So, I was wrong about the Red Angel.
An oddly frustrating episode — it felt very much like an entire additional episode had been cut from the running order as they jump straight from having no clue what was going on, to knowing who the Red Angel is (ostensibly) and finding out what the mysterious Project Daedalus is despite having literally only just learned of its existence.
Add on top of that the fact that the ‘trap’ makes no sense whatsoever because they don’t know that the Angel isn’t Burnham — if it was, then she would remember coming up with and discussing the plan and would know that she isn’t going to die, because she’s not dead.
So, yeah… not pleasantly surprised by this one.
Yeah, that one was a dud. Don't think I'm enjoying this season as much as the last, despite the steering back to more "recognizable" Trek. For all its flaws, at least Season 1 was trying to tread new ground. This one's just a hot mess.
I understand Burnham is the main character the show focuses on but her being the absolute center of quite literally EVERYthing potentially cataclysmic in the universe (twice now, if we're counting) is getting a little tiresome.
Also, while I'm all for dumping canon in favor of good story and character, and have given Discovery a lot of leeway, now it turns out Section 31 not only has time travel figured out but also technology to travel anywhere in the universe in a jiffy. It's a bit much, basically.
Ehh. Get off my lawn.
