Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad
31 October 2017
A Time Loop episode, a staple of the Star Trek saga. So who gets to play the Data role? Of course it is the new, improved, slightly bonkers Stamets who figures that they have been living the same time period again and again. Almost like bad nightmare that might had once occurred to a teenage boy at a party.

Stamets approaches Burnham telling her that something is wrong but it is all clear as mudd, Harry Mudd who is after the secrets of Discovery's space drive propulsion system and sell it to the Klingons. Although the Klingons might be more interested in his time crystal so they can fight wars again and again until they win.

The episode belongs to Mudd, killing Lorca repeatedly and himself getting blown up loads of time just for some cash.

Burnham's feelings for Tyler though just gets in the way. The ending does not work. Should a person who takes over starship, endangers its crew, captures a protected space whale for nefarious purposes, colludes with an enemy during wartime, not face a trial?
