Star Trek: Discovery - ‘The Red Angel’ Review

Spock, to Burnham: "Perhaps you simply have a penchant for the dramatic."

By nature I love brevity: A serviceable 'moving parts' episode that gets us from Point A to Point B, and does it in a way that's often entertaining to watch. Quiet and subdued, building to an exciting climax that mostly works.

And the Red Angel is...

To the great bereavement of all, not Patrick Stewart in a lobster costume as a backdoor pilot to the Picard show.

All joking aside, I... think I like the big reveal? Maybe? To be sure, I am tired of the big mystery character being revealed to be a parent of the main character. It's absolutely a trope, and it often leads to recycled and stagnant storytelling. I do think it can done well, however, as it instantly injects emotion into a character dynamic without having to build the characters' interactions from the ground up. It all depends on how well the show uses it. Whether or not they will do a good job with this storyline remains to be seen.

I do think the writers are hitting their stride, though, and it definitely shows. The stories have suddenly been slowed down to the right pace, which improves the show by leaps and bounds. Part of this is perhaps the direction, which was fittingly subdued and understated here, but I think that even from that standpoint, having far less story to cram into an hour is helpful. 'The Red Angel' has time to spend on its key interactions, like 'If Memory Serves' and 'Project Daedalus' before it, and the show is far better for it.

That said, some of those interactions are better than others. I still don't believe a single thing that comes out of Shazad Latif's mouth, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the purpose was behind Georgiou's scene with Stamets and Culber. On the better side of things, I liked the reconciliation scene between Burnham and Nhan, and I thought Spock's conversation with Burnham was good, if a little bit of an abrupt shift from their dynamic last week.

Leland and Georgiou are on the side of the angels this week (no, wait, they want to capture the Angel? I'm confused), with a few caveats. The first of these is the big secret that Leland tasked Burnham's parents with Project Daedalus, and that his actions indirectly got them killed. I'm not sure why Leland would think that Burnham needed to know this for the mission, however, unless he knew that the Angel was Burnham's mom. Wait, did he? Huh. In any event, the moment that I guessed the Angel's identity was in that scene, when Burnham told him what her parents were, and Leland said her mother was also a great engineer.

How Burnham processes this revelation is interesting. Her guilty perspective was, as Spock put it, 'a child's understanding,' but she was still living with that childish mindset. And her reaction to the news was emotionally quite childish. At first, she denied it and provided counter-evidence that showed her naïveté about the situation. In that scene, Sonequa Martin-Green's performance reminded me so much of a child that I'm unsure if it was an intentional choice or not. Then, confronted with reality, she got mad and expressed her anger by lashing out at anybody and everybody related to the situation, whether they were responsible like Leland, or not responsible like Tyler. It was only after Spock came and forgave her that she was released from the childhood burden of her guilt and anger. When he did so, Martin-Green's face beautifully conveyed the lifting of a heavy weight from her shoulders.

Let's talk briefly about the plot, before we unpack what this episode may mean going forward. From the outset, it didn't make a whole ton of sense - admittedly, as time travel plots do. To be fair, I at least have a better sense of this plot than I did of Enterprise's utterly nonsensical Temporal Cold War, but certain elements of the time travel irked me. Although the problems worked themselves out from a story perspective with the reveal that the Angel is Burnham's mom, it still made no sense that the characters weren't seeing the obvious flaws in their plans. For one thing, if the Red Angel was Burnham, then she would know in the future everything that they were planning and therefore be prepared. Secondly, and perhaps worse, having Dr. Culber there to resuscitate Burnham if she dies completely invalidates the 'bait.' Nobody except for Spock seems to understand that the only way their plan works is if Burnham will actually be dead if the Angel doesn't show up. This bothered me the whole time that I was watching the episode.

