Disco Night: A Star Trek Discovery Podcast Disco Night

Part Two of a two parter about a two parter! We wrap our up discussion of Star Trek Discovery's season 2 finale and make a few wild stabs in the dark about season 3 and beyond. 
This episode was written by Michelle Paradise, Jenny Lumet, and Alex Kurtzman with Olatunde Osunsanmi directing.

Turns out there was too much juicy goodness in the Star Trek Discovery season finale "Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2" that we needed to break this second part up into two additional parts. Part two will be dropping real shortly, so let the almost obscene number of events that transpire in the first half marinate until then.

If last episode was largely a setup for the finale, than this is.. well. This is another setup for the finale. That's not to say it doesn't have some great moments! Burnham has a few poignant goodbyes, we see another Short Trek come into play with the arrival of her Serene Highness Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, everyone figures out that future Michael Burnham is sending the red signals, and Pike says goodbye to the crew of the Discovery.

There's a weird balance in this week's Star Trek Discovery where there is a lot of stuff happening, but a lot of it not feeling very consequential. Pike gazes into the looking glass and finds a future that elicits a reaction much like Carol Marcus' in Star Trek Into Darkness when Khan killed her father. A time crystal is procured, and all they lack is a suit to install it in, or the energy of a supernova to power it. Leland is nowhere to be found in this episode, but that doesn't mean the buddy team-up between Spock and Burnham is safe from Control.
 
This episode was written by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt, and has Douglas Aarniokoski back again in the director's chair.

Sonequa Martin-Green puts on an acting clinic in the latest Star Trek Discovery episode "Perpetual Infinity," all while Michael Burnham is working through some serious mom issues. 
Alan Van Sprang's Leland kinda recovers from getting stabbed in the eyes last week, and gets to paying the stabbing thing forward to Ash Tyler. 
Sonja Sohn gets a lot of screen time in this episode as Michael Burnham's mother, and hot damn is she stupendous. Competing for that maternal role is Michelle Yeoh as Mirror Georgiou.

The greatest mystery of season two is finally resolved as we learn whose face hides under that Red Angel mask. We have mixed reactions to this revelation. 
Michael Burnham repairs relationships with the men in her life, but the unexpected return of a woman into her life is really messing with her head. One woman that doesn't seem like she's going to return to Burnham's life? Airiam cuz they just dumped her out into space.
Leland needs an eye exam.
