultimate season, we thought so much about it, and we put so much into it. I do assume that individuals will actually get pleasure from it and that it’ll really feel ‘of a bit,’ and really feel full in a extremely good, even when it’s bittersweet, means.”
