Startrek discovery episode 4: The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry

Micheal is still on the discovery and will continue to do so for the rest of the series I suppose.


To us it is revealed what she has to do on this ship and why the captain asked her to stay, which means that she still have some use for Starfleet. She has to investigate this mysterious animal they brought along from the crashed sister ship. From which they also have some material salvaged from. In this ship there was no forest like in the Discovery. The thing is that the animal is feeding or something like that on the spores that are being used to teleport to some location and this animal is he key together with some kind of machine they build to tap into the animal and this shows them a starmap and they can use this to teleport long distances without having a supercomputer onboard.

This enables them to jump to the defence of Ceylon 2 a mining colony but not at a great expense, the animal has gone into some sort of hybernation and refuses and cannot be used on teleport so the chief engeneer puts the spores on himself and because of that he nearly dies.This is the summary of the entire episode, The animal gets researched, while a mining colony is under attack and the only ship from starfleet who can get there in time with the help of jumps, the animals gets mistreated and the chief engineer almost dies.

I liked this episode because indeed the story gets kicked off in this episodes and the last episodes were just some kind of prelude or something. The character development in this series is a little bit weak to be honest but this can also be saved in the following episodes or I am missing something.
