You're welcome.

They're not being very forthcoming with episode descriptions this season.

Really ?

I thought it was a very good and emotional eppy

- Ahh we finally see Number One and she likes hamburgers and fries . I love that she didn't believe what was going on with Spock and knew something was up.

- So the finally had a track down on Spock...and that is one big ball of energy standing in there way.

- All those languages! kudos to the cast for doing that..

- Poor Saru , even when he's dying he's putting the crew and ship first by trying to figure out that alien being wants..

- Tilly. She was put right through the ringer and finding out the Discovery jumping putting harm to that race. I'm glad we saw Reno again and great banter between her and Stamets . They make a good trio those 3

- Loved the scenes between Michael and Saru , they are family and Saru asking her to end his suffering, oh my...Wonderful acting from Sonequa and Doug

- So now Saru has a new lease of life and also a new outlook, I wonder if he will go back to his home planet?

- Oh my Tilly!! rescue mission stat!!

Tilly had to get an implant in her head to talk to the parasite and then the parasite totally obsorbs her


the Tower of Babel Language scene

Overall a very emotional episode, as others have said.

The Michael/Saru scenes were terrific. So glad that he didn't die.

Tilly's scenes were very intense.

Reno is terrific! Loved the snark between her and Stamets. Looking forward to more of that.

Glad that Michael decided that she does need to be actively involved in rescuing Spock
