Disco 2.03 - "Point of Light"
Feb. 2nd, 2019 10:09 amI started writing up a Disco post, then realised I'd just end up repeating myself on my blog in a few days' time.
Suffice to say, the last couple of weeks have represented a very restrained, traditional type of Star Trek, which is not inherently bad, but I was concerned that Discovery is playing it safe in season 2, and consequently pulling back on some of the things that made me love season 1.
Fortunately, this week marks a return to TWISTS and TURNS and SHENANIGANS and QUESTIONABLE PACING DECISIONS, and that only describes two of the three-and-a-half plotlines.
Remember, the term "space opera" was derived from "soap opera". I AM DELIGHTED BY EVERYTHING THIS STUPID SHOW IS CHOOSING TO BE.
Okay, well, I do have some notes. But that's half the fun.
Also the official website is selling Section 31 merch, and I don't need it, but I want it, and I'm also very ashamed of that.
