Right …
It’s a Saturday night: and I’ve just spent the past few minutes, filling in forms on the NHS website.
No, I ’m, not going to tell you why: frankly, I’d prefer to keep that one to myself.
It’s one of those rare, slightly embarrassing ones.
And, believe me, there’s not much that embarrasses me!
At any rate … ?
More tomorrow, folks!
15th November, 2020.
Right … it have to be said, I’m back … form dinner with my family …
Which was rather nice: even though it did involve talking about the sad death of Des O’Connor.
Thoughtfully thinking …
Well … all sorts: but mostly telling you about last night’s TV would be a good idea.
Yes: and as I’ve said last night?
~≈†≈~
Episode 2 — Far from Home — summarises the end of Season 2: from the view point of the USS Discovery, itself.
The pre-title sequence for the episode … ?
Showing us (temporary) Captain Saru (Doug Jones) and the rest of the crew slowly coming round in a failing ship: on a crash course for an asteroid … that courses the ship to crash on a nearby inhabited planet.
One that Ensign Tilly (Mary Wiseman) tells Saru, is inhabited.
By intelligent life …
By intelligent life that could well have Rubindium the crew needs to carry out a lot of vital repairs …
There’s only one option: much to the disgust of Section 31 member, Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh).
Make first contact with the planets inhabitants … whilst avoiding any trouble …
~≈†≈~
Now … what did I make of this episode … ?
Hmm …
I’ve had Far from Home on for the second time: whilst I’ve been writing this review.
When I watched it, last night?
I wasn’t necessarily stunned by the episode.
I honestly couldn’t tell you why, either: I suspect my ever murky mood had something to do with it.
Going through it, again, tonight … ?
Was a far better experience, to be honest.
Saying that … ?
Saying that, I’m thinking that That Hope Is You — the first episode of series three, and the one I saw last week — is the better episode.
It’s certainly the more optimistic, I think.
With that said? Far from Home is still a good episode: possibly one with a telegraphed happy ending, but certainly one that’s adding to the world building, and has reunited the crew.
Frankly?
I’ll be watching another episode next week.
I hope you’d care to join me.

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.
