Not much happening this week.
The romance with Burnham and Tyler is very unconvincing. I just don't feel it (that might be due to Burnham's weird emotional distance performance). I can live without Michelle Yeoh too quite frankly. Though I liked that they mentioned Lorca "probably" being dead (I suspect Jason Isaac isn't keen to be a TV regular but we might at least get a cameo).

I can live without Michelle Yeoh too quite frankly. Though I liked that they mentioned Lorca "probably" being dead (I suspect Jason Isaac isn't keen to be a TV regular but we might at least get a cameo). I was truly mystified by the ending. I thought "wait a minute, did I nod off and miss something?". What was Admiral Whatshername thinking, putting Georgiou in charge? If it is for real, then it has to be the most stupid decision by a character in 50 years of Star Trek. If it is just for show, to boost morale and rally the troops ahead of a difficult mission, it is still a pretty stupid decision - she has to know that the potential risks far outweigh whatever intangible benefit might be achieved. There is a third possibility which is that the Admiral is also from the Mirror universe and a loyalist, but that would be really poor writing - inventing illogical twists just for the sake of having a twist. I couldn't agree more about the Burnham-Tyler love subplot. Not convincing at all. |

Yeah, it doesn't really add up.
Even if you want the crew to get the confidence boost of knowing she's alive, it would be fine for her not to be in command given, you know, there's a frikkin admiral on board who outranks her anyway.
I'm happy to revisit the mirror universe but let's not get too bogged down in it, please. The lorca stuff was fun but I'd much rather move on now and go visit a new universe where people evolved from cats or something.

From the watching ep I'd like Cornwell to be the new captain (although she did lose it a bit when they got to the starbase), but we're probably going to get Georgiou as the new captain, which I've no excitement for.
The romance between Burnham & Tyler feels like an attempt to modernise Trek, by including a romance on the show, but the whole relationship falls flat for me.

The more I think about it, the less sense it makes. If the Admiral truly wants mirror Georgiou to command the Discovery, then she is incredibly stupid and/or naive. If it is just for show and Georgiou won't actually be in charge, how could it possibly work? How could the bridge crew fail to notice that she is not the one giving the orders? |
