Star Trek: Discovery 3.12 There is a Tide... review

There is a Tide...

Spoilers

The Penultimate episode of the third season. With Discovery under her control, Osyraa goes into Federation headquarters as the crew try to get their ship back. The plots are split between various crewmembers efforts and Osyraa's ploting. There is nothing about what is ocurring in the nebula, although that does play a role in Stamets' angst. The bridge crew are stuck in the ready room, but does Tilly succeed as a leader? More on that below. But first, Book and Burnham's race to get back to Federation headquarters was done very well.

The race for him to crash land in Discovery's Shuttle Bay was appropriately gripping. Then there is Vance and his officers trying to figure out what was going on. Sure, it does take a while for him to figure out that Osyraa is on Discovery, but not too long. Osyraa's plan was well thought out, although her being flat-footed by Vance sticking to the Federation's ideals by insisting that she will stand trial was a surprise. I would have thought she would have considered that it would come up at some point.

Just a small niggle. However Burnham's escapades in trying to take back the ship were done very well. Sure, loosing her boots was a reference to Die Hard (but McClane doesn't loose them in any of the next three movies), but I'm sure it wasn't necessary. Her confronting Stamets was rather good though. Stamets was being selfish in wanting to go back to the nebula before Osyraa is dealt with. Of course there will be consequences to what Burnham did to him, but that may not be covered in the next episode.

Osyraa trying to stop Discovery falling back into the crew's hands was done well too. (Poor Rin...) Tilly's planning was done well too. She did suceed as a leader in this situation. The Sphere Data (or is it Zora now?) in the DOT23s was a good touch. (Didn't remind me of WALL-E, Star Wars or Silent Running) too much. Would have liked more taking back of this ship in this episode, but what did happen was rather good. Maybe Osyraa could have tried to hold Vance hostage when he said she was stand trial?

But it was the second episode in a three episode sequence. Let's see what the finale will bring. 8.35/10.

Star Trek Discovery S3E12 - There Is A Tide... Review

It may be a new year but it's the same old problems for #StarTrekDiscovery S3E12 - There Is A Tide... #Review

*SPOILERS* “There Is A Tide…” brings “Star Trek” back to Shakespeare country, with a title borrowed from a passage in “Julius Caesar” – one which has been raided for titles before, not least of all by Agatha Christie. It’s actually a good thematic basis for this episode which deals with some surprising turns of events and looks at two rival empires who find themselves at very different ends of…

Star Trek Short Treks - ‘Q&A’ And ‘The Trouble With Edward’ Review

Ah, fall has returned, and with it, a bevy of new programming to take a look at. This season is really going to be heating up in the streaming world with the entry of Disney+, but CBS All Access isn’t just waiting idly by either. Wisely, they put off the premiere of ‘Star Trek: Picard’ so as to not directly go against the premieres of several new Marvel series and ‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian’ on Disney+, but to tide us over in the meantime we’ve got a new set of ‘Star Trek: Short Treks’.

‘Short Treks’ were introduced last season as a way to deepen the story of ‘Star Trek: Discovery.’ Most of the episodes would figure into the plotline of season 2 of ‘Discovery’ though it may not have been readily apparent at the time. One outing, ‘Calypso,’ would appear to tie into the upcoming third season of the show, so ‘Short Treks’ episodes would appear to have some reach.

That is what makes the first two episodes of the new batch so intriguing. Last season on ‘Discovery’ we were introduced not only to a younger Spock, but also some of his shipmates from his very early days aboard the Enterprise. While Captain Pike (Anson Mount) got plenty of screen time in the regular season, Number One (Rebecca Romijn) was effectively missing in action all season. ‘Q&A’ finally gives her a bit more to do as we travel backward in time to Spock’s first arrival on the Enterprise. We are given some insight into his path from the expressive and loud science officer we see in 'The Cage' to the logical and collected Vulcan we all know and love. Bonus knowledge - we also learn that Number One's first name is Una.

'The Trouble With Edward' tells the tale of the introduction of the Tribbles to the Klingon Empire. There are a few continuity issues with this episode, which some fans will find hard to overlook. I noticed said canon error but decided to overlook (mostly because I never really watched 'Enterprise') and enjoy the episode. This episode could have benefited from a bit more time to work out the dynamic between Captain Lynne Lucero (Rosa Salazar) and Edward Larkin (H. Jon Benjamin). Granted, Larkin does come across a little creepy immediately, but Lucero's move to transfer him off-ship strikes me as somewhat premature. Imagine if Picard had transferred Barclay off the Enterprise after his first unfortunate run-in.

