OK, Friday … ?
Yes: it’s a Friday.
And it’s one that’s been am … interesting day.
One where I had a telephone interview, this morning: and got the happy news that I’ve got the face to face interview … at eleven thirty, next Friday.
Nervous?
Yes … !
I’m always nervous at interviews.
But I’ll at least have time to look up where the place is, in relation to the nearest station.
And?
Well, brush up on my interview technique.

The other thing to mention?
Is that it’s Friday …
Which you and I have both worked out: haven’t we?
Which you and I have both worked out: haven’t we?
At any rate: yes, it’s Friday.
I’m getting used to this …

Following almost directly from last week’s episode, episode 13 — Such Sweet Sorrow — shows us Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and Commander Saru (Doug Jones) setting up the remote self destruct option on the USS Discovery: so that the ship does NOT get captured by Captain Leland of Section 31.
The Data Sphere’s that’s wormed its way into the ship’s systems?
Must NOT be captured by Leland (Alan van Sprang), as it means Control — Starfleet’s homicidal AI — would finally become perfect.
The only problem … ?
The Discovery can’t be destroyed: as the Data Sphere is protecting it.
The Discovery can’t be destroyed: as the Data Sphere is protecting it.
The only way around this, as Michael (Sonequa Martin-Green) soon realises?
Is to build a time suit.
The crew are going to have to take the Discovery seriously out of reach.
Taking Michael with it.
Because of the way it was set up?
She’s the only operator: of what’s going to be a one way trip …

Now …
Are we looking at a good episode?
Yes we are, actually.
Such Sweet Sorrow is a big, emotional episode: one that’s building up to a big climax next week, but leaves us expecting doom and gloom, in the meantime.
It leaves us wondering which of the series regulars we’re going to be deprived of, next week: as it shows us each of the regulars sending letter home.
Letters that aren’t expecting replies.
We’ll have to see, won’t we?
’Til then?
Expect Such Sweet Sorrow to hit you with rousing speeches …
And tug the heart strings with tearjerking moments …

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.
* 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.
