Down that way … ?!
Ha … !
Or possibly even hmmm …
Did I tell you I recently managed to pick up a cheap webcam, recently?
I’ve figured out that the mic works … occasionally, it seems.
But at least enough to record some video of yours truly, actually asking quiz questions: rather than relying on slideshows.
Trust me, it’s not especially clever, or pretty.
But is starting to … you know … give me a taste for the camera.
~≈§≈~
At any rate … ?
At ANY rate, me wittering on about a new found taste for vlogging superstardom is sort of beside the point.
The actual point?
Is that both the video — and the cheesy video self portrait — is to tell you I’ve seen The Wolf Inside, this week’s episode of Star Trek: Discovery.
And, yes, the series is still looking rather good.
~≈§≈~
Episode 11 — The Wolf Inside — follows directly on from last week’s episode, Despite Yourself.
Opening with a personal log entry from Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), masquerading as her Mirror Universe self, tells us exactly how conflicted she feels, pretending to be a senior commander in the Terran Empire’s fleet.
She’s even more conflicted when, having found a rebel base, she’s ordered to destroy it with extreme prejudice.
So pays it a visit: pretending to her crew she’s planning a single handed attack …
To cover the fact she’s keen to warn the rebel leader: a Klingon called Voq, son of none …
You can tell Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) is going to have a bad day, can’t you … ?
~≈§≈~
Now … ?
Good … ?
Very much so, actually.
Granted the bombshell that Ash’s true identity — as a surgically altered Voq, spying on the Discovery — has been telescoped for a while: both by the various flashbacks, AND by fan rumour.
Nonetheless? It, and Burnham’s seizing of the much details of the USS Defiant* closes off this second episode …
Only to introduce us to Emperor Philippa Georgia (Michelle Yeoh).
Right now?
The phrase “Tune in, NEXT time!” springs lovingly to mind.
I don’t know if you will.
But I will!
* The Defiant (NCC1764) originally appeared in Classic Star Trek episode, The Tholian Web: appeared, and subsequently vanished. Various episodes since has assumed that it cropped up in the Mirror Universe.

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.
