It was pretty timey-wimey, but as far as these episodes go, it wasn't bad. Mostly a filler episode in that nothing happens with the quest, but good development for Rayner, and I continue to like this guy.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than most episodes of DSC to this point. It still suffers from characters stopping to talk about their feelings every five minutes (an on-the-clock Capt. Burnham stops to talk to her UNCONSCIOUS self, for chrissakes) , but that's just the way Disco rolls. And yes, Rayner is a most welcome addition. |

It seemed like an ep to tie up loose threads. One last hurrah for an old character and explaining a short Trek. It did feel like Trek. And I'd rather have them waste time talking then going at a breakneck pace going nowhere. |

I really like this episode. It is, in my opinion, the best of the season so far. While the season premiere is probably more narratively tight, this episode is more adventurous and overall have a more trekkie feel. I like time travel stories, the much maligned Discovery first season have that Mudd time travel ep that was pretty much the only one I like. In this episode time-travelling is used as a device to address issues of crew cohesion and relevance that many critics have complained about. Are those issues resolved? Almost certainly not. But the episode is really fun and the technobabble is off the chart entertaining. I think the ep is more focus on how Rayner is integrating to the crew, what is his role and how he can successfully accomplished it. He is a really good character and I hope the writers don't transform him into a villain down the road for the sake of drama.

I'm fine with an emotional beat, even if time is of the essence. It's a TV show. It wants to hook you emotionally. I get it. But this show does emotional exposition dumps and always has. Burnham doesn't just say to Saru, "I don't want to have to explain to T'Rina why you didn't come back, so come back." They ARGUE about where the person they both know is best suited physically to the task should go. Burnham doesn't just ease her younger self to the floor, take stock of that person that she was, smile a small smile, and, "I know you don't believe it now, but it's going to be fine. I promise." There's a sonnet. I just never understood the mindset behind this. |
