Good day to all my fellow trekkies! I’m back for a review of the latest episode of Star Trek Discovery entitled “Light and Shadows.” The episode starts off with the current information the crew has about the Red Angel (no flashback this time). Mar 04, 2019 “Light and Shadows”—the seventh episode of Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery, coming at the halfway point of the season—pulls back the curtain on a period of Spock’s life about which we’ve known very little and makes some surprising revelations. We see brief moments of his childhood with Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) as his.

Contents Summary Teaser ' Personal log, Commander. Taught me the greatest mysteries come in threes: Birth, life, death. The past, the present, and future. That's where the is from. We now have confirmation, thanks to Mr.
The Angel is humanoid, and wearing an exosuit made of future technology we've never seen. But whose future, and why? The only person who may be able to answer these questions is the one person nobody can find.' Aboard the, Burnham walks the with, reviewing what they knew about 's connection to the Red Angel, how he had seen the seven before they had appeared.
The in Spock's indicate he had suffered a, to which Pike adds that either what the Angel revealed to him caused the breakdown, or it appeared to him because he was 'broken'. Burnham does not like either option. Perhaps, Pike speculates, it showed him a future that he couldn't process. They know that Spock escaped from the psychiatric unit on, and that his shuttle had disappeared in the, but have no other leads besides that. With the and on the hunt for Spock, Burnham emphasizes that they need to find him first, and asks Pike's permission to return to to meet with her foster parents,.