What both of these episodes deliver is hope that we'll be spending some more time in this era of 'Star Trek' history. Especially with the crew of the Enterprise, pre-Kirk days. Captain Pike and his bridge crew deserve more screen time that we've been allowed, and these 'Short Trek' moments only serve to prove that point. Hopefully, by the end of the run of the upcoming 'Star Trek: Picard', CBS All Access will finally give Pike and company a chance.

Desperate Measures - recap

Publishing of this fic is about to slow down (for two reasons: one, most of my mental energy is being diverted to job hunting and two, up until this point I was revising and rewriting, but I’m about to hit uncharted waters) so I thought I’d put together this post as a refresher for people whose memories are as shitty as mine when the next chapters get published.

Spoilers under the cut in case you’re waiting until it’s finished to read this.

For those who read on, there will be a test at the end. Kidding. But I do have a favour to ask.

In the Prologue: Homecoming, set immediately after Endgame, Janeway and Chakotay allow personal misunderstandings to cause a breakdown in communication that leads to hurt feelings and estrangement.

(image by @themostpowerfulmagicofall, used with permission)

In Chapter 1: Coercion, we find out why the Voyager crew has been sequestered for two months, Chakotay x Seven is a thing, and we meet Fleet Admiral Nyla Kjogo (aka She Who Needs a Face-Punching) who blackmails Kathryn into a deal for her crew’s freedom which is not at all sweetened by a hollow promotion.

(gif by @fabricetuerk)

In Chapter 2: The Delta Quadrant’s Darling, Chakotay accepts a captaincy working to Owen Paris at Starfleet Intelligence and is promptly tasked with infiltrating the pirate merchants taking control of the Borderlands. Kjogo’s manoeuvring of Kathryn into an empty public relations role, and her orders to Kathryn’s aide Tora Jens to keep her separated from friends and family, starts Kathryn on a downward spiral into depression.

(image by unknown artist)

In Chapter 3: Turning Tides, Kathryn falls fast and hard for the charismatic Ryan Austin, while the bloom is definitely fading from Chakotay and Seven’s romance as Seven gets closer to Harry Kim ... and Kjogo’s meddling in Kathryn’s personal relationships comes to light.

(image by Camryn)

In Chapter 4: Imperium Ludum, Chakotay is unwillingly recruited by Section 31 agent Jonah Miles, whose revelations about the Entera Coalition conspiracy leave him stunned. Kathryn finally receives Chakotay’s undelivered messages but opts to protect herself emotionally by not rekindling their friendship, stepping up the intensity with Ryan instead.

(original manip by GillyH, further edited by me)

In Chapter 5: False Steps, Chakotay reluctantly embarks on a mission for Section 31 while Janeway starts to wonder what Admiral Kjogo’s agenda is, and when Chakotay and Kathryn come face to face for the first time in months, it initiates seismic changes in both of their intimate relationships.

(original image is a still from Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009); Chakotay/Mark/Kathryn manip by Tachyon, further edited by me)

In Chapter 6: Sheep’s Clothing, the shady Entera Coalition is expanding its power base, prompting another visit from Jonah Miles. Meanwhile, a showdown between Chakotay and Kathryn, suffering from an insidious ailment she’s refusing to acknowledge, ends up pushing them even further apart, and Kathryn has her doubts about Ryan’s new career in politics. And Chakotay turns out to be quite well-suited to the secret agent life, uncovering a few secrets Ryan would probably prefer stayed hidden, including an unexpected connection to a Voyager crew member.

(image by me)

In Chapter 7: Adrift, Kathryn’s health gets worse as she prepares for her wedding to Ryan, while Chakotay tries to warn her against her fiancé and completely cocks it up. When Ryan is elected to Federation Councillor, Admiral Kjogo and President Zife make it clear they expect Kathryn to morph into the perfect politician’s wife, and with Chakotay further estranged, not to mention absent on his Borderlands mission, the only person who seems to be on Kathryn’s side is her aide, Tora Jens. But does Jens have an ulterior motive of her own?

