Review of Jinaal

Star Trek: Discovery: Jinaal (2024)
Season 5, Episode 3
2/10
Fuzzy space feelings
13 April 2024
I like Discovery. But this episode perfectly encapsulates where things have gone awry. It's an episode of in-your-face touchy-feely niceness. Never mind the galactic peril, the imminent destruction of the galaxy. So long as there's a regular heart-to-heart, understanding chat with empathy and positivity, all is well. Don't worry about the aliens, have a hug. And of course I'll accommodate your feeling when I make plans to save the universe, because they are just as important.

The first two episodes of this season were decent. You can easily skip this one. Unless you are on a mindfulness binge, in which case fill your boots.

This is the last season of the series? If so, I really hope they pull something out of the hat. But I'm not sure that they will. Some of the cast look like they are beginning to dial it in.
