After finally being reunited — just hours for the crew, but a year for Michael Burnham — the USS Discovery team is back together for “People of Earth,” the third episode of the season.
Returning to the Discovery for the first time since her arrival in the 32nd century, Commander Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) must make the adjustment after being separated for so long — spending her days getting used to the idea that her crewmates were gone for good. Book (David Ajala) visits Discovery for the first time as well, as the ship heads to Earth to see what the future has made of their home planet.
This is the first episode for cast newcomer Blu del Barrio, who plays Adira, set to join the Discovery story for their Season 3 adventures for the upcoming run of episodes — and is the first of three episodes this season to be directed by Jonathan Frakes.
Here are 13 new photos from “Far From Home,” along with one previously-released image:
Finally, if you didn’t catch it at the end of “Far From Home,” here’s a new preview for the episode, along with a clip from “People of Earth” which aired as part of last week’s episode of The Ready Room.
PEOPLE OF EARTH — Finally reunited, Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery crew journey to Earth, eager to learn what happened to the Federation in their absence.
Written by Bo Yeon Kim & Erika Lippoldt.
Directed by Jonathan Frakes.
