And here comes Point of Light, a pulpy, blood-slashing tale of man buns and fungal glorpghosts.

The first bridge scene in Point of Light features a long camera movement twirling aroundDiscos officers.
Unfortunately, most of the action onboardDiscothis week is blah serialized water-treading.
Mia Kirshner shows up as Michaels big sister, errr, I mean mother.
Kirshners Amanda is here to talk Spock.
1: He has (apparently) killed some doctors in his Space Rehab facility.
2: Amanda worries her half-human sons emotionless upbringing left him a wee bit psychopathic.
Now, Im all for canon-tweaking.
So far, the grand plot of this season amounts to people talking endlessly about Various Red Things.
We also get another tease about What Burnham Did To Make Spock Mad, whichpleasepleasepleasepleasedont be anything romantic.
I admit that Ive lost track of some of the philosophical concepts powering LRells reign.
Remain Klingon vibes like a nationalist knives-out eugenics platform.
Making things more confusing, Ash and LRell are assisted on various levels by Starfleet.
Then everything goes just crazy.
Point of Light ends with LRell firmly in charge.
We can maybe say farewell to the Klingons now, yeah?
Its a lot of fun to see Yeoh, back again as the galactic dictator-turned-security consultant.
(Tired: Doing your franchisesDark Knight.
Wired: Doing your franchisesRagnarok.)
Like, Emperor Georgiou based on everything we saw in the Mirror Universe is abadperson.
Not bad like Deadpool, bad likeStalin.
But Michelle Yeoh is great!
Lets call this a draw.
