Woo! Not sick anymore! Still worn out, but feeling world better than last weekend. On a related note I will definitely miss some days on these reviews, but in general I am going to still aim for once a day. The episode tonight was one of my favorites on the first watching and it is still really good this time. The rare semi-bottle episode that still manages to push the Burnham/Tyler romance forward. We are halfway through the first season and getting close to the point where we learn why the thing Lorca has wanted more than anything is to keep Michael Burnham alive. She has believed up to this point that he just wanted her because she is smart and maybe willing to cross ethical lines, but he has all sorts of reasons of his own.
This is an amazing time loop episode that would almost be silly to summarize, but basically Mudd traps them all in a 30 minute time loop to try and steal the ship. Stamets somehow can remember events from across the loop like Mudd can though and teaches Burnham and Tyler to love and also saves the day in the end by outsmarting Mudd. Just watch this one. You wont regret it.
Yes, I am a sucker for time shenanigan stories, but this is a really good one. It is such a Discovery story in that it focuses hard on just its main characters, but manages to tell an interesting, clever and also heartfelt story that I just love.
9 out of 10
