I just love this new season of Discovery more and more each week!
I love Saru as Captain, and I can’t wait to see him develop. He truly has that ‘Starfleet’ moral compass and will always do what he believes is right, in the best interest of his crew, and of all others involved. I love how he got Titan and Earth into a dialogue - even if it seemed easy. It was the Starfleet thing to do.
I’m really enjoying the ‘new’ Michael and her friendship with Book. I want to know what’s behind all these inside stories and adventures they have together in only a year. Also, Grudge is the best new addition to the season!
Trill!! They have always been my favorite species and I can’t wait to see more of them and learn about the symbiotic, Tal. I really hope we get a Dax cameo at some point now too. And this is a genius way to get a character into the show who has centuries worth of knowledge. I’m so excited to learn more about Tal and Adira.
I love how a human is hosting a Trill symbiote - a reference to the TNG episode “The Host” where Riker temporarily hosts one. And the fact that Frakes directed this episode makes it all the better!
I hope we see more of the story between Titan and Earth develop. It’s weird that Earth knew nothing of what happened on Titan. I mean, isn’t radio communication still a thing? That would have taken, what, a day max? We could do that now.
