Star Trek: Discovery - S1 • E7 Ratings & Reviews

This episode was entertaining, fun to watch and felt like the show has finally found his heart.
Slashfilm

When have we heard an awesome set like Wyclef Jean's "We Trying to Stay Alive" and Al Green's "Love and Happiness" in Star Trek? I want to know if these songs were on the writers' playlist as they were writing this episode.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
That's a lot of ground to cover in one episode, but, thanks to the whole time loop conceit, the episode was able to tackle it all and more, and in a convincing way.
Polygon
Susana Polo
... the episode was practically a checklist of beloved Star Trek mainstays...
Independent (UK)
Andrew Lowry
... it feels like a show growing in confidence, happy to deliver a more standalone story that's also far, far more fun than the torture 'n' treason-filled run up to this point.
The Daily Dot
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw
Zap me with a disruptor cannon and throw me to the Klingons, because Star Trek: Discovery just became everything I hoped and dreamed.
SFX Magazine
Lauren O'Callaghan
Another week, another unmissable Star Trek Discovery episode. It seems the show can do no (or at least very little) wrong as it takes Burnham and co on another whirlwind ride of character development.
The Young Folks
Andrea Thompson
In general, Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad is a charming interlude before the storm that seems ready to hit next week.
TV Line
Dave Nemetz
Well, that was a fun little brain-bender of a Star Trek: Discovery episode, wasn't it? (Harry Mudd plus a repeating time loop is a pretty reliable formula for quality, after all.)
Birth.Movies.Death.
Andrew Todd
It's the first episode of Discovery that genuinely feels like Star Trek. I really dug it, and that just further complicates my opinion of the show overall.
Den of Geek
Kayti Burt
"Magic" wasn't the most plot-tight episode Star Trek has ever given us, but it was a lot of action-packed fun - an hour that kept the characters and audience on its toes.
Empire Magazine
Ed Gross
There's a sense that as Discovery continues to define itself, it's seemingly moving back in the direction of more conventional sci-fi storytelling, and that would be unfortunate.
New York Times
Sopan Deb
Discovery has often lacked the ability to have fun with itself. This was the first episode to even try and it worked, even while keeping the stakes as high as possible.
TV Fanatic
Diana Keng
It's not what I could've predicted but Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 Episode 7 is probably the most Star Trek: The Next Generation-like episode in the series so far and that's not a bad thing... just unexpected.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Mallory Ortberg
I found myself unable to look away from [Anthony Rapp's] face, which was astonishingly expressive.
Entertainment Weekly
Eric Renner Brown
Star Trek: Discovery took a different tack in "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad." ...a welcome reprieve, considering that the Klingon story lines have been some of the show's weakest in its early installments.
indieWire
Liz Shannon Miller
What it genuinely is is the best kind of stand-alone, one which is built upon many previous events, and promises that it will have an impact on stories to come.
IGN Movies
Scott Collura
With "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad," Star Trek: Discovery proves that it can do lighter stories.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
I'm a sucker for a good time loop story. "Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad" is an okay one.
Akron Beacon Journal
George M. Thomas
It's a one-off, an episode that is less concerned with canon and moving that forward, instead providing a break and offering just a smidge more.
