Featured reviews
Every single scene feels like it is practiced 100 times , the actors feels like they are doing the moves just to get to the end of the scene.
So much talking and talking and i really don't care, i am kinda bummed by this episode.
If this is star trek cant we not have this silly soap opera writing, the show feels small and crowded with no one really shining at the moment.Cant we do the fun stuff about star trek? Lets evacuate a planet, or drill some hole in the magma of an H class planet. Or beam some people up and down, i don't know i don't get paid for this, but how about we encounter a freaking space anomaly and someone get sicks and has flashbacks of alternate timelines which eventually and up to be the conscious mind of another dimension being and we wrap it up with some positive message like teamwork and logical thinking, throw some ethics in there too.
I said it before ,this is a space opera episode.. and maybe show? i hope not. .
The Spock stuff while interesting was also rife with more continuity issues and felt like padding to fill out the episode. Also the camera work was extremely over the top this week. Bring back Johnathon Frakes.
Over all this episode felt like filler and wasn't as good as the first two episodes. 6/10
The show now starts to move towards something that looks and feels like a real startrek show.
But i do agree with people saying that the camera work was terrible. They focus Way to much on "cool" camera effects instead of the story. Please stop doing that. That's not why people watch a startrek show.
Section 31. Now that is cool and something i have wished for to happen in season 1 also.
Really looking forward to where that story Line is going...
I like the fact that they try to better introduce other caracters than Michael. Give Them some "air time".
Looking forward to the next episodes.
Now for the bad: Pike, who in my mind is the standout of this season, is mostly on the back burner. Also for the love of God no more Klingons, or at least no more Klingon blood feuds, I beg of you writers. Also I have mixed feelings about seeing Ash again, but I would love to see him as a regular in Georgiou's Section 31 series as was implied at the end.
All in all, decent filler.
I am enjoying the fleshing out of Spock's mother as a deep character who was held in such high esteem by her son.

- TriviaFirst appearance of Klingons with hair on Discovery.
- GoofsStametts says Tilly is harboring a eukaryotic organism, which is taken to mean a fungus. This is not what "eukaryotic" means -- eukaryotic organisms includes all fungi, plants, and animals, and presumably many of the extraterrestrial species on Star Trek.
- Quotes
Amanda Grayson: Spock speaks highly of you, Captain Pike. Now my daughter does, too, so I know I've come to the right people.
Captain Christopher Pike: Well, ma'am, that makes it all the harder for me to tell you. I can't open this file. If I did, I'd be in violation of the rules, and my mother wouldn't like that.
Michael Burnham: There is precedent in Starfleet case law for a captain to invoke...
Captain Christopher Pike: [to Amanda] Was she this bossy as a kid?
Amanda Grayson: On Vulcan, we call it "persistent", and yes, she was. She learned that from me.
