Episodes Discussion
"Red Directive" & "Under the Twin Moons"
Airdate: 04/04/2024 (Paramount+)
This thread is for the pre and post discussion of the Season 5 episodes "Red Directive" & "Under the Twin Moons" - this will be a spoiler filled discussion so if you've found your way past the warnings in the activity stream and the spoiler tag on the thread, this is your last chance to turn back, or at least it will be at the end of this first post. You have been warned!
Red Directive
Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious artifact hidden inside a 800-year-old Romulan vessel - but find that they're not the only ones on the hunt.
Under the Twin Moons
On Saru's last mission as Captain Burnham's Number One, the team ventures to a seemingly abandoned planet to hunt for what might be the greatest treasure in the galaxy.
"Red Directive" is the first episode, 1 of 10.
"Under the Twin Moons" is the second episode, 2 of 10.
(Sorry this is late, I will endavour to get these out earlier in the future so pre discussion can occur if it wanted. Didn't think of making one myself till after watching the episodes.)

I loved the episodes and the fact they are continuing a long abandoned plot line. Can't wait to see where they take it.

I thought it was a pretty decent opener. Callum Keith Rennie's Captain Rayner seems like a promising new addition to this season's cast. Kinda get some similar vibes as Jason Isaac's Lorca character from season 1, so will be interesting to see where they go there.
Also some deep (and not so deep) cuts nodding to TNG and setting up what could be an interesting final season for the show. Definitely still action-heavy compared to other Trek, but love it or hate it that seems to be what Discovery goes for. Hopefully they'll get to go out on a high note for their final outing.
