The sum is somehow greater than its parts this week on "Discovery", as an overwrought trope plays a sort-of central role and we get to know someone just in time to never see them again in "Project Daedalus". The plot doesn't so much ramp up as spiral off into a whole new direction as the real villain is finally/suddenly revealed. Meanwhile, Spock is in A MOOD.
Also this week: the Oilers, the relentless march of time, and the second part of our Mind Melds talk!