(image by me)

In Chapter 8: In Umbra, an increasingly disillusioned Chakotay is forced to compromise his principles to make inroads into Entera, angering his sister Sekaya. Kathryn’s life continues spiral out of her control until a chance meeting with Seven, whose simple, obvious happiness shines a harsh light on Kathryn’s own emotional turmoil. But before she can accept the truth she’s been denying, events take a devastating and horrifyingly personal turn.

(image by me, featuring L-R: Natalia (unnamed species) from Star Trek: Beyond; Sarek (Vulcan) and unnamed Andorian from Star Trek: Discovery; Ilia (Deltan) from Star Trek: The Motion Picture; Kash (Trialan, based on the doctor in Star Trek 2009); Chakotay)

In Chapter 9: Broke Down, Chakotay’s disgruntled Starfleet traitor persona finally convinces his contact, Kash, to ensure his acceptance into the Entera ranks. A pep talk from Owen Paris and the chance to escape Kjogo’s demands and Ryan’s treacherous influence for a few days gives Kathryn some breathing space. But fate has a strange way of playing its hand.

(Image by me, featuring L-R: unnamed female (Elloran) and Ru’afo (Son’a) from Star Trek: Insurrection; Jaylah (unnamed species) from Star Trek: Beyond; Gamora & Peter Quill from Guardians of the Galaxy (just because); Chakotay; Kash; Navaar (Orion) from Enterprise; Deanna Troi from the drinking scene in Star Trek: First Contact; Morn (Lurian) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Shran (Andorian) from Enterprise; Kathryn Janeway)

And that brings us up to date.

So now the favour.

Chapter 10 is cued up and ready to go, but thanks to the aforementioned stumbling blocks, I’m only in the early stages of drafting Chapter 11 so it’ll be a little while before it’s betaed, reworked and ready to post.

However, there’s still quite a bit of story to go, and the end of Chapter 10 does bring a natural intermission point. So here’s the thing. I could wait to post Chapter 10 until I’ve written enough ahead to be sure the hiatus between updates isn’t too long. Or I could post Chapter 10 now and hope you’ll all tune back in when I start publishing again.

If you’d like me to publish Chapter 10 now, please reblog this post or leave me a comment on AO3.

If this post gets 30 reblogs, or the AO3 comment count on Desperate Measures makes it to 230 comments, Chapter 10 will go up as soon as timezones permit, and you’ll all level up in karma.

I’m so grateful and appreciative of everyone who’s read, kudosed, reviewed and reblogged this fic so far, and especially worshipful of my patient and wonderful betas, @jhelenoftrek and @littleobsessions90. So if this seems like shameless begging for attention, that’s only because it is ♥︎

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY Review: “There Is A Tide…”

Star Trek: Discovery kicks into the propulsive second chapter of its three-part season finale this week, “There Is A Tide…,” as the captured starship becomes the setting for the Emerald Chain’s endgame at Starfleet Headquarters. I love a good episode in which our heroes must retake their ship — a longstanding Star Trek tradition, in classic episodes like “Basics,” “Chosen Realm,” “Shockwave,”…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 Episode 13 Review: That Hope is You, Part 2

https://ift.tt/3njhztH

This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 13

Star Trek Discovery wraps up its third season with a finale that’s equal parts action and empathy, and though the mix of the two doesn’t quite work as well as some viewers might like, the end result is fairly solid. Despite an occasional overreliance on fight sequences, “That Hope is You, Part 2” ultimately affirms the central messages of this season – that connection matters, the ways we care about people are important, that empathy is its own kind of superpower, both for ourselves and others.

In fact, I sort of wish this episode had doubled down even more on that lesson.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Don’t get me wrong, everything involving the retaking of the Discovery is fast-paced and entertaining, including several crazy near-death escapes that should not work at all but do, because this is still Star Trek after all. The sequence in which Michael and Book race/fight through the ship’s inner series of turbolifts is particularly intense and exciting to watch.

But as someone who is more than a little tired of Michael being the figure saving the day all the time – in this episode alone she rescues Book, kills Osyraa, comes up with a plan to jump the ship back to the Verubin Nebula, and takes over the captain’s chair– it’s the scenes with the Tilly and the rest of the Discovery bridge crew that really pack an emotional punch.