Sarek is part of the Federation's investigating the signals, but Burnham knows that Amanda has not always seen eye-to-eye with Sarek when it comes to Spock. Pike grants her leave; he and the Discovery have been ordered by to remain on for a time to investigate the residual energy left behind by the in orbit, to perhaps investigate where in the future the Angel came from.On the, Pike and Saru review the readings from the burst in orbit, showing them to match the same spike of detected by 's team from to the. Then enters the bridge, excitably remarking that the readings 'can't be accurate' – showing five thousand, densities not seen outside of a, which Tilly calls 'freaking amazing'. Pike wonders what kind of power source could generate that level of tachyon particles, to which Tilly replies it might not have even been invented yet. Pike half-jokingly orders her to determine what was behind the power source beyond 'freaking amazing'. Saru has attempted to launch a into the anomaly to determine its origin, but the tachyon levels are disrupting the, so Pike orders to move in closer, also ordering to aid Saru with the analysis. Asks where Burnham is, to which Pike replies she is on 'personal leave'.
Tyler insists that if Burnham's leave has to do with Spock, Pike 'owes' him an explanation, tossing his Section 31 badge into the captain's hand. Pike coolly informs him that ' the outranks the badge', just as alarms begin to sound. Reports comms are offline, and adds likewise for tactical. Reports the computers seem to be caught in some sort of loop, which Saru attributes to possible – which becomes certain as the previous exchange between Pike and Tyler repeats. In front of them, a in opens; Pike orders full reverse, allowing them to put enough distance between themselves and the rift to restore normal functions. Pike instructs Saru to load the probe onto a, which Pike himself will then pilot close enough to the anomaly to launch; since his first assignment in Starfleet was as a, he knows the shuttles better than anyone aboard.To Pike's barely-concealed irritation, Tyler (whom Pike refers to as a ') accompanies him in the turbolift.
Tyler tells Pike that he can keep him in the dark about Burnham, but not about the signals or the Red Angel; as the official liaison to Section 31, Pike has to deal with him. Pike asks about the inside him, to which Tyler mirrors about knowing the was over. Pike counters that his problem is not with Klingons, but about the fact that Tyler's 'shadow', had killed Dr. Tyler replies that he can't get rid of Voq, to which Pike sarcastically replies that he knows how that feels.Act OneArriving on Vulcan during one of its rare periods of, Burnham lands her shuttle at.
As she enters the house, she remembers the first time she had been there, and when she had met Spock. She has a flashback of playing with Spock when they were children, and laughing at her inability to form her fingers in the. Spock questions how she finds amusement in her own error, and tells her that emotions confuse him; Burnham admits they confused her, too. Spock shows Burnham the correct way, and shares a brief smile with her. Back in the present, Amanda greets Burnham, who tells her that Spock is still missing. Sarek sits in meditation nearby, and Amanda says he has been in that position for hours. Ever since word came that Spock had disappeared, Sarek had been practicing, which ancient believed could bring lost souls back home, but it wasn't working.
Burnham believes it to be more than that; Sarek has the most disciplined mind she knows, but if it isn't working, there is a reason and Burnham believes Amanda knows what it is. Amanda replies she has not spoken to him, but Burnham persists, reminding her that the longer Spock is on the run, the harder it would be for him, a logic Amanda cannot refute. No matter how angry Amanda was with her, Burnham emphasizes her love for her brother, and her desire to protect him. Amanda replies that even if she knew, she would not allow her son to be arrested for he did not commit, and again flatly replies that she has not seen him. Burnham is not convinced; Amanda had told her the truth her entire life, which was how she could tell Amanda was lying. She pleads with Amanda to tell her where Spock was, to let her help him. Amanda replies that Spock was not as Burnham remembered him.In orbit of Kaminar, leaves Discovery with Pike and Tyler at the controls; it has been five minutes, with no further signs of temporal effects from the rift, and Pike prepares to move the shuttle six hundred closer to re-acclimate.
Tilly compares it to a rising to the surface and jokingly warns him not to get the 'time '. Saru advises him not to fire the probe into the rift's, and Pike acknowledges – his transmission echoing from the temporal distortions. Saru advises him not to approach closer and to launch from his current position. As he attends to the controls himself (much to the frustration of Tyler) to bring the shuttle to a full stop, Pike hears Tyler screaming behind him, and witnesses a temporal echo where he shoots Tyler with his. Tyler, who did not witness it, asks if something was wrong; Pike instructs him to launch the probe. As the probe enters the rift, Owosekun warns Pike that a is headed straight for him. Pike acknowledges and initiates evasive maneuvers, but his transmission becomes choppy before it finally cuts out.
Back on Discovery, Owosekun has lost the shuttle in the time rift; Rhys is not detecting the shuttle on sensors, and Bryce is getting no reading from its transponder. Saru asks Rhys if he can detect any debris from an explosion; Rhys replies that sensors are offline. Detmer warns if they get any closer to the rift, what happened to Pike's shuttle could happen to Discovery as well. Determinedly, Saru informs the crew their mission has changed from one of research to one of rescue. He orders Owosekun to rectify the sensor issues by manually accounting for the varying tachyon levels, and instructs Rhys to continue studying the anomaly, in order to recognize any deviations in its internal dynamics – deviations like Pike's shuttle. Tilly warns that the radiation from the anomaly will become lethal within five hours.
Saru speculates that time does not move in a linear fashion inside the anomaly; Tilly confirms this, that it 'jumbles it all up, like a ', which would make it impossible to find Pike's shuttle. Saru agrees it would be impossible for them, but also knows that, based on the with, Commander has a 'unique' relationship with time, protected from temporal distortions by the he introduced into his system. Tilly heads to.Back on Vulcan, Amanda brings Burnham to a nearby. Inside, Burnham is horrified to find Spock, bearded and disheveled, muttering constantly to himself.

Michael approaches him, trying to tell him she was there, but he shows no signs of acknowledgement.Act TwoSarek appears in the sacred cryptSpock continues repeating the same words over and over, which Burnham recognizes as the. Amanda tells her that he has been like this for the past two days.
Burnham is appalled, saying that he needs a doctor, but Amanda refuses, saying that 'every avenue leaves a trail'. Spock then begins reciting the same numbers in order: 8-4-1-9. Amanda has been unable to figure out what the numbers mean. Burnham again insists that he needs to be taken to a hospital; if he were fully Vulcan, the emotional disarray would have driven him to.
Amanda is adamant that he is not going anywhere. Spock came to her for help, and she would never turn him in – indeed, under, she has no obligation to do so, and as the wife of the Vulcan, she can claim to protect Spock from extradition. ' Unless the ambassador objects,' Sarek replies from behind them.Inside the tempora.
