Star Trek: Discovery 3.2 Review - Ups And Downs From Far From Home

The third season of Star Trek: Discovery has delivered another cracker of an episode, with plenty to discuss. The ship has finally arrived in the future, filling the void she left behind in the first episode last week. Everyone gets their moments to shine here, though the episode is not without issues.

The imagery and the music are both stunning again here this week - it's clear that, in the words of John Hammond, they spared no expense here. From the opening to closing, the episode is full of tension, humour, soft character moments and some of the typical violence that we have now come to expect from Discovery.

There are some problems, addressed below, but overall there is another strong offering this week from Star Trek's far future, one that is sure to divide fans regardless of whether it was brilliant or not!

With that in mind, follow on with this article as we delve into the various ups and downs from this week's episode of Star Trek: Discovery, Far From Home - and don't forget to check out the video list over on YouTube as well!

The opening to the episode is a stunning feast for the eyes as Discovery comes through the wormhole and emerges on the other side. Unfortunately for them, the other side just happens to have a tonne of asteroids directly in their path.

Kayla Detmer is the true hero of the moment as she snaps to action and begins to pilot the ship as best she can around and, yes, through some of these giant rocks. However, internal systems are buggered and that ship is going down to the planet below. She rolls the ship to let the dorsal side take most of the heat from the atmosphere, and expertly guides the ship during the crash that follows.

The scene is tense, there is a genuine sense of threat and, early in the season or no, there is no certainty that everyone will make it out alive. It is a fantastic first scene of the Discovery in this episode and a wonderful use of imagery.
