Star Trek: Discovery - S1 • E10 Ratings & Reviews
Cultured Vultures
Huw Saunders
While I can't knock the writers for wanting to get their money's worth from the evil universe, it does sort of reduce this episode to just another prologue.
Geeks of Color

Star Trek Discovery is back, with an episode full of intense, daring and shocking moments that will leave more than one wondering what just happened and what's next for our characters.
Ars Technica
Annalee Newitz
This series may be uneven, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
io9.com
James Whitbrook
Discovery's true strength is in its characters, in seeing how they exist with each other, and exploring how it can use its beloved scifi setting to ask intriguing questions, and mirror our own times.
Slashfilm
Monique Jones
Throughout all of the insanity this episode had to offer, the buried message was to not lose hope - there's always a way back to peace. Sometimes, you just have to go through some chaos first.
Independent (UK)
Andrew Lowry
A twist too far? Maybe, but this incarnation has in its bones a commentary on whether the hope encoded in original Trek can still persist today.
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
All of the first season's loose threads finally tying themselves together is anything but cheap. Its tone could end up being a fitting exploration of taking righteouness for granted.
The Verge
Devon Maloney
If "Despite Yourself" is any indication, things just might be looking up.
Syfy Wire
Swapna Krishna
All in all, this episode was an intense ride, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I love Star Trek: Discovery more with every episode that airs.
Mashable
Keith Wagstaff
This is the fascinating crucible the mirror universe should have always been. Let's hope the rest of Season 1 dives even deeper into the dark.
Entertainment Weekly
Eric Renner Brown
While "Despite Yourself" went heavy on exposition, it provided some promising strands for the forthcoming five episodes that'll conclude Discovery's debut season.
Digital Spy
Megan Davies
It's Lt Tyler's increasingly unstable sense of self and all the questions that go with it that once again proved the most compelling arc.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
Discovery remains, for the moment, still on a shaky course, albeit not quite as adrift as its eponymous starship.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Andrew Todd
"Despite Yourself" sets up what promises to be a much stronger back half for Discovery's first season, full of drama and excitement. It's great.
TV Fanatic
Diana Keng
I'm excited for this second chapter. Despite the mushy stuff.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
After endless self-seriousness, there is reason to believe that Star Trek has finally set phasers to "fun".
New York Magazine/Vulture
Mallory Ortberg
This is just the beginning of what's shaping up to be a powerful midseason reboot.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
Even though I think it's a mistake to set multiple episodes in the Mirror Universe, the story is going forward fast enough that I'm curious to see what happens next.
indieWire
Liz Shannon Miller
Get excited, hardcore Trek fans, because we're in the Mirror Universe!
New York Times
Sopan Deb
It's no surprise that this week's installment of Discovery was a strong one, especially because it was directed by someone who knows Trek intimately: -- William T. Riker himself, Jonathan Frakes.
