When she warns him about the way heвЂ™s navigating, he starts loudly telling her why sheвЂ™s wrong - and in the middle of his explanation, a rogue asteroid runs sidelong into his pod, killing him instantly. Then, when the team deploys in a set of explorer pods to navigate an unpredictable asteroid cluster, he presumes he knows the vehicles better than her, even though she was the original test pilot for the pods.

At every opportunity, he negs BurnhamвЂ™s suggestions and hypotheses about the mysterious red signals that have appeared across the galaxy. ItвЂ™s made clear from the moment he appears on the transformer pad that this Lieutenant Connolly, barging into the story where fans expected Spock, is kind of a douchebag - more Winklevoss than Vulcan. Bucking the time-honored Trek trope of selecting a вЂњredshirtвЂќ (a low-ranking, generic officer) to be the sole casualty of the first Starfleet away mission of the season, Discovery instead chose to off a smug, insecure white male science officer - mid-mansplain.

The move was meant, for better or worse, to put doubtful fans a bit more at ease by situating the series adjacent to a familiar canon.Д«ut like the seriesвЂ™ controversial first season, the new episode also featured a pretty direct left turn. As the first new Trek series in over a decade, Discovery grounded itself in prequel territory from the get-go by revealing that its star, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), was SpockвЂ™s adopted human sister. Whatever grumblings Trekkies may have had about the bald fan-service decision to bring Pike and his first officer, the also-iconic Vulcan Spock, into the picture at the end of season 1, it was an inevitability. When Star Trek: Discovery returned for its second season last week, it came with an insurance plan and a risk.ДЇirst, the premiere episode, вЂњBrother,вЂќ welcomed Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), the captain who helmed the original seriesвЂ™ USS Enterprise in its rejected initial 1965 pilot, before Trek creator Gene Roddenberry was asked to create a new pilot with the now-iconic James T.

By adding in surly fledgling crime boss Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter) and his crew-characters from another novel in Bardugo's Grishaverse-the show tempers the romance and high court drama of the main story with a parallel crime-caper narrative, weaving them both together by using flashbacks and lots of creative license.Warning: spoilers ahead for season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery, and for the season 2 premiere episode, вЂњBrother.вЂќ Meanwhile, a band of teenage criminals from the slums of Ketterdam embark on their own dangerous mission, taking them deep into the heart of Grisha country.

In Ravka, Grisha are trained as soldiers and led by General Kirigan ( Westworld's Ben Barnes), himself a Grisha with power over darkness and a not-so-secret disdain for the nation's weak monarchy.

The first season of Netflix's adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's bestselling fantasy series introduces Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), a lowly army cartographer from Ravka, a country based loosely on Russia, who learns by accident that she possesses the rare ability to channel pure light, making her a powerful (and dangerous) Grisha.
