What to Know

Critics Consensus

Still no Spock, but "Point of Light" comes through with a surprise entrance that makes up for spotty storytelling and the episode's strange fascination with decapitation.

It offered crowded, haphazard and choppy storytelling with bold choices that depart from historic Trek norms. (A suggested decapitation? Yikes!) Go to Full Review Devon Maloney New York Magazine/Vulture 02/01/2019
3/5
I've gotta admit that Emperor Georgiou's surprise entrance, like some sort of avenging Enfys Nest/Boba Fett hybrid, was positively delightful. Go to Full Review Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly 02/01/2019

Osunsanmi (who's also an executive producer this season) has a playful eye for scene construction, and a gift for infusing conversation scenes with kinetic wit. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Slashfilm 02/08/2019
It was an episode that further laid out the components of this season's mystery, so for that, it was worth the watch. Go to Full Review Diana Keng TV Fanatic 02/02/2019
4/5
Best part, hands down, was Georgiou's return as a Section 31 operative. Go to Full Review Gavia Baker-Whitelaw The Daily Dot 02/02/2019
Your mileage may vary, but overwrought royal feuds are exactly what I hoped to see when Discovery gave the Klingons a central role. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
