We are back in the regular universe now and need to get on with the Galaxy saving but first we have to address some personnel issues. Admiral Cornwell angrily vaporises the alternate Lorca's cookies and concludes that her version must be dead.. Ash Tyler is confused after his recent stint as a homicidal Klingon agent and cries a lot. Stammets stomps off when he meets him, Michael pouts when she talks about him but Tilly apparently forgives him. There is a lot more talk of feelings and a great deal more crying but somewhere in amongst it all we get something approaching a plot.
This seems to involve the remainder of Starfleet concluding that the advancing Klingons are totally without mercy and cannot be reasoned with, their only aim being the total destruction of Earth. This apparently justifies a top secret mission to Cronos, their home world for some sort of "ultimate solution".
Stammets instantaneously propagates a whole moon with magic mushrooms (no wonder everyone grins insanely) Then we get rousing martial speeches and for some obscure reason everyone struts around with their jackets unbuttoned. Emperor Phillipa strides onto the bridge, pretending to be the old Captain Georgiou back in command and poor Saru gets sidelined yet again.
I think that about wraps it up. I'm afraid Senior Trekker is losing interest while she awaits the arrival of Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike next season. Nonetheless, in the interest of fairness to all concerned, this episode will score.............hmm..............a five!
