"After the U.S.S. Discovery crash-lands on a strange planet, the crew finds themselves racing against time to repair their ship. Meanwhile, Saru and Tilly embark on a perilous first-contact mission in hopes of finding Burnham." - TrekMovie.com
In the comments section for TrekMovie.com's article on the premiere, someone said… "Is it one of those stories where she doesn't meet up with Discovery until episode 3?"
And the response? "Why, yes it is."
It's a cliché or a trope or whatever but as you can see, they've chosen to go the all-too-familiar slow burn route with the main character not meeting up with the rest of the gang for a time. In the first episode we got Burnham's arrival in the 32nd century and in this one, we get Discovery's. Will Burnham actually meet up with the rest of the crew sooner rather than later? We'll see.
Too bad about the Iron Man suit. I liked it and it might have come in handy. But onward and forward as they say. It's season 3 and we're in for some new stuff. A lot of fans didn't think that they could top season 2 with Pike but in my opinion, so far, so good. I think they're well on their way to doing just that. Between a whole new setting, a galaxy that isn't what it used to be and some of the best production values we've seen to date, Trek feels new again and better than ever. The verdict is still out on that with a lot of the viewership though, so let's see what happens as everything falls into place.
