Clearly, they have no clue what a flanking maneuver is. For some unexplained reason, the Alshains are able to follow the undynamic duo for many miles as they flee in a transport pod, but the moment Burnham and Book cower behind a tree stump, they're utterly flummoxed. It could've been a fun set piece, but it drags on far too long and as such falls victim to too many clichés.

It seems the indigenous population have a symbiotic relationship with other lifeforms and are able to utilize butterfly-like creatures in order to fly.

Remember these guys from "Star Trek Into Darkness"? Still, at least the writers are borrowing from Paramount.

No, instead we're handed a cliffhanger of profoundly out-of-proportion scale that jars spectacularly against the rest of the episode and to be perfectly honest, is far too much of a big deal to be used in the very first episode.

It mulls along, quite happily, quietly culture building for just under an hour then, 30 seconds before the end, WHAM! And we're not talking about '80s pop music sensation. But this first episode of Season 4, entitled "Kobayashi Maru" is somewhat unevenly paced. That was all brilliant, unquestionably some of the Very Best of "Discovery." The disappointing dilithium-destroying-delinquent story arc didn't really start until half way through. Then not long after, the Discovery crashed on a planet known as the Colony and Tilly (Mary Wiseman) and Saru (Doug Jones) found themselves at phaser-point in an alien saloon with a nasty character called Zareh (Jake Weber).Ī guide to visiting Alshain IV should include the fact that they respect royal hierarchies and don't eat meat. We got an awesome introduction to the city of Mercantile and an equally awesome introduction to Cleveland Booker (David Ajala). If you recall, the first few episodes of Season 3 of "Discovery" dealt with Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) landing on the planet Hima almost a year before the USS Discovery showed up, as a result of fluctuations in the massive jump undertaken at the end of Season 2. Even " Star Trek: Prodigy" - which is made specifically for children - doesn't underestimate its audience quite as badly as "Discovery" does. This is most definitely not the case with the fourth season opening episode of "Discovery." It feels like it's been deliberately dumbed down and produced for a super-easy-to-satisfy audience. Moreover, it's addictive and it's a page-turner I absolutely, positively must watch the next episode as soon as humanly possible, because I need to see what happens, because I want to know how the characters survive. It's not a crime to wish for cerebral sci-fi and "The Expanse" - for example - is certainly that.
