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: 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. Mount and Romijn both joined the Discovery cast at the beginning of Season 2, as the Pike-led Enterprise joined forces ... more

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

'Star Trek Discovery': Doug Jones Says All That Makeup Is the Easy Part

Doug Jones doesn’t like to know what’s coming next for his characters. “I’m a one-week-at-a-time guy. If I know too much ahead… I don’t want that to inform how I play the scene today,” he said. But after the dramatic events of “Star Trek: Discovery” Season 2 Episode 4, “An Obol for Charon,” Jones suspected that the writers would loop back around to Saru, who went through a near-death experience that had social media on red alert. “We really had people duped into thinking th... more
