![]() ![]() And, naturally, there’s a also new potentially world ending crisis, as the second DMA, the one which replaced the version Tarka destroyed last week, has like twice the power of its predecessor (great job, guys!) and is capable of mining at a much more rapid rate. Meanwhile, over on the Discovery, there’s some fun Stamets Science to save the day, which involves Heisenberg, spatial cells, and negative energy particles, which all somehow manage to allow the ship to travel through the Galactic Barrier and create a cool effect that visually desaturates the screen for a bit. ![]() Star Trek: Discovery’s Wilson Cruz Reveals Which TNG Icons Shaped Culber By Ryan Britt A move I am sure that Book in no way will come to deeply regret later on. But, of course, empathetic Book finds this all very moving, because he’s been a prisoner of the Emerald Chain himself and the shared memories of torture seem to, if not bond the two men, at least convince him that he shouldn’t kick Tarka off his ship immediately. Instead, we’ve had multiple episodes of him being a completely selfish jerk who has been completely out for his own ends, and now we’re supposed to feel bad for him because his lone friend has disappeared? Or has possibly built a functional interdimensional transporter to another supposedly heaven-like universe neither of them is even sure exists?Ĭry me a river, is what I’m saying. Perhaps, had the show handled Tarka’s evolution to this point differently and, say, showed us some (or, you know, any) of this guilt and torment he’s supposedly been carrying around for years prior to this moment or possibly indicated that he was capable of emotionally bonding with or caring about another sentient being. And his sappy backstory isn’t even that good! ![]() I mean, apologies if you were among the possible dozen people who were dying to see a sappy Ruon Tarka backstory episode about his time being held prisoner by the Emerald Chain, but I truly cannot fathom why the show thinks we are-or even should be-so invested in this character. Saru and President T’Rina might exchange weird plants again or have tea for five minutes.īut at this point, if they’re going to keep dragging out this whole Species 10-C reveal, Discovery has got to give us a better secondary story than what we got this week. And apparently, I am willing to sit through literally anything for the slightest chance that Mr. The addition of President Rillak has led to some useful and interesting debates about what the Federation as an institution is supposed to be in a post-Burn world. Sure, there have been plenty of great moments in these recent episodes: Sonequa Martin-Green and David Ajala have been selling the heck out of the philosophical and emotional conflict between Burnham and Book, and the show itself has largely been presenting different ideas about how to proceed with the issue of the DMA with a surprising amount of nuance and thoughtfulness. ![]()
