Welcome to 2018 where all women are engineer scientist princesses...oops sorry, queens.
14 minutes of wasted & inconsistent time. Deeply disappointing even as a webisode.

Are those going to lead anywhere or are these only snippets to remember us the show is still there ?
Boy, I sure wish I'd seen this story before the end of season 2 of Discovery - one huge arbitrary plot point wouldn't have been arbitrary at all.
Time is never wasted when it's "Tilly Time"!! And I liked the stowaway character too.
Is there nobody else on duty on that ship?
14 Minutes?? what's the point of this mini series.
it's spoiling the premise for the new series in January 2019.

[7.3/10] I definitely enjoyed this one. It’s nice for Tilly to get a spotlight episode, and the conflict could have filled a full length installment but still fit nicely into this fifteen-minute chunk. It’s funny, in some ways it feels like a corrective to the execrable “Elaan of Troyius” from The Original Series with a temperamental royal who’s bristling up against her resource-rich society’s expectation of her. Making it a female-led story about someone who is worried about what her people will become as they advance into the warp age rather than a retrograde taming of the shrew routine really improves that type of tale.
Tilly is as lovable as always, and her combination of self-doubt and creative competence is as winning as ever. That said, this episode wore its themes on its sleeve, and the dialogue was weak and on-the-nose at times. The idea that both Tilly and Po are “runaways” was nice but underlined a little too heavily, and all the “my planet is my twin” stuff was hit a little hard.
Still, this had a TNG throwback vibe to it, where the moral is a little heavy-handed, but the characters are enjoyable and the situation is unique enough to make it work. A nice little appetizer for the new season.
