And "the good of the people" is because they found a way for him not to cause burns anymore...
It feels like a 3 parter. We could still see Sahil in the last part, or when they do a "That Hope is You, Part 2" episode next season.
"Turn that holodeck off and go play outside!"
The HMS Dibble.
Maybe someone else is pulling the strings, maybe Earth or Admiral Vance, hey he was a baddie on that other show .
I think that Season 3 feels the most Star Trek out of Discovery's run and the only problem with it is that it only got 13 episodes this season (it needs at least 15 episodes next time).
Picard only got ten episodes. Be grateful we're not there yet.
Yeah, I really hope DIS keeps getting 13-episode orders. I'd prefer more but with all the new shows going on (a first-world fan problem if ever there were one, but still) I can see them curbing everything to 10 with time.
Perhaps they're like the black widows, they kill the males when they're no longer able to reproduce...
Off-Topic but CBS All Access related: I only watched the first episode of the new Twilight Zone when it first came out. I decided to kill some time by watching the rest of the episodes. It's going to be a sloooooowwwww day, so I figured why not?
Then I noticed on the CBS All Access page, they have the option to watch those episodes in black-and-white! That just made my day. The Twilight Zone just doesn't feel right when it's in color.

I don't know. When color TVs came up people were willing to pay good money to have them... So my guess is this will get old pretty quick.
The show is offered in both color versions and black-and-white versions.
I just chose to watch it in black-and-white.
Certain things work better in black-and-white. The atmospherics, the moodiness, and eeriness work better that way.
And being born in 1979, I don't think I have the same perspective about B&W that either you or Discofan have. To you it's nostalgia. Because you actually remember when B&W TV was common. I don't. To me, it's more of an artform. We don't have the same perspective because we can't.
I'm not one to get outraged when old black-and-white films are colorized (as long as the originals exist) and I enjoy watching them as it makes those times feel more "real" to me. But The Twilight Zone is a case where I prefer the black-and-white because it adds to how surreal it is. It shouldn't feel "real". It should feel like a nightmare. And somehow black-and-white makes it seem more scary. I like not being able to tell if something is blood or not. I like the darkness and the different shades of gray add textures. And the lack of color allows me to proverbially color it in with my own imagination.
I've also done black-and-white photography and videography. Sometimes it's just the type of feel you're going for.

Black and white still has a great look.
Anyway, I've watched three episodes now. Out of order. It's pretty good. It's not the same as the original version, but I like it well enough in its own right. It feels creepy, tense, and had me in suspense in a few spots. And some of it turns things just plain upside down. It feels like what I always imagined in my head The Twilight Zone should feel like.
Picard was also supposed to be the most expensive Star Trek show ever made.
I have a feeling compensation for Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan, Avika Goldsman and Michael Chanbon ate a lot of that budget. Re-using CG from Discovery was pretty lame.
Perhaps. Even though I loved the show, the use of Shutterstock footage in the vision of the Admonition was bizarre.......
