#Best romulan warp core space drop full
Granted it's only been five months since dilithium was declared safe to use in warp cores once again, but we haven't seen or heard a whisper from Captain Ndoye (Phumzile Sitole) of the United Earth Defense Force since "Discovery" went full "Scooby-Doo" in the episode " People of Earth" last season (S03, E03). It's curious that the United Federation of Planets, and thus Starfleet too, have made no attempt to relocate on Earth. We cut to the briefing room back at Federation HQ. Naturally, Burnham accepts, thus ending Tilly's (Mary Wiseman) time in the role. Turns out he was offered command on the USS Sojourner, but he turned it down so that he could ask Burnham if he could be her First Officer.

Saru (Doug Jones) is an essential member of Discovery's crew and an essential member of the cast. Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) enters and attempts to console him, but he's not interested in company - any sort of company - and it's unlikely that you would be, especially so soon after such a tragedy. Book (David Ajala) has been in semi-permanent trance-like state and remains on the bridge of his ship, running the recordings of the last moments of his time on Kwejian over and over again. We pick up more or less right after last week's disappointing opener, although we learn that a couple of days have actually passed. And in this episode it really doesn't go anywhere at all. Moreover, these are just characters, not entire worlds.Īdd all that up and there isn't anywhere interesting for this show to go in the immediate future. The in-season elapsed time was such that the grief wasn't a plot point that would have to be incorporated for the rest of season. I'm not sure which one of these made me bawl my eyes out the most. The Robot in the "Lost in Space" episode "Eulogy" (S01, E06). Carson Beckett in the "Stargate: Atlantis" episode "Sunday" (S03, E17). Louanne "Kat" Katraine in the "Battlestar Galactica" episode "The Passage" (S03, E10).

There are examples of brilliant, even beautifully handled loss in other sci-fi shows. All Federation member and non-member worlds must work together to save the galaxy as we know it.
