There's a weird balance in this week's
Star Trek Discovery where there is a lot of stuff happening, but a
lot of it not feeling very consequential. Pike gazes into the
looking glass and finds a future that elicits a reaction much like
Carol Marcus' in Star Trek Into Darkness when Khan killed her
father. A time crystal is procured, and all they lack is a suit to
install it in, or the energy of a supernova to power it. Leland is
nowhere to be found in this episode, but that doesn't mean the
buddy team-up between Spock and Burnham is safe from Control.
This episode was written by Bo Yeon Kim
and Erika Lippoldt, and has Douglas Aarniokoski back again in the
director's chair.
Come along with us as we recap, review and grossly over analyze even the smallest detail of every episode of Star Trek Discovery. Releases every Monday.
