Star Trek: Discovery - Season 4 Review, Part 3

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, it's the climactic resolution to Star Trek: Discovery's fourth season!

In fact I'll be covering four episodes, telling the story of Discovery's journey... to do stuff. I'm not going to spoil anything in this intro. I don't have to, the episode titles are doing that for me.

• 4-10 - The Galactic Barrier
  
• 4-11 - Rosetta
  
• 4-12 - Species Ten-C
  
• 4-13 - Coming Home
  

There will be SPOILERS past this point though, for all four episodes and previous Trek stories. I won't spoil a thing about what happens next however. Mostly because I don't want to, but also because season 5 hasn't aired yet at the time I'm writing this and no one really knows what happens next.

Star Trek: Discovery - Season 4 Review, Part 2

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, I've finally reached the middle of Star Trek: Discovery's fourth season! Just five months later than planned. It's the season about the DMA blowing up planets if you've forgotten.

I'm sorry I disappeared for so long, I was supposed to get this article finished and published in September last year, but I decided to focus on getting Babylon 5's last season done instead and messed up all my plans. Then it just carried on slipping down my list of priorities, even though it was next in line to get published. Funny thing is, I wrote these reviews back in December 2021 right after watching each episode and all they needed was a bit of tidying up to make them readable.

Okay, most Trek series have 10 episode seasons these days and Discovery's going to join them this year, but season four featured 13 and that doesn't divide evenly into three articles. At first I thought about writing about 4.33 episodes in every article, but I figured it'd be simpler to just add a bonus review to this one and write about 5 this time:

• 4-05 - The Examples
  
• 4-06 - Stormy Weather
  
• 4-07 - ...But to Connect
  
• 4-08 - All In
  
• 4-09 - Rubicon

There will be huge SPOILERS for each of these episodes, and earlier series, but if you're watching the Discovery for the first time you don't have to worry about me spoiling anything that happens afterwards. I hadn't even seen the later episodes when I wrote these reviews.

Star Trek: Discovery - Season 4 Review, Part 1

This week on Sci-Fi Adventures, I'm writing about the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery! Because writing about Star Trek is extremely on-brand for science fiction website and I'm a bit of a fan. Plus it's traditional for the fourth series of a Star Trek series to be the peak of its quality, and I like quality.

It's also traditional for Star Trek series to burn through showrunners early on, and Discovery has definitely lived up to that tradition. Last season featured the third transition of power, as Michelle Paradise took over as showrunner (or co-showrunner with Alex Kurtzman) and sailed the series in yet another wildly different direction. She's still in the captain's chair for season four however, and it and seems like Discovery may have actually settled down a bit.

There were two major changes behind the scenes this season though: everyone had to deal with COVID-19 protocols, and they got a new AR wall to play with like the one used on The Mandalorian. So there was much less location filming, but they had better fake locations.

Okay, I've written reviews here for these four episodes:

• 4-01 - Kobayashi Maru
  
• 4-02 - Anomaly
  
• 4-03 - Choose to Live
  
• 4-04 - All is Possible

There will be MASSIVE SPOILERS for these stories (and lesser spoilers for earlier Trek stories) so I guess this is mostly for people who's already seen and formed their own opinion about the episodes and wants to read someone else's thoughts.