So what does this mean going forward? Disco now has the Red Angel, who is Burnham's biological mother, trapped on the planet. But something fishy is going on with the Section 31 ship, as evidenced by Leland getting The Phantom-ed. Could this be Control taking, er, control of Leland's 31 ship? It certainly seems that way, especially since the voice actor who recorded that line from the computer is credited as 'Control Computer.' As this show seems to be ready to start slowing down for meaningful conversations, I think we will see Burnham and her mother work out some of their emotional issues and baggage next episode. I suspect Stamets and Culber will do the same, as they will be trapped down there as well. How Georgiou and Spock will figure in is anybody's guess, but I don't think it's an accident which characters are left on the planet at the end of this episode.

Strange New Worlds:

Essof IV was a testing site for Project Daedalus. Its inhospitable conditions rendered the planet's surface unlivable, so the researchers built a facility to control the environment.

New Life and New Civilizations:

No new species or creatures in this episode.

Pensees:

-Good funeral scene at the beginning, that did the Wrath of Khan parallel a little bit but didn't overdo it.

-So, if the Federation and the Klingons were so close to developing time travel, why don't they all have it and use it regularly in the rest of Star Trek? The Temporal Prime Directive isn't until way later.

-The theme of faith has been lost in the shuffle here. We'll see how it ties in as the season draws closer to its end.

-Leland said they needed a time crystal for the Red Angel suit. That's the same thing that was in Mudd's time loop device in 'Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad' last season.

-Another chance for Cornwell to use her therapy background. I like that her profession is a consistent and recurring aspect of her character.

-There was a very interesting and important-feeling shot of Sara Mitich's character Lt. Nilsson taking Airiam's place on the bridge. Sara Mitich played Airiam in season one. Huh.

-Burnham was on a roll with her impressions this week, doing the bug-eyed look of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at one point (please note: no political statement is to be ascribed to this joke about a famous person's most distinguishing facial feature) and her best Nicholas Cage 'not the bees' when she was exposed to the atmosphere of Essof IV.

-Hanelle M. Culpepper directed this episode, as well as last season's well-liked 'Vaulting Ambition.' She will direct the first two episodes of the Picard series.

-Happy Talk Like William Shatner Day for anyone reading this on the 22nd! What's your favorite Shatner line delivery?

Quotes:

Tilly: "Some people choose to live their lives as if nothing is a miracle."

Georgiou: "I was thinking you might be smarter than the Stamets I knew. You're also much more neurotic. Have you considered medication?"

Tilly: "What just happened?" I'm with her on this one.

Admiral Cornwell: "Love is a choice, Hugh, and one doesn't just make that choice once. You make it again and again." Whew. Almost had this one as my opening quote.

Spock: "I do wish I'd been there when you struck him. I believe I would have found the moment... satisfying."

4 out of 6 lobster costumes.

DARCY’S WANTED CONNECTIONS | DAISY CHAINS AND SAWED OFF SHOT GUNS

“CAN YOU BELIEVE THE OUTCOME? I’M ASKING YOU GOD HOW COME” || THE BROTHER: Darcy took the brunt of the abuse against the Kazakov children, sparing his two younger siblings as best he could. When he aided their father in a bank robbery, he took the fall by force and was sentenced up to three years when Darcy was twenty-eight years old. He hoped that their father’s probation for the crime would keep them protected while he tried to get out early on good behavior, but getting caught only made things worse. Everything he tried to protect his brothers from no longer had a barrier. The middle Kazakov brother tried his best, but ultimately the abuse and neglect was too much and their younger brother succumbed to it. After their younger brother died, the middle Kazakov brother stopped coming around to visit Darcy in prison and he was left in the dark. When Darcy found out, he threw his attempts at getting out early for the sake of beating their father the moment he spotted him in the same facility. The middle Kazakov brother has severe PTSD from the abuse and it’s possible he picked up Darcy from prison after his sentence was extended by four years. [Ages 23-26. Suggested FCs Taron Egerton, Jordan Elass, Nolan Gerard Funk, and Logan Lerman]

