Brother
30 January 2019
Star Trek: Discovery returns for a second season. It has gone for a more lighter and upbeat tone and also looked into Trek history.

The first series ended with the Enterprise showing up with Captain Pike.

The second season looks like it will be exploring Captain Pike more. His ship is damaged and he takes command of the Discovery. He is investigating some mysterious signals that has taken priority.

For Burnham, seeing the Enterprise brings memories of her foster brother, Spock. However the Science officer accompanying Captain Pike is not Spock.

Captain Pike mindful with what the crew went through with Lorca, tries to bring them onside early. This Pike likes to keep to the rules like Picard but is also cavalier like Kirk.

When they go to the point where the signals might had been emanating from, they find a USS ship on the asteroid and go to rescue it.

This is a very fast paced episode, starting a new set of adventures. Captain Pike is fun. Some of it did verge on silliness, especially the pod scenes and then Burnham's rescue attempt of Pike.
