#STAR TREK BEYOND WATCH PUTLOCKER FULL#
This gives the production design team free reign to use the full array of tools and tricks they have available. All of the technology, no matter how advanced fans think it is compared to how tech of the pre-TOS era “should” look, is now completely outdated. They raise the flag together and it is legitimately moving.īy jumping into the future the show has also completely mitigated that first critique. Instead, she offers him a battlefield commission to be an officer himself and help her find the missing Discovery.
Sahil asks Burnham to raise the Federation flag in his little observation room since it can only be done by a commissioned officer. At the end of the episode Sahil and Burnham meet and he is overjoyed to actually be in the presence, for the first time, of a Starfleet officer. The most emotionally effective moment of “That Hope Is You, Part 1” for me was the encapsulation of that. No matter how dark or wrong they may have been in certain decisions, or for some periods of time, the ideals of the Federation are well worth preserving and maintaining. (Nevermind that if you watch half the episodes of TOS or TNG or three quarters of the episodes of DS9 you will see that has always been a large part of Starfleet’s ethos.) This dissolution of the Federation means that the show doesn’t have to contend with the issues that come up about the second issue. Over the course of the first two seasons the two biggest criticisms of Discovery have been: that they changed too much with the technology and production design, and that they made Starfleet too dark, cynical and corrupt. In the real world right now there are a lot of challenges, a lot of major disasters both political and physiological, and the idea of the show mirroring those challenges while also rebuilding the ideas and ideals of the in-universe political structure is really compelling. This is some emotionally fertile ground for the show to build the season around and I’m glad that they set it up with both the cold open and the ending of this episode. Despite the fact that he has lived nearly his entire life after the “burn” and isn’t actually a Starfleet officer, he lives his life as if he were one. Sahil is one of the true believers that the Federation can return and the galaxy be restored to its former glory. It is definitely good that all life in the universe hasn’t been destroyed, but somehow there was a major disaster everywhere involving dilithium-referred to as “the burn”-that destroyed almost all of Starfleet and eventually led to the Federation “fading away”. This new future that the Discovery crew ensured by their actions at the end of Season 2 has its own issues.
Over the course of the episode Michael and the viewers learn the circumstances of what has happened to the Federation and it sets the stakes for the season really well. That new character we will learn at the end of the episode is Aditah Sahil (Adil Hussain), who has been awakened every day for 40 years by said alarm parrot in his lifelong search for some vestiges of the United Federation of Planets or Star Fleet to show up on his sensors. But before we get to that, we have to check in on Desmond in the hatch…no wait, by that I mean with a new character and his alarm parrot. We also get to watch Sonequa Martin Green masterfully play Burnham through an astonishing array of emotions, including super duper high. Over the course of this premiere episode there are shipwrecks, disintegrations, explosions and devouring galore. Star Trek: Discovery returns with S3E1 “That Hope Is You, Part 1” a rollicking roller coaster of an episode that jumps off exactly where Season 2 ended, with Commander Michael Burnham and the USS Discovery hurtling through time to nearly 1000 years in their future.
