Star Trek: Discovery

Discovery Season 2 Episode 12 Review

I really hate cliffhanger episodes and, although I understand the intention is for Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Episode 12 to build anticipation for the last two episodes of the season, I still hate cliffhangers. A LOT. Other than the cliffhanger, this was a solid bit of adventuring with some truly brilliant twists on both the small and large scale narratives. The tying in of the Klingon arc from Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Episode 3 was cleverly done and ... more

Discovery Season 2 Episode 11 Review

As dramatic as the developments of Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Episode 11 were, there's a sense that it was only laying the groundwork for final three episodes of the season. The fallout from the revelation that Burnham's mother, astrophysicist Gabrielle Burnham, has been attempting to save the universe in the Red Angel time-traveling suit was both emotional and frustrating. Obviously, it was going to be emotional with Burnham believing her to be dead for twenty years... more

Discovery Season 2 Episode 9 Review

When we look back on this season, I feel that Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Episode 9 will be the keystone episode that begins the resolution to all the mysteries that have been introduced. Setting aside the biological element of Section 31, revealing that Control is not a person but a threat assessment program was an elegant finesse that changed the parameters of the conflict Discovery is facing. It's decidedly chilling that an intelligence created from the information... more

'Star Trek: Discovery': How Tig Notaro Best Embodied Starfleet's Values in Season 2

“Star Trek” has a history of bringing in unexpected stars, all drawn to the franchise by their passion for the source material. And with the latest iteration, “Star Trek: Discovery,” that tradition has continued in a number of respects, but none more interesting than the casting of Tig Notaro as engineer Jett Reno, introduced in the first episode of Season 2 and who proved to be a delightful presence over the course of the following episodes. Notaro is best known as a stand-up comic whose riffs on her cancer battle and pop cultur... more

Star Trek: Discovery: Anson Mount to Exit as Captain Pike at End of Season 2

Star Trek: Discovery will have to find someone new to occupy the captain’s chair next season: Anson Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike on the CBS All Access drama, will exit the show at season’s end, according to our sister site Deadline. Also, Rebecca Romijn, who plays Pike’s shipmate Number One, will leave the series as well.

Star Trek: Discovery Stars Break Down a 'More Outrageous' Spock's Debut, His 'Complicated' Bond With Burnham

Spock finally made his Star Trek: Discovery debut this week… but he’s quite a bit different from the coldly logical Vulcan we’re used to, isn’t he? When Burnham tracked down her long-lost brother in Thursday’s episode, he was, well, freaking out — muttering logical doctrines to himself in a remote cave, and obsessed with the Red Angel. She brought him back for medical attention, and Section 31’s Captain Leland wanted to give him a neural scan, but Georgiou warned Burnham that the “scan&rdquo... more
