I just finished re-watching s2e14, the end of season 2 of Discovery. The first time I watched it, I thought there was an awful lot going on in one episode, and I had a hard time following all the plots at once as they ran down the hallway with time suit pieces. Now, I still think there's a whole lot going on, but I really love this episode and end of a season. Among various other wonderful bits, I love snarky Commander Nhan and how well she gets along with formerly-Empress Georgiou. I don't think we knew enough about Nhan before this episode to predict that. Losing Admiral Cornwell hit me hard for a fairly minor character. I really liked her: the fact that a psychologist gets promoted to admiral, and how she functions as a woman in command. And that she's older and not aiming for conventionally pretty. I really appreciated the emotional scenes between Culber & Stamets, and between Spock and Michael. They even had a decent reason why Spock and Michael should spend that time talking instead of just going already, since Discovery's shields weren't up yet at the time. For the sake of their parents, I'm glad Spock stayed behind at the last minute. I had forgotten how much Klingon language usage was in this episode, when L'Rell shows up, talking with Tyler, and I always enjoy well-done Klingon language lines. Both those actors are really good at it. I loved having Kaminar with Siranna in the lead, along with the Klingons under L'Rell's command, turn up to save the day, and I enjoyed that that wasn't at the last minute. The Kelpians have come a long way, and it's nice to get confirmation of that before we head off to the future. Georgiou is already showing some signs of the character development she's undergoing by being around people with ethics. I like how it sets Pike and Spock up for the issues about the direction of their lives that they're going to have to deal with in SNW. There are a few things I don't like about this episode, like the whole premise that they have to send the data into the future to save life in the galaxy and that's the only solution, or the fact that they count on that future suit technology working on the first try, or how much it relies on "destiny," but I'm happy to overlook those for the sake of this excellent, if rushed, episode. I really love the development of Michael and Spock's relationship throughout this season, especially. We don't get very many well worked out sibling relationships in Trek generally. #StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery
