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

2. The Music (UP)

Star Trek Discovery Ryn

The music is something that deserves a little bit more in terms of highlighting its importance, but it did move further along here. It is identified as a signal, one that has influenced several people throughout the series. It appeared on the seed ship, sung by the Barzan family. Grey, and later Adira, play it on the cello. This week, it is identified.

The signal is a distress call. It is coming from the middle of a nebula and it is coming from a Starfleet vessel. We can't be the only ones thinking, immediately, that it's the Discovery from Calypso, right?

Zora appeared, briefly, earlier in the season. However, in Calypso, the Discovery was abandoned in a nebula. Is it the same ship? Is it a duplicate? Does this mean, or bring us closer to realising, that it was in fact the Discovery which caused the Burn?

If that is the case, how will the crew react to this news? How will Starfleet react? And how exactly did any of it happen?
