The sun sets and a new day begins.”Īll we learn about the Red Angel through this is that it has “challenged” Spock’s perception of reality. Spock is especially triggered when Burnham drags Sarek’s judgmental nature into the mix, bringing all the Vulcan daddy issues bubbling to the surface, with Spock quipping: “I disappoint him. Instead of centering his logic, her proposed game of three-dimensional chess results in a shouting match with each accusing the other of arrogance. Hints of Spock’s feelings come early in the episode as he coldly corrects Admiral Cornwell, noting his relation to Burnham is “not by blood.” He also lands a sick burn regarding her spartan personal quarters, telling her “It is quite an accomplishment to be mundane.” But as she prods him more, his Vulcan control unwinds. Her efforts to learn more end up revealing little about the Red Angel but dig up a whole lot of family baggage. Spock thinks the Angel simply traveled through time to warn him-and only him-of the coming danger, no big whoop. Spock and Burnham have been tasked to dig into the mystery of the Red Angel and its connection to the seven signals, but are unable to work out if the Angel is responsible for them or only following them around. Have you done something different with your eyes? They are more ominous than I remember Family Feud All the writing for Airiam here lays it on fast-and a bit thick-but Hannah Cheesman steps up to the plate in this episode, which moves Airiam up to the front burner for the first time. She now keeps a vial of sand from the beach location of her last memory of him. To add overdramatic insult to injury, it happened right after their honeymoon. The origin story of how she went from human to cybernetically augmented was left to inference, with indications that it was the result of injuries sustained following a shuttle accident that killed her husband. We also witness how she cherishes simple everyday memories of hanging with her pals on board Discovery, and see her palling around with Tilly, Owo, Detmer, Rhys, and of course, Burnham.
TREK SUBVERT PRICE ARCHIVE
Setting up the technical framing device of how Airiam has to manually choose what memories to archive or delete, we see through her eyes how she used to be entirely human and happily married. This is the machine that goes “ping”! What’s My Line?Ī major subplot for this episode is the long-anticipated backstory of Lt. He also orders Burnham to a B-plot to get to the bottom of why the Red Angel is so obsessed with Spock. One person who might be able to help sort all this out would be Section 31 agent (but not such a bad guy when you really get to know him) Ash Tyler, but Pike issues orders for him to not appear in this episode. Pike takes up Cornwell’s mission to head to Section 31’s secret base to arrest Patar and regain control … of Control. The top brass has grown to rely heavily on Section 31’s “Control” computer system that offers strategic analysis. Turns out Patar is a Vulcan logic extremist and has cut off all communication with Starfleet. However, the surveillance footage of him phasering his way out of a Starfleet psych ward is hard for her to ignore.Ĭornwell eventually reveals she also has issues with Section 31, but her beef is with the Vulcan at the top, Admiral Patar, who was introduced in the previous episode. After giving him the 23 rd-century version of a lie-detector test-which is amazingly revealed to be “100% accurate”-she believes he at least thinks he is telling the truth.
Not there to pick sides over Pike’s Section 31 beef, her focus is to interrogate Spock, who briefs her on the Red Angel’s warning that all sentient life is going to be wiped out. Admiral Cornwell rendezvouses with the ship on a secret mission of her own. The ship has been deemed a fugitive vessel by Starfleet for harboring Spock, who is still wanted for murder, and for visiting the forbidden planet Talos IV.
