What to Know

Critics Consensus

An exercise in anxiety management, "Through the Valley of Shadows" adds yet another satisfying layer to Michael and Spock's relationship -- if only it were a little less obvious in its machinations.

Some plot holes you can live with - even the best iterations of Trek have them. But [this] was too much for me to bear. Go to Full Review Devon Maloney New York Magazine/Vulture 04/08/2019
3/5
That's right, it's that time again - time to blow up an extremely expensive ship to stop evil robots from getting what they want. Feels good to be back. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club 04/08/2019

This is one of those piece-moving episodes critics like myself are always talking about. After last week's emotional highs, we're back to business as usual, or as much as business can ever be "usual" on Discovery. Go to Full Review James Whitbrook io9.com 04/08/2019
It's a great coming together of Spock and Michael's arc over these past few episodes. Go to Full Review Alexander Zalben Decider 04/08/2019
With two episodes left in the season, and years to go before this turning point in Pike's life, we may never find out. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Slashfilm 04/08/2019
It probably sounds like I hated this episode. Not at all-just consider this review an expression of my anxiety and annoyance at having to wait until next Thursday to know what all of this means. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