“I’M BREAKING YOUR FALL, YOU’RE BREAKING MY ASS” || THE HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART: Darcy’s isn’t the type to fall for anyone, but there was one person he confessed every what if to. They were never romantically involved, but there was always something more that hung in the air between them. At some point, they agreed to be each other’s plan D.  @reagan--donahue

“DO YOU NEED LOVE, AM I ENOUGH FOR YOU? IN TIME YOU’LL FIND I’VE GOT MY BAGGAGE, TOO” || THE OPPOSITES ATTRACT: Darcy’s reputation managed to skip over this muse, whether it because they’re brand new to town or came while Darcy was serving his sentence. Somehow these two have managed to let the rest of the world fade away, and they see what the other is willing to show despite what their reputations will soon reveal. This is a flirtation that takes off too fast and is set for doom, but who knows if they’ll just be the ones that got away or another enemy for Darcy.

“YOU USED TO CATCH ME IN YOUR BEDSHEETS JUST A-RATTLING YOUR CHAINS” || THE BAD HABIT: This one can go one of two ways, and it’s the most specific thing ever. Whether it was Darcy’s friend who managed to graduate when he was held back or someone else, he started hooking up with someone in their college apartment. One night, bored, he wandered into the kitchen and unsuspectingly found their roommate. They chatted, and while his hook up was deep in their slumber, he found some humble entertainment with them. The next day, the roommate confessed but it wasn’t without twisting the truth. They said that they slept with Darcy, and it caused some strife between him and his friend despite the lie. As a way of getting back at them both, Darcy hooked up with them again and then made a note of hooking up with the roommate right after like they lied about.

“DON’T YOU PRAY TO A COCAINE JESUS, IN A BLACK FOUR SEATER” || THE NOSTALGIA: Darcy steered away from drinking and drugs most of his life, though he never turned his nose up at his friends who took their dance with it. Some of the crowds he hung around in his youth took their taste of drugs, candy, alcohol and Darcy was always the one who could get everyone home in one piece if his sharps turns didn’t take the best of him. After everything he’s been through, Darcy’s about to finally have a taste and it won’t end well. This muse is someone from his past who will connect the dots on why he’s never given in, and see partake in a downfall even Darcy didn’t know he was capable of.

“BITTERSWEET SURRENDER, EVERYTHING IS BETTER NOW” || THE OPTIMIST: This muse is the key to getting Darcy to do good. He has no intention of interacting with his father, but he knows for Tristan’s sake there needs to be some reconciliation. This muse is the push he needs to settle the bad blood, that way he can move on. It won’t come without its bumps, though, and every attempt on his behalf to anything but surrender to what has already happened.

“A CHOKING ROSE BACK TO BE REBORN” || THE ROLE REVERSAL: So far, Darcy’s been hounded about his reentry since the day he could wear denim over a jumpsuit. This muse is someone he has to look out for instead of the other way around, whether it be because it started as a second glance because they seemed like trouble or an old friend. 

"NOT A FOX FOUND IN YOUR PLACE” || THE TRAITOR: Darcy had his short lived glory in high school where he excelled at sports. When he had gifted with the chance in a scholarship to get away from Asteria, his disorder seemed to only get worse and affect his performance like it never did before. It costed his team more than one game until he eventually parted ways with football for good. There’s some that are still bitter with him to this day because of it.  

“IF MISERY LOVES COMPANY, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE. WON’T YOU PLEASE JUST LOOK AT ME?” || THE TEMPTATION: This is your typical we shouldn’t but we can’t get enough. Listen to that song, and you’ll know the vibes. It can go anywhere from Darcy being the reason for a break up, or a new secret in what should be nothing more than a happy relationship. Gimme Darcy sleeping with a married woman, thanks.

