Star Trek Discovery — Series 3 Episode 9 — Terra Firma Pt 1 — A Review

3rd January, 2021.


Right … 

Right at the moment, it’s late — ish — on a Sunday night.

I’ve had dinner: and have to confess, I make a mean spaghetti sauce.

And, frankly?

Right at the moment, I want to go to bed: with a good read.

I’ve some Arthur Machen to read.

But?

But I want to get started on this post: to tell you about the next episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third series that I’d seen.

~≈🖖🏻≈~


Episode 9 — Terra Firma Pt 1 — opens with the usual summary of previous episodes.

Then shifts to Discovery’s medical bay.

Where Dr Culber (Wilson Cruz) is getting a briefing about Philippa Georgiou’s (Michelle Yeoh) health: from the mysterious Kovich (David Cronenberg).

Seemingly?

The Emporer share’s a lot with the long gone Starfleet officer, Lieutenant Commander Yor: who’d been a soldier during the Temporal Wars.

Time travel does damage: and having travelled forward in time, and across from the Mirror Universe?

Georgiou is going going to get seriously ill.

Unless she get’s taken, very specifically, to a planet called Dannus 5.

With all this going on … ?   The fact the Commander Stamets and Adira (Anthony Rapp and Blu Del Barrio) decode the mysterious distress signal, and find it’s from a Kelpian ship?

Almost gets overlooked … 

~≈🖖🏻≈~

Now … 

You’ll excuse me if I get a little short with Terra Firma Pt 1.

It’s been a busy — ish — few days for me.

So far?

So far, Terra Firma Pt 1 looks good.

But isn’t the complete story.

I’ll be able to give a fuller and better picture, next Sunday.

By then?

I’ll be able to tell you more.

See you then!
