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 … !
