Warning: The subspace spoiler inducers are overloading!
The third season of “Discovery” started strong on the streaming service CBS All Access, with one of the best episodes we’ve seen so far, “That Hope Is You, Part 1.” And while no subsequent episode has been as good as that, we have had some great new characters that we want to see more of, like Book (David Ajala), Zareh (Jake Weber) and Kovich (David Cronenberg). We’ve also had some nice B-plots, that are often more fun than what’s happening with the primary plot, like Saru’s dining disaster and even the crew’s cross examinations last week. Tragically though, opportunities were missed to make the most of these and too much time was yet again spent on overemotional storylines.
