STAR TREK DISCOVERY season three continues...
Four episodes in, and still going exceptionally strong. Like previous Trek series incarnations, Disco seems to be following the season three pattern where the writers/producers have a better handle on the characters and tone of the show.
Michael is excellent. I love her evolution as a character this season. And Saru.... what can I say about this beloved character? He has come a LONG WAY since season one and it is very satisfying to see him assume the Captain's mantle. In fact, all the bridge crew are getting spotlight moments and being fleshed out more. Even Georgeou has been enjoyable! Yeoh plays her role as the Dissenting Voice with the knife cutting precision of comedy and malice.
The pacing seems better this season. Not as hyper accelerated as previous seasons, with the character beats feeling more natural and less plot motivated. And thankfully so far, no "look at the super cool and pointless (and dizzying) camera movements" we can do. lol
While still a serialized action quest show, the producers have wisely kept the TOS flavoured planet of the week element from last season, sprinkled with the perfect amount of current social commentary. But most of all, the show is really doing the Deep Dive into Hope and Optimism. I can honestly say, by the end of each episode, I feel uplifted and rejuvenated. Good stuff!
