That was a great episode/finale. Kovich being Daniels made me gasp and clap. That was great. I'm sad the series is over because I really liked Rayner this season as a foible to all the cheerfulness on Disco. The only thing I would want in a new season would have been more Rayner and more Grudge.
It was a nice reveal but to be honest, what kind of importance did it really have? The Daniels from ENT was quite involved in the story, Kovich was more a side character that here and there gave some input. Looking back, how does knowing he is Daniels change anything in the events he was part of? I might not remember his involvement well enough to be fair.
One thing I disliked was, Owo and Detmer are away half the season, and I saw an article that the actresses just had different projects so that's fine. They got replaced by... People whose characters were never really developed since they were stand-ins. Don't even recall their names. And then when its the big goodbye celebration scene on Discovery its Owo and Detmer there, but not the two replacements? Goddamn Rayner was there too but you left out these two? That was cold.
Could have done with some more Jet Reno as well.
The Kovich/Daniels reveal seems like the sort of thing that may get a little exploration on Academy and possibly Section 31.
If nothing else, it was an odd choice for him to want to keep around a bottle of "sour mead":
