lightofdayeWeekly review post.
Going into the episode called ‘Galactic Barrier’ and remembering how much season 2 leaned on TOS Lore, I was kind of expecting Silver eyes and Gary Mitchell psychic powers to come up at some point. (Nothing like this happened but there was a lot of mention of dangerous radiation and negative energies)
I keep forgetting to comment; Disco has some hellaciously long ‘teaser’ sections. This one was 15 minutes long before the opening credits.
This episode was… fine? It was comparatively low stakes even though they were going through the galactic barrier. The President and Burnham related a lot better. There was a tiny amount of progress between Saru and T’Rina which remains charming. And Gray is back. Hopefully this doesn’t herald the end of the nice Culber and Stamets scenes for the sake of gay dads scenes.
And seeking Turka’s backstory was pretty interesting even if we’d already heard it, it confirms a lot of it was true at least.
The new DMA threatening Earth and Ni’Var seems a little on the nose and cliché. Hopefully we’ll see the Disco crew remain true to their principles even in the case of this extreme provocation.
I can’t see how they’re going to introduce and solve the 10-C issue in the remaining (2?3?) episodes. It feels like they should be someone or something we know to speed up that process. It would be interesting if it was a post-TOS, famous TNG threat so Burnham and the President could have very different reactions to.
Still interested in what’s coming.
