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 people comment. 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 adult. 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.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
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.
