Wow, last mission sounds sad. Saru is one of the franchise's best characters.

Rayner is Indiana Jones, except in full abrasive mode.
Tilly's got perfect '80s hair.

Ended with a twist I didn't see coming.
This whole season is basically a sequel to TNG’s “The Chase” which is one of my favorite episodes.
I'm kind of mixed on the premiere. Choosing to do a sequel to one of my favourite episodes of TNG is going to make me criticize the season more than I otherwise would, and right now I'm just not that impressed with their take on it. Taken in a vacuum, the Season 4 premiere just felt better written to me (although ultimately I didn't like S4 because it took 13 hours to tell a story that should have maybe been a 4-parter).
(Resurgence is also a sequel to a TNG episode, but it's an S1 episode that no one cares about and it came as a pleasant surprise that they told a great story from it, so I acknowledge that it's possible. Just the stakes and the bar is much higher with this sequel)
It also does the time skip thing where characters have the exposition their way to character development, which I just find grating in any context. It's not as bad as Picard S3 where everyone has to do it since they both rebooted the show and also reintroduced the entire TNG cast, but it's a lot of people loudly proclaiming their current status.
Also not to compare against Picard again, but Rayner is how Shaw should have been written and I'm really glad to see Callum Keith Rennie again.
Ultimately, I'm hoping that the show can end well and improve on the premiere. It's fine I guess, even if I didn't like it as much as the S4 start. Having watched Prodigy S2, that is now my bar for the best Star Trek story told in this current iteration of the franchise so I hope Discovery S5 can come close to it.

Pleasantly surprised by the first two episodes of the season. DSC's been on more or less an upward trajectory in storytelling quality and consistency since the start of Season 3 so I'm hoping the Progenitor story arc closes the series on a high note.
I really loved the action packed first 2 eps, lots of fun.
I was a little less enthused with this one than I was the premiere. I may have nodded off with the 3-4 minutes straight of technoblabble as they tried to deal with the drones. But I do like the continued Indiana Jones vibe this season has. Rayner joining the Disco crew is good. He’s a breath of fresh air. Even if I do wonder if he’ll be more liability than asset in the long run.
The Promellians were some savage bastards, weren't they? EVERYTHING IS A BOOBY TRAP WITH THEM.
