I was pleasantly surprised by the Muppet episode. Was expecting a full on disaster, but it was actually quite watchable and had a point behind the whole thing.

Not to mention the Jim Henson team are masters and geniuses with what they do.

I think the show is really well cast which of course adds a lot. Spock, James Kirk, Scotty, M'Benga - all great. (The blind engineer in season one also) I don't really dislike anyone.

Agree. The cast of Discovery was pretty much forgettable. Other than Michael and Saru, I can't name a single one.

Interesting episode. Joe Morton was fantastic as Admiral Reeder

I love that they brought Kirk into the episode and gave the backstory of his father, as well as the interactions with his future crew members. I don't know if it will happen, but you can certainly see them setting up the next iteration after SNW and getting back to a series with the original crew of Star Trek.

I hope they can keep it together. Obviously Mbenga is leaving, would be interesting to see the new Bones and Spock relationship

I just watched "Off Hour" which I thought was a really good episode. Interesting. Suspenseful. Great moments for Chapel and Scotty.

The showdown between Reeder and Kirk was really good.

Mbenga doesn't have to leave, he is in TOS. he just isn't CHIEF Medical officer, Bones is. but he is in a couple episodes. But there was the other doctor as well in "the Cage"

The doc from "The Cage" is the one that treated Number One's broken leg a few episodes back, I believe.

I was getting Colonel Jessup vibes.

Crimson Tide

…and we went from that to Princess Bride.. ahem La'an.

Leave the story aside, the way the Paul Wesley played Kirk with the awkward pauses in his inflection was amazing.

I enjoyed the season 4 finale. Sets up the final season nicely.
