Turns out there was too much juicy goodness in the Star Trek Discovery season finale "Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2" that we needed to break this second part up into two additional parts. Part two will be dropping real shortly, so let the almost obscene number of events that transpire in the first half marinate until then.

If last episode was largely a setup for the finale, than this is.. well. This is another setup for the finale. That's not to say it doesn't have some great moments! Burnham has a few poignant goodbyes, we see another Short Trek come into play with the arrival of her Serene Highness Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, everyone figures out that future Michael Burnham is sending the red signals, and Pike says goodbye to the crew of the Discovery.

There's a weird balance in this week's Star Trek Discovery where there is a lot of stuff happening, but a lot of it not feeling very consequential. Pike gazes into the looking glass and finds a future that elicits a reaction much like Carol Marcus' in Star Trek Into Darkness when Khan killed her father. A time crystal is procured, and all they lack is a suit to install it in, or the energy of a supernova to power it. Leland is nowhere to be found in this episode, but that doesn't mean the buddy team-up between Spock and Burnham is safe from Control. This episode was written by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt, and has Douglas Aarniokoski back again in the director's chair.

The greatest mystery of season two is finally resolved as we learn whose face hides under that Red Angel mask. We have mixed reactions to this revelation.
Michael Burnham repairs relationships with the men in her life, but the unexpected return of a woman into her life is really messing with her head. One woman that doesn't seem like she's going to return to Burnham's life? Airiam cuz they just dumped her out into space.
Leland needs an eye exam.

Even though Discovery went rogue just last week, "Project Daedalus" has them teaming up with a Starfleet admiral to cause a ruckus. This time they're heading over to that troublesome Section 31 to depose the Logic Extremist at the top. As happens from time to time in the Star Trek universe, things don't turn out to be exactly as they seem.
Directed by Star Trek veteran Jonathan Frakes, and written by newcomer to the franchise Michelle Paradise. She's written a bunch of episodes of CW's "The Originals" so don't go thinking she's a rookie.
This episode also has Jayne Brooke returning as Admiral Cornwell, and Hannah Cheesman in what seems to be a pretty momentous episode for Airiam.

In which Joe and Jason both gradually convince each other that Star Trek Discovery is picking up the unresolved thread of the Temporal Cold War from Star Trek: Enterprise. The Discovery encounters a time rift above Kaminar, so Captain Pike and our man Voq decide to fly into it. This yields mixed results. They don't die, but they are attacked by a Sentinel from 1999's The Matrix. Burnham misses it all because she's home on Vulcan in the middle of some serious family drama, where Amanda has been secretly hiding Spock for God knows how long. Sarek tells Burnham to turn him into Section 31, but Emperor Georgiou says that's a bad move and helps her escape. So instead, they set course for to Talos IV.
