Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Captain Burnham and her crew must go where few have gone before: beyond the Galactic Barrier. Meanwhile, Book learns the truth of what drives Ruon Tarka.
Our Take
A mostly functional midseason episode that spends a lot of its runtime on spectacle, and the barrier crossing looks decent even if the stakes never feel as dire as the dialogue insists. The Book and Tarka subplot finally gives Shawn Ashmore something to chew on. Watchable, but it mostly exists to set up what comes next.
