We’re now halfway through the final season of Star Trek: Discovery, and I have to admit that I’m quite enjoying this season’s quest.
Of course, this episode features a fairly dangerous away mission that Captain Burnham must go on and she must take Booker with her. With Saru’s departure, it really does feel like the remainder of this show will be focused on the Michael and Book story.
They were required to go into a quasi-wormhole where they discovered a wrecked ISS Enterprise from the Mirror Universe, AND IT TOTALLY WORKS! By the end of the episode, they were flying it back to Starfleet in an interesting plot thread for the future.
I’m glad that we got one more episode involving the Mirror Universe for Star Trek: Discovery considering how important it was to this show in the early seasons.
This episode was, essentially, a backstory for Moll and L’ak which I thoroughly enjoyed. L’ak is Breen! And they have two faces? A translucent one and a solid one? That was cool.
At the end of the day, these two fell in love and are now in the run from Breen forces who have placed an “erigah” (blood bounty) on L’ak’s head since he betrayed his people to be with Moll.
I’m still incredibly interested in exactly what the Progenitor tech is going to be when discovered, but now I want Moll and L’ak to get through this and be together. That’s all in addition to, obviously, the Discovery crew getting a good send-off.
