Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 5 "Choose Your Pain" Review


While on a mission, Lorca is captured by the Klingons and unexpectedly finds himself in the company of prisoner of war Starfleet Lieutenant Ash Tyler and notorious criminal Harry Mudd.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that had both a really good main story and side story. I really liked Michael tried to do all she could to protect Ripper because she is so sure that the space jumping is hurting the creature. And it was interesting how Michael and some of the other scientist tried to come up with other ways to make that same connection between the spores and the machine without using the creature but the best solution they can find it to use a human instead because they are just similar enough to Ripper. Then the moments with Saru acting as captain and he is trying to find a way to be the best captain possible but he is struggling to seem powerful and unafraid and because of that he really isn't listening to what others are saying. Then the moments with captain Lorca were really great with him figuring out how things among the prisoners work and what the Klingons want with him. I really loved the whole escape scene and how captain Lorca got away and back save aboard the Discovery. And I can't wait to see how Ash will fit in among the rest of the crew, and I can't wait to see how they might eventually bring Harry back into the mix since Lorca turned on him. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and great episode and I'm curious to know what they are going to do next.
