"Zora, I'm sure it's a fascinating experience, but perhaps you should deactivate your emotion subroutines for now."
Now the computer needs therapy mid-crisis? Discovery really has taken sappy and soapy to new heights. I've been fairly generous this season but boy, this rubbed me the wrong way.
- Pity it wasn't Nagilum. I was waiting for the DOT's camera to show Discovery ahead of it.
- Grey / Zora stuff in the bar was fine.
- Book - meh. Don't care.
- Starfleet - are you aware that one of the primary ships you have investigating the DMA is run by a sentient superintelligence that is exploring it's emotions and may have absorbed a touch too much angst of it's crew? Look into that!
The mystery box gets the perfunctory nudge with only two episodes to go before the primary reveal, followed by a two-part finale extravaganza. Can't say the extra-galactic tidbit did much to tantalise me.
As always, there are some decent moments sprinkled in there. A lot fewer this time round, unfortunately. My viewing experience with Disco tends to be when they go big on Burnham, I go sour. I might have liked the episode more had it not got in it's own way with the usual saccharine twaddle.
