This is not a bad episode of sci-fi, it's good and crazy fun despite a number of very dumb things. But this is also the worst attempt at anything labeled Star Trek since last season's "Choose Your Pain." Discovery isn't as self-important and insulting towards the legacy of Star Trek as, say, William Shatner's novels, but dammit it's still trying.
All of the progress and improvements to Discovery made at the beginning of the season has been undone at this point. All we're left with is shock drama that wants to be anything but a TV show about anything but Star Trek. It's even subverting the few things it did well in season 1 (like turning Tilly into a stupifying, cringy characature of herself). The best line of the episode was Rhinestone Barbie telling her to "Stop talking."
I'm officially continuing to watch because I'm a Star Trek completionist, and because it's free with my Netflix subscription. I feel so bad for people who paid a separate fee just for this.
@maeron Yeah my friend... I am watcing too because I am a star trek fan, no thing more. This show is fucked up and I just can't stand watching Michael anymore!
