STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, 2.4 – ‘An Obol for Charon’
After the disappointing “Point of Light“, Star Trek: Discovery thankfully returned to the intellectual spirit that fuelled “New Eden“, as both capture the essence...
STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, 2.3 – ‘Point of Light’
After last week’s comforting throwback “New Eden“, Star Trek: Discovery was back to its choppier self with “Point of Light”, lacking narrative focus and...
STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, 2.2 – ‘New Eden’
