Stormy Weather
This Story: Season 4 Episode 6 (production code 406)
DSC Overall: Episode 48
Trek Overall: Story 729, Episode 774
Airdate: 23 Dec 2021
Written by Anne Cofell Saunders & Brandon Schultz
Directed by Jonathan Frakes
Notes
- The seventh of eight episodes of Discovery directed by TNG’s Jonathan Frakes.
- Discovery visits the galactic barrier, something first encountered in the second TOS pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before“.
- There is a loose reference to the TNG episode “Relics” here.
- There is a Deep Space Nine reference here when a Ferengi is shown being behind a bar, and a Lurian is seen sitting at a barstool, reminiscent of Quark & Morn.
- The USS Voyager is name checked here by Saru, but I’m unclear what specific episode they’re referring to here.

We get some different camera shots and styles here (see first screenshot). That's always good. It's made even better because the bulk of this ep is a "WTF is going on" plot. It reminds me of a few old

Trek eps (VOY Night & TOS Immunity Syndrome), but it's executed VERY well. The WTF merges with Frakes' directorial choices really well. We also dig into Gray's headspace being non commissioned and revived from the dead. We also dealt with Book's headspace here. A busy ep for sure, but a winner IMO.

There was a fun Deep Space Nine gag in an episode. At a bar in the ship, there was a Ferengi behind the bar, and a Lurian in front of it. They're not the main focus of the shot, but love seeing the Quark/Morn reference there. haha. :)
