Star Trek: Discovery – Discussion / Review
Star Trek: From the Holodeck is a fan broadcast dedicated to breaking down, analyzing and discussing all things Star Trek.
This week Mike and Dave discuss Star Trek: Discovery 4.01 ‘Kobayashi Marue’.
Topics Discussed:
- I’m going to break my critical professionalism and just say right from the beginning this episode felt right.
- It was a very strong opener — the initial 10 minutes, gave us a version of Burnham we have quite seen before.
- I liked the way the writers setup up the re-first contact with the Alshain — Using the concept of socio-miscommunication in a diplomatic context helps with reminding us all that the Federation was built on a foundation of a type of multiculturalism.
- In the ways of execution — directing, camera blocking, synergy — it was beautifully put together to create this feeling of cohesive synergy. It conveys the idea that this ship and her crew have their shit together.
- And more!
