![]() ![]() In case you missed them, here's what we've already seen: They're just so much fun for fans to spot, Easter eggs for hard-core fans to find and which are interesting stories to be shared with new fans. Michael Gibson/CBS Interactive Please, may we have more old-school callbacks? Rainn Wilson as Harry Mudd made his debut this week. I'd think Romulans would be oh-so-willing to share tech with any races they believe will bring about the destruction of Starfleet and the Federation - the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and all that. (Side note: "Enterprise" around this time also endowed a group called Suliban Cabal with cloaking tech, but they received it from a time traveler and did not independently develop it.) Throughout Trek history, the Romulans and Klingons allied, but only in the "future" of "Discovery" - this doesn't make it impossible at all, but merely adds another layer to already established canon. Within the history of Trek, during this time period, the only ones capable of cloaking technology are the Romulans. But I can also see how the answer may lead us to something bigger and badder if we get a second season of "Discovery." I've been mulling this one since the beginning and I'm surprised we don't have an answer yet. James Dimmock/CBS Interactive Seriously, where did the Klingons get cloaking technology? The final title is the beginning of a John Muir quote: "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." The third is a Latin phrase often translated as "If you want peace, prepare for war " throughout history many have changed it to suit their needs, sometimes swapping words - in one notable case swapping prepare for "make war" (definitely sounds like a misquote Lorca would approve of). The second title is from Homer's "The Iliad," and the full line is "The heat of Love, the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover's whisper, irresistible - magic to make the sanest man go mad." ![]() In context, they all deal with losing (usually your mind): Lethe is a Greek spirit of forgetfulness and oblivion, as well as a river in the underworld of Hades. In order, they are: "Lethe," "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad," "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum" and finally, "Into the Forest I Go." The episode titles for the rest of the first half of the season also seem to lend credence to insanity as an important theme. The titles for episodes 5-9 have been revealed! Stream episode 5 this Sunday: #StarTrekDiscovery /F1Y7ERIDpV- Star Trek: Discovery October 12, 2017 So how does all this play into the show? I have some ideas (and more questions, naturally). She was now the right size to go through the little door into the lovely garden.Īt the end of the episode we see Burnham give her copy of the book (complete with what looks like an original John Tenniel illustration on its cover) to new roomie Cadet Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman). The rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself, but instead found herself falling down a very deep well. In the ep, mutineer Michael Burnham recites a passage from the Lewis Carroll book as she crawls through a maintenance duct (Jefferies tube, to be exact) on the USS Glenn: Since episode 3 (though much sooner in Trek canon), the importance of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has been stressed. (Because I'm going to go mid-level tinfoil hat deep right now.) Just how deep down the rabbit hole are we going to go? Then again, this could just be the beginning of our episodes about the Mirror Universe, which EP Alex Kurtzman confirmed just last week we would be exploring this season. ![]() We obviously have to wait to find out, but this could be the beginning of Stamets' descent into madness, forever out of sync and trapped by his own biological clock, perhaps doomed to insanity. Is Stamets really "our" Stamets? Did his trip on the mycelium network imbue him with powers, or did it throw him out of sync with the world? Is a part of him still catching up, or have his own timelines diverged? In doing so, he seems to suffer catastrophic injuries (Saru never looks like he can find a pulse), until suddenly he's awake and … laughing?Īt the end of the ep, as Stamets turns away from his bathroom vanity, we see his double? other self? remain behind exactly where Stamets was, then turn and walk toward the bedroom just seconds behind the real Stamets. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) places himself inside the spore drive room-thing so the Discovery can jump out of Klingon territory.
