Critic's Log | Star Trek: Discovery 5.9 

You had me rolling. I don't always get to properly experience the fullness of the trademark British humor. That Iron Man reference though, I didn't catch that one. That's like a deep cut from one end of the universe to the other, anything but "in your face".

People like to say Alex Kurtzman is a hack, but only a visionary would be able to take Star Trek's rotting corpse and then stitch it together with the plot of _The Last Crusade_ and the writing of _The Dial Of Destiny_ like some Frankensteinian atrocity. We thought it was merely corporate product with the Star Trek brand name, but it was actually another entry into Universal Studios' discontinued cinematic _Dark Universe_ all along
