Star Trek: Discovery Episode 3.8 Review: Ups And Downs From The Sanctuary

10. Culber And Georgiou (UP)

This week, we open on the scene between Culber and Georgiou. She is in full snark mode, while he is having none of it. His bedside manner, however, is perfect for her - she can attempt to hide from her situation all that she likes, but there is no escaping the truth of that fact that there is something very wrong with her.

While the episode itself doesn't do much to advance this particular story beat - other than to reveal that she is facing death if she goes untreated - the interplay between these two characters marks a high point of the show. Wilson Cruz and Michelle Yeoh clearly enjoy their scenes together and as a viewer, I enjoyed it too.

This is the first time we get to see Culber's office as well, combined with some of the new tech that Discovery has been given for sickbay. There is also a welcome, if brief, return of Dr. Pollard.
