The latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery, “Such Sweet Sorrow,” may be best remembered as the “The Big Goodbye 2.0.” The crew truly coheres as a family, which has been an ongoing struggle with the show. Many characters have been maddeningly underdeveloped, such as the supporting bridge crew, who were little more than faces in…

Star Trek: Discovery, S2.9: “Project Daedalus” is a conspiracy wrapped in an enigma…
After the retro-fun of returning to Talos IV in “If Memory Serves”, Star Trek: Discovery takes yet another detour into edgy Trek with “Project Daedalus”; an installment that has some nice character moments, yet bumps its head on the ceiling of its own serialized format, leaving an incomplete episode that still delivers some thrilling action…

Season two’s third episode “Point of Light” does so, but also feels more like a chapter in a telenovela. Granted, that’s one of the inherent risks with such serialized storytelling. On the plus side, “Point…
Discovery Short Treks, 1 of 4: “Runaway”…
I’d like to begin this recap/review of the first of four Star Trek: Discovery ‘Short Treks’ by saying that I’m saddened some kind of arrangement between CBS-All Access and Netflix couldn’t be made in time to simulcast this 15-minute short to the UK and the rest of Europe. To any readers who haven’t seen it, or…