What Remains Hidden

                        I spent the least enjoyable portion of my week in a termination interview for an employee, with whom I had worked for a number of years.  The man had run afoul of our 10-point no fault attendance policy.  The employee, who is a friend, had scored an impressive array of points in all sorts of amazing circumstances within a relatively short period of time.  He was like the Michael Jordan of attendance infractions – raining in the points in one and two point weekly episodes.  His stories ranged from the incredible to the improbable, but as usual he and his union representative focused in on the couple of points that might be in doubt so that the man could remain an employee of our company.

I encouraged both of them to pursue their grievance, because I respected the excellent work that the employee had done for us previous to his most recent run of total unreliability, poor workmanship and serial distraction.  My friend, an ex-con and recovering addict, had been a great talisman for human potential and second chances until his struggles in the last eight months.  

But really, I explained to them both, gaining my friend an extra couple of weeks of employment really seemed like a lot of bother and paperwork prior to his inevitable final flameout with the next one or two point incident.  I posited that the employee needed to fix whatever the root cause was that was making him the second most prolific scorer of attendance points in the history of our facility.  My friend’s visage flickered brighter momentarily and he blurted out, “You mean I should do something to resolve all this car trouble I’ve been having.”  

“No,” I replied, “that is probably not what you need to take care of.”  What was hidden remained concealed; my intervention failed.  We finished up the required paperwork and the transacted our final goodbyes.  After he left, I prayed to Pam to intercede for my friend at whatever level she has access. In the short term, his future looks pretty bleak.

My bereavement meeting with widows and widowers in the Hall at 6PM of Thursday was a much brighter chapter of my week.  The meeting doesn’t take long, but it is a good chance to review the ups and downs of my life with some other people who are walking similar paths.  This week we discussed how to get through the holidays, a uniquely challenging season for people in our circumstance.

In our discussion of family vendettas that sometimes occur at Thanksgiving, it struck me that hidden things can contribute to family friction as well.  Like rocks submerged in navigable waters, underlying and unspoken issues can ruin family harmony and destroy relationships.  One person described a death of a father that occurred two days before a family gathering several years ago.  A couple of siblings immediately engaged in an argument that has separated them for the several years since.  Was the father previously acting in a way that prevented the full exercise of an otherwise underlying bitterness in the family?  Were the siblings, like my daughter Abby and I did after Pam’s death, choosing to argue over some unimportant minutia as a distraction from their overwhelming grief.  The road to reconciliation is different depending on the underlying true cause of the disagreement, a cause that must be brought to light for resolution.

Unspoken issues and unconscious motivations are ubiquitous to the human condition.  I met two friends for lunch the other day, and in our discussion it became clear that both men were being shaped by the Holy Spirit in particular ways without an apparent root cause.  Through our conversation over several hours, more and more puzzle pieces were added to their stories so that a vague idea of what God was trying to accomplish became more discernable.  

The first man works for law enforcement in one of the most violent neighborhoods of our local area, yet he is walking ever closer to the Lord in his daily life.  While waiting for our other friend to arrive, he and I discussed a recent shooting that he had witnessed and how our reaction to the tragedy differed so greatly from the laughing perspective of a person who had uploaded video of the same incident onto YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvEKq5CeGJo&sns=em). (Violent content)  

My friend had been driven to pray the Hail Mary aloud during the ordeal.  By contrast, for the person filming the car-jacker dying in a hail of bullets, the incident was pure entertainment.  I have struggled with the purpose of why the Holy Spirit moved my friend to his quiet act of piety for several weeks, but in the course of our conversation it became apparent to me that my friend’s outlook on his whole career had been altered by being inspired to make a few simple prayers.  He has spent the ensuing time considering the plethora of poor corpses that he seen over the years and has begun to pray for their many souls.  Before the incident my friend had protected his sanity at work with a Kevlar vest of emotional detachment.  Now the policeman was allowing the plight of perpetrators and victims alike to touch him in a very human way. I expect that the Holy Spirit is preparing him for additional service to the community in a new role.  Instead of merely maintaining the simple peace of the community; his future will involve leading others to the profound peace of Christ.

