Star Trek: Discovery, Season 1, Episode 11 Review

How are you guys? I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing well too. Today I am back to talk to you about a new episode of one of my favorite series. I have shared reviews of several episodes of this series before and today I will share my feelings about Episode 11 of Star Trek: Discovery. Honestly, there were some moments while watching this episode that completely surprised me. Compared to the previous episodes, I felt a lot more mystery, excitement and mental stress in this episode.

A strange atmosphere was created from the beginning of this episode. USS Discovery was in a situation where everything seemed unfamiliar and unusual. A suppressed anxiety was working among the entire team. Especially when they realized that the place they had come to was not their familiar reality, from that moment on the story became different. I personally enjoyed this part a lot because not only the action was shown here, but the fear and mental state of the characters were also shown very beautifully.

In this episode, Michael Burnham seemed much more mature than before. He was trying to understand everything with a cool head. Even though he was afraid inside, he was not expressing it easily. He tried to make the right decision again and again despite the whole situation. The best part of Burnham's character is that he is never perfect. He has doubts, emotions, and mistakes. And that's why he seems like a real person.

On the other hand, Gabriel Lorca seemed more mysterious in this episode. Some of his behaviors seemed like he was hiding a lot from everyone else. There was such a confidence in his eyes that sometimes became a cause of fear. I was wondering throughout the entire episode what the man was really planning. His character has become very interesting now.

I also liked the character Saru in this episode. He always wants to follow the rules and tries to keep the entire team safe. But in this unusual situation, he also felt a bit helpless. His feelings of fear were shown very naturally.

Another one who cannot be ignored is Paul Stamets. I really felt bad seeing his condition in this episode. What was happening with the spore drive was slowly taking its toll on him. The tiredness and confusion in his eyes were clear. At times, it felt like he was at war with himself.

The best part of the episode was its ability to maintain its atmosphere and mystery. There was a tense tension throughout. It was hard to predict what would happen next. I often thought that a major danger might arise, and at other times it felt like everything would calm down. This uncertainty made the episode even more enjoyable.

The visual effects are also worth mentioning. The space scenes were truly amazing. Especially the atmosphere and the feeling of the strange world around Discovery were beautifully depicted. Some scenes seemed so real that I was completely lost in the story.

Overall, I really liked this episode. Not only is it science fiction, but the emotions, fears, and mental states of the characters are also beautifully portrayed. After watching Episode 11, my interest in seeing what will happen in the next episode has increased. Now the story has reached a point where anything can happen.

I'm ending it here like today. I hope you like my review. Those who have watched this episode must tell me which part you liked the most. Everyone stay well and healthy.
