Star Trek: Discovery - Ups And Downs For Season 3 Episode 4 Forget Me Not

9. Culber's Log Entry (UP)

The opening of the episode is a fantastic example of Wilson Cruz getting a chance to shine. He records the medical officer's log (supplemental) and comments on the crew's mental state. Now that, as he says, the ship has had a chance to breathe - the crew are beginning to realise what exactly they have been through.

In many ways, this part of the season feels similar to early episodes of Battlestar Galactica. The crew truly has lost everything - they have no home bar the ship, they have no families. Everything has been stripped away in their act of heroism.

But, this is Star Trek. The show doesn't allow itself too long to remain in this low state. Culber does his best to treat the crew but, as he later says to Saru - they are all physically fine. The problem is psychological.
