Star Trek: Discovery - Perpetual Infinity

What even happened in this episode? Basically nothing. It was all dumb and pointless and made me wonder why I'm even watching this terrible show.

Star Trek: Discovery - The Red Angel

In the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books there's a device that's designed to give you ultimate perspective, to allow you to know exactly how insignificant you are on a universal scale. Zaphod Beeblebrox is scheduled to be hooked up to this device, but before that can happen he's brought into a simulation, an exact copy of the universe that was created just for him, so when the device is activated he learns that he is the most important person in the entire universe and the very reason for its existence, thus sparing him the fate of having his mind destroyed by the true scale of his own worth. Star Trek: Discovery is that simulation, but for Michael Burnham. It's all about Michael. Everything.

Star Trek: Discovery - Project Daedalus

This episode was a real land of contrasts. It was half great, half terrible. There was a lot of really good character stuff in there, but then the plot got in the way, and that ending - ugh. Just the worst. But I'll get to that. Let's start with the good bits.

Star Trek: Discovery - If Memory Serves

Honestly, this episode was not bad. I think it helps that Spock has finally arrived so it's not just everyone talking about him all the time. The Talosians were kind of a weird thing to include because it's really not clear how they could possibly fit into the larger story, but they were fine. I'm also not sure where they're going with the Dr Boyfriend plot, but I guess we'll see.