My other friend arrived later and described the gravity like pull he feels in his life towards devotion to the Virgin Mary.  Although, he was Catholic as a young child, his family made a few years long foray into the Protestant faith.  He returned only in recent years carrying much of the same anti-Marian baggage that I also lugged around for thirty or so years.  Lately, my friend has been feeling irresistible urges to pray to Mary for a very specific thing that have been subsequently granted in dramatic fashion. He has also received a free copy of Tim Staples’ new book, Behold Your Mother, under unusual circumstances. Through seeming coincidence, he was likewise put into a situation regarding the visit of the Fatima statue to IHM that removed his visceral dread of praying to Mary and Jesus through painted or sculpted representations of them.  

None of these dominos that appeared to be buffeting my friend towards a vocation in the Blue Army made sense to me. Why was my friend such a high value target for conversion to devotion to Our Lady?  Finally, he confided in us that as a young child he had been awed by a beautiful Christmas card of Mary holding Jesus.  He subsequently, cut Mary out, pasted her up above his bed and prayed to Her nightly. By appearances Mary is not making a new claim to a convert; she is exercising a latent consecration that has lain dormant for decades.  My friend has always had an underlying Marian devotion and he is going through a process of rediscovering the childlike faith that he had once possessed - a faith of simplicity that is the sweetest oblation to Our Lord.

In my case, forever the observer, my subterranean tensions remained hidden at our lunch.  I spent the weekend pondering the lingering questions about my own vocation.  In A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis draws a simile between being a widower and having a leg amputated.  I guess I have reached the emotional state he described as functional hobbling.  I now know that I can effectively hop through my work day – no matter how full of dysfunction.  What remains uncertain is whether I can stumble along effectively as I resume my duties as a parent of a nine-year old girl or whether I can go a step further and emotionally juggle answering God’s call to seek ordination as a deacon.  To be effective in either role, there seems to be a necessity for a prerequisite joyfulness and hope that I seem to be lacking.  Still my current inclination is to step over the gunwales and into the waves and try to walk towards Jesus in hopes that I find something in His eyes to replace my inner storm with serenity.

Finally, I had another experience with hidden issues over the weekend.  Scrolling through people’s personal errata on Facebook, I happened across a video link that promised hope for divorced people.  Because I am so emotion starved, the video, called Rejoice,  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdxLwqGsRkQ) seemed to exercise a gravitational pull at my heartstrings.  The attraction disconcerted me as the scourge of divorce is as irrelevant to my current personal situation as is a couples nights out.  I felt compelled to watch the film even to the point of ignoring the timewasting Facebook game that has obsessed me for a week.  I even rebooted when it froze and accessed it through several different links until I was able to watch the whole thing.  In the end, I was reduced to strange tears as the video left me with an impression of hopefulness for the hero and heroine.  This romantic rock submerged in my sub-conscious surprises me whenever I run afoul of it, but it used to make Pam smile whenever she could conn me into watching the Notebook or something similar.  I will have to be more careful in my social media scrolling in the future.

Cyber security threats are the major concern which may bother passengers in sharing their details with the smart airport system. Also, unauthorized usage of the system poses a threat to the airport administration IT solutions, central reservation systems, and passenger name records. It also includes unauthorized modification of software and hardware or any IT and communication system. Physical attacks in the form of vandalism, sabotage and explosives on airport assets can result in losses to the stakeholders and assets. Furthermore, human error is also one of the biggest threat which is caused by network administrators. Configuration errors can negatively impact security or operations in the form of cancelled flights, and system down time. Similarly end users, such as, airport employees can make errors by filling wrong passenger information.

The North American smart airports market was dominated by the US in 2018, however Canada is expected to witness faster growth during the forecast period. As US has the busiest airports, and the flying volume is increasing at a substantial rate each year, many airports here are in need of better ways to process the flyers.
