s4e11 The Disco recipe now is for something to happen, and then a lot of talk about it, and that ends with one character dropping some chunk of wisdom in a preachy way about being yourself, or being part of the team, or finding your place, or looking for the good in others, or remaining positive, or whatevs. It gets a bit tiresome.
The DMA is like Vger or another huge nameless advanced entity at the edge of the galaxy, and it's threatening Earth, Ni'Var (or the world formerly known as Vulcan), and Titan (but who cares about that?) The good guys want to use diplomacy but it's a species so advanced that they don't know how to communicate. The bad guys...well, bad guy, it's one psycho genius, he wants to use the energy to fuel his transporter to another dimension to find his prison lover.
Thank the maker for Tig. She comes back into play in this ep and takes over, redeeming all the dramatic feeling sharing with her ascerbic deadpan wit, and saves the ep.
e12 Everyone has to face making the ultimate sacrifice to save everyone else. Lots of space jargon. Some cool special effects. Still heavy on the swirling cinematography, enough to make me space sick, and so many lens flares. The home worlds are about to be destroyed and the alien #1 is playing footsie with the Ni'Var president? Oh come on. Thankfully Tig is still in play and even more ascerbic. Every snappy comeback she drops is spot on. She is my fav Disco character, even when she's talking about the death of her wife.
e13 The s4 finale...will they stick the landing? Oh so close. Those self sacrificing choices need to be made now. And they are. And it's sad. Super sad. Capt Burnham shows she can indeed act. But just as that was settling in.. oh no. A disney death. Wait, another disney death. Dammit Jim, did anyone really die? And then the kicker - if this show wasn't super liberal leftist - there's that cameo. I forgot I had heard about it so it caught me off guard and made me giggle. Okay, alright, that's pretty funny and cool in a way that made my libtard parts tingle.
This series could end here. It's a happy ending - everything is resolved and no cliffhanger. But...
