Voyager’s “Macrocosm“), and now
Discovery takes its turn as Burnham, Book, and the bridge crew work to take the ship back from Osyraa.
There’s a lot to like about “There is a Tide…” only some of which involves the
Die Hard riff. But what’s great about the action-movie parts of the episode is that there is very little of the stupid plot tricks that tend to mar such plotlines. It starts with Osyraa not going right away into Starfleet HQ, but (a) having a plan and (b) not being able to implement that plan until her crew has the hang of running the ship.
