Finally managed to catch up.
For the most part it’s a nice little character development episode and really enjoyable, not something discovery does often.
Good interweaving storylines and characters are changing the places they were in. By the way, is it me or they are hinting at the possibility of Tilly leaving?
Great that Grey has a body again, closing the cycle they started with last season and the resolution of Book’s grief was a bit obvious but still quite ok and very well inserted in the anomaly plot.
For the first time possibly ever I like a Discovery ship design (with the ship seen at the beginning), although the internals were still the usual gloomy nondescript ones they seem to like so much. The action sequence was also great.
The idea of the not a moon was good as was the reason for the grave robbers being interested (so latinum is still a thing!).
The interaction between Michael, Tilly and Gabrielle was ok.
The really awful part was the reason for the crimes and how it’s solved. So this nun figures that she has to steal and kill on a massive scale and doesn’t think that perhaps there are much better ways to fulfill her mission and that it can’t be right for the definitely not a moon to be in orbit of its destination for so long without doing nothing? And the previous guardian was there for who knows how long and didn’t find a way to solve the issue but Michael does in two minutes using alien technology? Riiight.
- Would easily be an 8 without the incredibly contrived part.
Still the best episode this season so far, though.
