She also wrote ...But to Connect which had a real shortage of nuns with swords, but somehow won people over regardless as it's got the highest score in the episode polls. But then people have rated Choose to Live as one of the better episodes as well.
I found Choose to Live to be one of the worst Disco episodes ever. But to Connect is better but the bar was pretty far down. I may be alone in this I find this the weakest season of Discovery by a long margin. Others feel the opposite. But there is an acceptance of plot holes that is large, even by Star Trek standards, a main plot that moves along glacially, this refusal to allow characters to have anything like natural dialogue, especially Burnham, as SMG seems to be intent on or directed to whisper her monologues and side plots like Adira/Grey, or Culber's untreated issues that don't seem to go anywhere or have much point. edit: she also produces and writes for Warrior Nun.
I hadn't thought of this. I'm remembering something about the first episode with the butterfly/moth-y species. Michael says something like, "That's why I brought you along; to do that thing you do." to Book. (paraphrased) Maybe Book will do "that thing," not because he wants to, but because 10C utilizes him to communicate. If not in this episode, then perhaps in one of the last two episodes.
