Rachael Ancheril, Sonequa Martin-Green, Anson Mount, David Benjamin Tomlinson, Doug Jones, Sean Connolly Affleck in “Star Trek: Discovery.”īurnham gets her moments, especially thanks to the always great Martin-Green, who shines when she gets a chance to unleash Burnham’s inner adrenaline junkie. The introduction and quick demise of cocky science officer Connolly (literally smashed by an asteroid while mansplaining his navigational prowess to Burnham) is a joke that feels awfully mean for “Trek” it’s one thing for viewers to make jokes about the red shirt phenomenon, but another for us to laugh at the death of a Starfleet officer.Īlso, there are some dense scenes of dialogue in the first half of the episode, dropping enough quickly-spoken details to justify turning on the subtitles, as Captain Pike is on a mission, gosh darn it, and he wants to get to it as quickly as possible - so quickly, in fact, that it might be hard to actually understand what that mission is, on first viewing.

Berg and Aaron Harberts (who had previously taken over for Bryan Fuller when he left the series prior to its premiere), “Brother” isn’t as rocky a ride as the descent down to the asteroid, but it’s also not exactly easy going.
Enterprise (you may have heard of it) comes on board Discovery with news from Starfleet - the Enterprise has been disabled by massive systems failure, so he’s taking command of the good ship Discovery to investigate some odd signals that “have the Federation’s hackles up.” That quest leads the Discovery to a rescue mission on a crumbling asteroid, but no real answers as yet to what those signals might be, or what Spock (a heard but not seen Ethan Peck) might be out investigating.ĭirected by Alex Kurtzman, who is now officially running the show on his own following the mid-production firing of Gretchen J.
Picking up moments after Season 1 ended, Captain Pike (Anson Mount) of the U.S.S. Where that mission will take this ambitious yet flawed series, however, is as yet a mystery. “Brother,” launching Thursday on CBS All Access, is all about establishing a new status quo, a new chain of command, and most importantly a new mission focused on exploration over conflict. The Season 2 premiere of “Star Trek: Discovery” definitely feels like the beginning of something.
