The Review at the End of the Universe
“Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2” Star Trek: Discovery concludes its second season with an epic battle, the resolution of the Red Angel story and the promise of a bold new direction for the series. There’s no denying that Star Trek: Discovery is a divisive show among viewers. I’m in the camp of viewers that really…
“Such Sweet Sorrow” Star Trek: Discovery gears up for the season finale with difficult choices, the promise of an epic battle and a whole lot of goodbyes. Previous iterations of Star Trek have always had a difficult relationship with raising the stakes. There are some exceptions to this but on the whole any promise of…
“Through the Valley of Shadows” Star Trek: Discovery continues with the threat to the galaxy plot with the investigation of two leads that may provide answers for them. The previous episode was an intense character driven emotional journey which means that this episode is about picking up the pieces of that. Michael Burnham begins this…
“Perpetual Infinity” Star Trek: Discovery deals with the reveal of the Red Angel’s identity from last week while reiterating the threat to all sentient life in the galaxy. Ending the previous episode with the reveal that the Red Angel is Burnham’s mother wasn’t an entirely unexpected shock given how the episode approached building up to…
“The Red Angel” Star Trek: Discovery reveals the identity of the Red Angel and tackles various emotionally driven plots that are both linked and entirely separate. The previous episode did a really good job quickly developing a background character so that her death would be meaningful when it happened at the end of the episode….
“Project Daedalus” Star Trek: Discovery takes the crew to Section 31 headquarters and pushes the corrupted Airiam plot to the front. This show has an interesting approach to characters in the context of the Star Trek franchise. Previous entries have focused on the bridge crew with each of them having a defined role on the…
“If Memory Serves” Star Trek: Discovery revisits the first aliens ever encountered in the franchise when Michael takes Spock to Talos IV in an effort to heal his fractured mind. Nostalgia is really big these days. Hardly a day goes by without some project being greenlit with the intension of capitalising on nostalgia in order…
“Light and Shadows” Star Trek: Discovery concludes the search for Spock, ramps up the mystery surrounding him and deals with a temporal anomaly at the halfway point of the season. As a Star Trek fan there’s a large degree of comfort that comes with a good old temporal anomaly story. There have been numerous examples…
“The Sounds of Thunder” Star Trek: Discovery explores the implications of Saru’s recent realisation when a red burst appears over his home planet. As a new species in the Star Trek canon it was inevitable that audiences would eventually get a look at Saru’s home planet in order to develop his character through showing where…
“Saints of Imperfection” Star Trek: Discovery has the crew embark on a daring rescue mission to retrieve Tilly from the clutches of the Mycelial Network. The search for Spock is really becoming tedious. Yes I do want to make use of that title reference as much as I can but the point still stands. Each…
