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 …

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.
