Can I make a confession, here?
Right now, I’m …
Well …
Tired …
I’ve been up since Monday morning: have arranged a dental appointment, been to work, come home — at just gone eleven — and managed to watch the most recent episode of Star Trek: Discovery.
Possibly not the best thing for someone my age to be doing.
But … ?
Well, it’s Monday night.
And Monday night Star Trek is a thing.
~≈Â≈~
Episode 6 — Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad — opens with a party on-board the Discovery: interrupted when Michael (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Ash (Shazad Latif) called to the bridge.
It seems the ship has almost hit a space-going creature that needs to be taken to a place of safety.
What the crew don’t realise is the beast has an unwelcome parasite.
In the shape of a Mr Harcourt Fenton Mudd (Rainn Wilson).
It Seems Mudd has both plans …
And plenty of time.

Now …
Did I enjoy the episode?
Yes, I did: although the story idea — the crew of the Discovery caught in a time loop — has been used before.
But it’s nice to see it done, again: and with a certain amount of pace.
Roll on next week: we’ll see if I’m posting before midnight … !

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
