It was something of old home week on Star Trek: Discovery this week. We had some fun visitors return to the scene, one gleefully, one tortured, and one just happy to escape. ‘Saints of Imperfection’ was a wonderfully taut and nervy bit of storytelling by our Discovery team, one that opened some interesting doors for […]
Plenty to unpack in episode 204 of Star Trek: Discovery, wasn’t there? But while a dying space entity attempts to communicate with the Discovery, there were a couple other things that really stood out for me in this episode, not the least of which was the entire story arc of The Blob that would devour […]
“The freaks are more fun.” And with that, my adoration for Emperor Philippa Georgiou returned intact and with total joy. In fact, episode 203 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Point of Light,” delivered unto my waiting fandom arms two of my favorite characters from season 1 — Georgiou and Ash Tyler (replete with beard and man-bun). […]
There is a lot you could say about episode 202 of “Star Trek: Discovery,” but in watching, then re-watching the episode, I was struck not so much at the minutiae that is often the source of reviewer revelry and discussion, but by the wonderful old-school Trek feel of this episode, “New Eden.” And while this […]
If the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s second season is any indication, we’re in for quite a fun ride in this show’s second season. We pick up a little after we left off last season with the Enterprise and Discovery coming nose-to-nose at last. Saru is the acting captain of the Discovery, Michael Burnham […]
For all those who were enthralled by the performance of Michelle Yeoh in season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery, CBS All Access just made an announcement that should make the heartstrings flutter. CBS All Access has announced plans to further expand the “Star Trek” universe with a new live-action series in development starring Michelle Yeoh. […]
Calling all Trekkies! If you broke down and paid your monthly fee to CBS All Access to watch the first season of Star Trek: Discovery, you’re probably getting a little antsy for news about Season 2. Never fear – we have the First Look Trailer that was released at SDCC today! While I’ll certainly miss […]
The season finale for the first season of Star Trek: Discovery delivered surprises and a satisfying conclusion as things got very interesting for the Discovery crew on Kronos. “Will You Take My Hand” offered a little of everything, including a fun surprise at the end. Putting together a successful Mycellial jump into the caverns of […]
You know how I knew Emperor Georgiou was going to be a key component in the Federation’s flagging war against the Klingons? When she stepped off the transporter pad and addressed Saru in a contemptuously delicious way by telling him to get on his knees before her and said to Burnham, “Yesterday we dined on […]
Well, that was interesting, wasn’t it? The Lorca conundrum was resolved at last, Burnham came to grips with betraying Captain Georgiou in both universes, and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery finally, happily got home — sort of. ‘What’s Past is Prologue” settled some of the questions we’ve had lately about the story arcs we’ve […]
