I, a trek fan since the 70s, and she, a complete newcomer to the universe, are both anticipating new episodes of season 2 every week! This story is not the strongest of the season for sure. But we are both at a point where we enjoy the characters and the universe do much that we give the weaker eps a bit of a pass cuz it's enjoyable to see our crew in action.
On the downside, the mycelial network plan feels made up and contrived. And the use of Hugh here is a play to sentimentality that makes bringing Tasha yard daughter back seem like a reasonable plot point. Tilly is the weakest of this season. And section 31? Idk.
Butttt, Pike is the strongest addition to season 2. The best of all starfleet captains rolled into a single character. Effects are top quality as always. And editing and dialog pop and move the characters and emotion forward with a pathos that provides depth, playing against the history established in season one.
Diggin' it!
