As I rewatch #StarTrekDiscovery’s second season, here are my mini-reviews! I love a lot of this season!
(Warning: I struggle with the coherence of the Red Angel plot. The nature of it seems to shift mid-way through the season—likely due to showrunner changes.) #StarTrek
“Brother” is gorgeously shot. Production design is intricate and artful. The background of Michael’s beginnings with the Sarek family is intriguing, especially the strange Spock dragon.
Pike quickly commands the screen with ease and integrity and Reno is a quippy addition!
“New Eden” is perfect #StarTrek which adds to the little-seen WWIII story, celebrates our innate desire to seek our knowledge in Jacob, a fascinating discussion of religion and science, clear growth from Burnham and fun ship action with a touching Saru/Tilly scene that is gold!

“Point of Light” echoes within the great tradition of political Klingon stories like “Sins of the Father,” but with many more rapid turns and life-changing decisions too quickly arrived at, IMO. Love the Ash/Michael scene. I love Tilly’s arc, especially with Michael’s support.

“An Obol for Charon” masterfully tells one coherent story about our desire to leave a legacy, have our story be heard through Discovery’s encounter with the Sphere and Saru’s personal journey as the only Kelpian in Starfleet. Saru/Michael and Tilly/Stamets are compelling!

“Saints of Imperfection” brings back Culber and takes the crew into the Mycelial Network where the Je’Sep and Culber see one another as monsters when neither are. Classic #StarTrek—bridging the gap between planes of existence—between people—with empathy and conversation.
