On the way to the next clue, Discovery is sabotaged by a mysterious weapon, leaving Burnham, Rayner, & Stamets as the only crew members who can possibly save the ship in time.

No worries Chris

Wa an alright episode..

- Another time travel episode..
- Glad that Michael had some stern words to Rayner about his way with words
- So a bug is doing it??
- So Stamets is stuck as well
- I forgot about the old uniforms
- Nice to see the crew in various stages of the journey
- Good to see Rayner and Stamets getting along..
- Aww Airiam
- I did wonder if the two Michael's would meet
- Nice that Rayner has mellowed a bit at the end of the episode...

- Not generally a fan of time travel, but I didn't mind this one
- it's good that Michael speaks to Rayner about his abrupt, rude manner
- some nice scenes showing Michael & Rayner, and Rayner & Stamets bonding
- thought they did a good job integrating/recreating the scenes from previous seasons
- @ Tilly commenting on Michael's hair
- some great lines in this eppy:
- Stamets to Rayner: I need you to press pause on the gruff candor routine.
- Rayner to Stamets: Lets show them how a couple of old dogs still know the best tricks
- Michael to Tilly: You think I'm going to knife you in your sleep because of your snoring
- Also that Rayner used some of the bits he learned about people last week to gain their confidence in this episode
- Good to see Joanne and Kayla back. Also Airiam.
- not sure it really progressed this season's storyline much, but it did serve the purpose of showing Rayner learning to fit in with the crew and his position on the ship

I thought it was a quite good episode.

Interesting little detail that the weapon was built by the Krenim. They always had time weapons, already in Voyager.

Yeah, Krenim was a nice touch... Wonder though... they must have encountered them more after Voyager... Kes had warned them about it, then they had that two part episode which at the end of it seems like they ended up going around the space if memory serves me right... so not sure how much knowledge they retained of them.

Overall enjoyed the episode. Though, you'd think Michael could have thought of more to convince herself, like maybe something about her family.
