Star Trekis no stranger to the everyones survival hinges on the emotional state of one very powerful baby trope.
(Jauntin the cornfield, anybody?)
TV Tropes calls it Goo Goo Godlike.
Now, SuKal isnttechnicallya baby.
(In a way, you could argue thatDiscoveryfinally got a holodeck episode.)
What isclear is that there is simply Too Much Happening right now.
The rescue mission happening down below is just as chaotic.
(Raise your hand if you screamed when you realized this was about to happen.)
Isa preselected these races for whoever showed up, to be consistent with the program.
(This last element felt a little too forced in Sarus mouth.
By now, the old programs language has degraded mostly to its coding.
Query: are you the anticipated input?
If no, then initiate defense protocols.
(They are definitely anticipated input: classification: rescuer.)
Curious at first, it opts instead to chase her around thestepwelluntil she slips and falls up.
SuKal is there when she wakes, excitedly asking if shes a new program.
All the while, their radiation exposure is worsening.
And now, Discovery is being commandeered by space gangsters.
But then something infuriating happens.
She claims hes been distracted and so he needs to be the one to stay with his kinsman.

Personal Log, Supplemental
Credits color scheme is back to normal.

Gray returns!
(What about them makes them less susceptible to radiation than Book?)
When Book has to get DNA recombination therapy to treat his radiation, so does Grudge???
Booktook his cat into a radioactive nebula.
Someone call the Space SPCA.
Absolutely thrilled that Culber finally gets his moment with this mission.
I need to go for me, he tells Stamets.
I was so lost after I came back.
I can help Saru, and if there is a survivor, theyve been alone for decades.
And maybe I can help them too.
You go, Hugh Culber.
How does Michael know what a Bajoran look like?
When SuKal runs away from Michael, he does Sarus little fish arms behind him.
Gets me every time.
Another minor detail: how great is it that Starfleet finally has cloaking technology?
InTrekspast, that was always a feature of enemy vessels, like Klingon warbirds or Romulan stealth ships.
Would it really be so hard to promote Tilly to lieutenant, also?
How does that work?
