Black alert, maman! Discovery discovers no more. Time to wrap it all up, maman. What's the deal with the Progenitor's tech? Who is Kovich really? How can it sync up with Craft crap? There's a lot to settle, maman.Episode Reviewed:Star Trek: Discovery 5x10- "Life, Itself"Hosts:David C.

A sprawling library maze and a guide who looks like Book. Not a terrible test, maman. But they need to call an electrician, cause the lights keep going out. Can't read in the dark, maman.

This one's a pretty good one, maman. Not much to dook on here! Maybe the best episode of the season so far! Not lookin' good for L'ak, maman. Good bluffs, good politics, scary war loomin'...

The Mirrorverse Enterprise is hidin' in some kinda extradimensional something, maman. We're looking with glassy eyes at Spock's console and gettin' closer to Book again.
