Flat … is possibly the word …
Especially if you’ve read this morning’s Teaser: you’de rrealise my phone is giving me a problem or two.
The root of it, at the moment?
Is looking like an ageing battery … combined with another knackered charging cable!
I’ve got a few options, there: but at the moment? At the moment, replacing the cable, until I’ve enough cash to buy a replacement.
Hopefully?
That should be within the next week or two.

At any rate … ?
At any rate, today is a Thursday: and the first chance I’ve had to catch up with some TV.
You’ve not been paying attention …

Episode 14 — Will You Take My Hand? — opens: with Emperor Georgiou — Michelle Yeoh — taking command of the Discovery: to the consternation of the crew.
Once at the Klingon home world, Qo’noS*, the official plan is to sneak Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), Ash (Shazad Latif), Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Georgiou into the Orion embassy on Qo’noS.
An embassy built over an extinct volcano, and that — apparanently — can be used to attack the Klingon capital.
What Michael, Ash and Tilly don’t know — until an amusing incident with an Orion drug dealer — is that’s not what Georgiou has planned.
Oh, no.
The former Emperor wants this version of Qo’noS to end up as barren as the on in her universe …

Now …
Flat … ?
That’s possibly doing Will You Take My Hand? a dis-service.
But something I feel has some thing of a grain of truth to it.
It strikes me this episode was a low key one: concentrating more on tying up the story strands, than it does with telling an exciting story.
Although tell the story it does, does well … and perfectly enjoyably, too.
However? I think it was more about tying up those ends …
And setting up a next season.
With a version of the USS Enterprise — the classic NCC 1701 Enterprise — hoving into view at the episode’s climax? Complete with Captain Pike in charge?
It could get sticky …
Sticky, yes …
But if a potential second season is of the same quality as this first has — over all — been?
It’s still something I’d like to watch.
* It’s pronounced CROW-nos, CROW-nosh or CREW-nos … depending on the actor, director, writer, false teeth†, et-cetera …
† It’s true. The Klingon actors all have falsies …

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.
