Every show plods along during the season. It has its ups and downs, but when it reaches those last few episodes of the season the action ratchets up, the drama and intrigue increase exponentially and the stakes get incredibly higher. Discovery has reached this end point and things just picked up.
For the past several weeks I have practically had Last Christmas with Emilia Clarke or auto-play. Its a fantastically funny Christmas Comedy with a nice little twist to it. How does this pertain to Discovery? Emilia's boss, Santa, who owns the year-round Christmas shop where she works, sasses her,

What happens when you make a movie that's about four years too late on its subject matter? You get The Social Reckoning. At this point in our lives, we all know that social media is a cesspool and that a lot of that is Facebook/Meta's fault. They chose to act like the silent arbiter and actively
