Star Trek: Discovery – Season 3 Episode 2 – Far From Home

We’re back! Brian and Ruthie talk through Star Trek: Discovery, Season 3 Episode 2, titled Far From Home. Like the premiere, this episode was written by Michelle Paradise & Jenny Lumet & Alex Kurtzman and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

If you haven’t seen this episode of Star Trek: Discovery, stop right now!!! Go watch it, then come back!!! We’ll be here for you!

Welcome… to the future!!!

The USS Discovery has arrived in the 32nd Century, but it had a bumpy ride. It lands on an inhospitable planet, known only by its inhabitants as The Colony. Several people have their bells rung, Detmer especially. There wasn’t really any payoff to Detmer, but we might see something from this in future episodes.

Hazmat clean-up on aisle 5!!!

Jett Reno is back, and boy was she funny this episode! She had some of the best lines ever heard on this show.

Bad guys

This episode had a bit of a Western feel, with a barroom brawl and a villain. More to follow…

Spot the References…

Again, there were a lot of references this week, though not as many as last week. I used this Den of Geek article to help find them.