Star Trek: Discovery Just Challenged the Federation’s Fiscal Hypocrisy

By Ryan Britt

Perhaps it’s because it’s been three seasons now and we’ve had a little more time to get to know secondary characters like Detmer and Owo and Bryce. But their struggle to stay alive together, sharing their tiny oxygen tank and ultimately choosing to sacrifice themselves so that one might have a shot at blowing up the nacelle really got me. Especially Owo’s “I love you all” to the group.

That felt both necessary and earned. They’ve all been through so much together now. They’ve healed together. The group has gelled in a way this year that they hadn’t really before as a result of the insane journey they’ve all taken together, and I’d love to see Discovery really explore these relationships next season in significant ways.

That same sense of emotional connection is what ultimately drives the story back on the dilithium planet. Saru doesn’t prevent a second Burn with phasers or fighting but through empathy. By listening to the story of a frightened young man who didn’t know what to do with the mad that he felt and who unknowingly destroyed millions when he let it out.

“Even in fear, Su’Kal, you can still step forward,” Saru tells him, and if that’s not the lesson that maybe we all need to hear, right now at this particular global moment, I don’t know what is.

It is Saru’s kindness, his willingness to help Su’Kal face his own inner darkness and find hope again that ultimately wins the day. And after a season that has wrestled with emotional trauma on multiple levels, this feels like a particularly important note to end on. Maybe the fear doesn’t go away, completely. Darkness will always be present. But we can step out to meet it anyway.

This finale thematically bookends the Season 3 premiere, “That Hope is You, Part 1” nicely, which saw Michael adrift in a new world she doesn’t recognize. Over the course of this season, she’s forged a place for herself in this new future and struck a balance between who she in her own time and the woman that she has become in the wake of everything that’s happened to her since she left it.

The idea of Michael Burnham as the captain of the Discovery has a certain sense of inevitability about it, if only because we’ve all probably been expecting – or dreading, your mileage may vary on that point – it for years. After everything, is Michael truly Starfleet captain material? I honestly don’t know. She’s an out of the box thinker, a risk-taker, and a dedicated cheerleader for the Federation. She loves her crew, that’s for sure, and she believes down to her soul in what they stand for. And that counts for an awful lot.

But Michael is also much more interesting as a character when she has an authority figure or structure to push back against, rather than is herself in a role that requires her to make leadership choices herself. We’ll see how it goes, but there’s part of me that will always wonder if she might have been happier with Book do-good-ing around the galaxy on her own terms. The new uniforms are snazzy, though.

In the end, “That Hope Is You, Part 2” neatly manages to tie up most of the outstanding plot threads from this season, and give the group a mission for its next, one that seems to fit much more neatly into what we generally expect from a Star Trek series. Will Season 4 be more episodic in nature, as the crew jaunts through space delivering dilithium to far-flung planets, meeting new cultures, and exploring this vast new future along the way?

Getting to the future was so traumatic for the Discovery team – here’s hoping they (and, by extension, us) get the chance to see a bit more of what it looks like now.

Additional Thoughts

Have I ever been as pleased to see someone get unceremoniously kicked off a turbolift as that Zareh guy? What a jerk. He called Grudge fat!! Clearly, he deserved death.

Speaking of Book, yes the revelation that his mystical Doctor Doolittle abilities can talk to the spore drive was incredibly convenient, but I am wildly grateful that the show has given him a reason to stick around beyond his relationship with Michael.

I want Saru and Hugh to give me emotional pep talks when I’m doubting myself. Truly, Hugh’s determination to be everyone’s mental health counselor – even people he’s just met – is charming.

One of the best things about this finale series of episodes is getting to see Doug Jones act like an alien as a human. The way he still holds his body and moves as Saru does is so good.

As for Doug Jones, there’s no way this show is letting him go, right? I guess the question is more how will Saru return to Discovery? Will he indulge his obvious dorky dad energy and show Su’Kal the stars he’s missed all his life? Will he be Michael’s Number One?

It sort of sucks that we didn’t really get to see a follow-up scene between Michael and Stamets after she basically ejected him out of an airlock last week. Truly, she did the right thing, but no matter how relieved they both must be that it all turned out okay in the end, that first meeting must have been awkward.

TL;DR – The awkward middle-episode of the three-part season finale ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
