Because dying is of course, what I did in the first time I attempted this. If I can do that then I will be one very happy Ouchi. It will be under impossible difficulty and I will not be doing anything crazy (Other than attempting the impossible of course) My goal is, first, to unite Japan.
I will be playing as the Ouchi, an OPM in Early Sengoku Japan. Who knows what wonders this has in store for me, let's find out. Sonequa Martin-Green is in fabulous form as Burnham’s wild-eyed, nearly manic mirror counterpart.īut it’s Michelle Yeoh who steals this scene, delivering Georgiou’s lines about growth and an unwritten future with absolute conviction, perfectly setting the stage for her character’s fate in the next episode.Okay, I recently discovered Terra Nova. But while Georgiou draws blood, she does not deliver the killing stroke. In true Star Trek style, Georgiou decides to write a different futureīy Terran standards, Mirror Burnham’s confession warrants her immediate execution. I’m especially impressed with how effectively Jones resurrects a fearful and hesitant Saru, after we’ve grown used to the strong and courageous version of the character in “our” universe during seasons two and three. This episode offers a lot of the topsy-turvy scheming and sadism we’ve come to expect from the Terran or “Mirror” Universe.īut I found one of the most compelling scenes the one in which Georgiou convinces Mirror Saru, whom she has spared by taking as her personal servant, to confirm that universe’s Burnham is plotting against her.īoth Michelle Yeoh and Doug Jones deliver terrific performances. “What are Michael and Lorca whispering in the dark?” The reveal of his true identity in “Terra Firma, Part 2” surprised me, but in retrospect shouldn’t have.Īfter all, what other famous Star Trek episode features a Star Dispatch headline announcing a woman’s horrible death? The back page even features an ad headlined “Good Soup!” (so soup can be comforting in Star Trek) and the tagline “Let Me Help!” It’s probably the cleverest Easter egg in the third season of Star Trek: Discovery. When Carl tells the women they should really read the paper, he’s not joking. Fun Star Trek connection: One of his early film roles was in Three Men and Baby, directed by Star Trek’s own Leonard Nimoy! On the snowy surface of Dannus V, Georgiou and Burnham encounter Carl, a kindly but cryptic “not quite” life form with a penchant for groan-worthy puns.Ĭarl is winningly played by Paul Guilfoyle, best known as CSI’s Captain Jim Brass. Soup may be comfort food in the real world, but in the Star Trek universe? It doesn’t seem to comfort anyone! “You really should just read the paper” I suspect it’s also a subtle homage to “Amok Time.” When Nurse Chapel brought the pon farr-stricken Spock a bowl of plomeek soup to try to make him feel better, he threw it at her. The exchange reinforces Georgiou’s stubborn and prideful refusal to accept help, lest she be seen as weak. When Tilly tries to show Georgiou some kindness in the mess hall, the former Terran Emperor responds by throwing her soup onto the ensign she calls “Saru’s walking command blunder.” Whatever the case, I’d love to know more about this ill-fated time soldier’s adventures. But I’m mostly geeking out thinking what his appearance represents: Our first glimpse of the Kelvin Timeline in its 24th century!ĭid the Star Trek: Discovery creative team go to the trouble of creating Yor simply for these few seconds on screen? Or will he figure prominently in stories set in an alternate version of the Star Trek: The Next Generation era? Sure, I feel bad Yor’s temporal and dimensional displacement was so great he was euthanized. Kovich explains the situation with the help of a holographic visual aid. Kovich, whom we first met in “Die Trying,” returns to diagnose Georgiou’s traumatic symptoms for Dr. Here are five moments from “Terra Firma, Part 1” that stood out for me.
The third season of Star Trek: Discovery begins its second two-part episode with the explanation of Georgiou’s physical and mental anguish, her voyage home to the Terran Universe, and-though we may not have realized it at the time-the return of an iconic Star Trek character.
