Some
episodes are pretty straightforward.
There’s one main story and maybe a side story. It might be personal growth that parallels a
major conflict. It might be a minor
conflict that interferes with a normal mission.
Then, there are episodes like Saints of Imperfection. It’s like, “Ok. Put down what you’re doing. I need you to pay attention.”
The
main thread here is that Tilly, the overeager captain-in-training, is trapped
in mycelial space. It’s up to Stamets to
save her. Ash Tyler is now posted to The
Discovery as a liaison to Section 31.
The ship finally catches up with Spock’s shuttle, bring it on board
and…it’s not Spock. Instead, they find
Georgiou, who’s also looking for Spock.
So,
the reason that Tilly was brought to mycelial space was that the spores needed
her to slay a monster. It’s not clear
why Tilly, specifically. However, this
monster is killing mycelial life forms and has to be stopped.
Stamets
finds a way to bring the Discovery into mycelial space and rescue Tilly. Before going back, they find this monster
that the spores want killed. As a
click-bait article might promise, you won’t believe who the monster is!
All
of the story lines are tied together by things that are out of place. Georgiou is not of our universe. Tilly is trying to find something not of the
mycelial universe. Ash appears human on
the outside, but is really Klingon on the inside. He’s not really welcomed in either world and
it’s about to get more complicated.
Speaking
of the mycelial network, it seems like we’re never really done with that. We get a full-on promise never to go
back…until we have to again. Then,
that’s the last time…until the next time.
But this is the last time. We
mean it!
And
for those of you reading these reviews as you’re watching the series, I feel
your pain. You can’t wait to see
Spock. I’m a few episodes ahead of
you. You’re not going to have to wait
long.
