![]() ![]() But this first episode of Season 4, entitled "Kobayashi Maru" is somewhat unevenly paced. That was all brilliant, unquestionably some of the Very Best of "Discovery." The disappointing dilithium-destroying-delinquent story arc didn't really start until half way through. Then not long after, the Discovery crashed on a planet known as the Colony and Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Saru (Doug Jones) found themselves at phaser-point in an alien saloon with a nasty character called Zareh (Jake Weber).Ī guide to visiting Alshain IV should include the fact that they respect royal hierarchies and don't eat meat. We got an awesome introduction to the city of Mercantile and an equally awesome introduction to Cleveland Booker (David Ajala). ![]() If you recall, the first few episodes of Season 3 of "Discovery" dealt with Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) landing on the planet Hima almost a year before the USS Discovery showed up, as a result of fluctuations in the massive jump undertaken at the end of Season 2. ![]() Even " Star Trek: Prodigy" - which is made specifically for children - doesn't underestimate its audience quite as badly as "Discovery" does. This is most definitely not the case with the fourth season opening episode of "Discovery." It feels like it's been deliberately dumbed down and produced for a super-easy-to-satisfy audience. Moreover, it's addictive and it's a page-turner I absolutely, positively must watch the next episode as soon as humanly possible, because I need to see what happens, because I want to know how the characters survive. It's not a crime to wish for cerebral sci-fi and "The Expanse" - for example - is certainly that. ![]()
