TL;DR – This week we delve into a very classical episode of Trek, with an emotional punch that left me in tears.
Score – 4.5 out of 5 stars
When
you watch a TV show there are many things that can draw your attention. There
could be some cool effects, some nifty action, some big emotional moment, or
something witty that makes you laugh. For me personally, I find myself focusing
on the things that show off someone’s or
in the case of a show, everyone’s talent. That can be that beautiful starscape
that awes me to the core, or it can be an emotional moment where the actors
with the help of the director, script and the whole crew bring words to life and
make them their own. In tonight’s episode of Star Trek Discovery, we get
several moments like this including one that ripped out my heart and made me
weep.
So to set the scene, after last week’s episode Point
of Light there was some more focus for the USS Discovery as they had captured the mycelium creature hitching a
ride on Tilly (Mary Wiseman). At this start of this week, we get some more focus as Number Two (Rebecca Romijn) comes
on-board for burgers and to let Captain Pike (Anson Mount) know that she has
found the direction Spock took after fleeing the care facility and allegedly
murdering three people. With this information in hand, they warp off to intercept him before someone less savoury finds
him. All is fine, well bar Saru (Doug Jones) having a cold, which Linus (David
Benjamin Tomlinson) can sympathise with, however just as they get near the warp
trail the Discovery is ripped out of
warp by an ancient being and held in place as all hell breaks loose. Now from
here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
