And another episode directed by Jonathan Frakes! I do get excited about that because it's one of the rare genuinely Trek things about Discovery (which, unfortunately, already says a lot about the show).
Finally we got to know what Airiam is (a very intriguing, rather mysterious character since the beginning). Those who were paying attention already knew she was bad news from the previous episode (she nodded in a suspicious way at least twice back then, and the camera did focus on her at times where there was no need for it). Too bad she won't be around, anymore, yet another dumb decision from the show runners, Airiam was too interesting to just be left freezing in the vacuum of space. Which begs the question: couldn't the Discovery have beamed her up as soon as she was ejected from that space station? Maybe they've mentioned the transporters being offline and I've missed that, though...
As it's been usual regarding Discovery, I'm not sure about this episode as a Star Trek episode, but I found it to be quite pleasant as far as a random sci-fi show can go.
@misnomer once again we`re on the same page. In regards of your last sentence I am in complete agreement. Don't hate it, let's see where it goes. But Trek, it's not really.
