This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers.

Thats not the case for this weeksDiscoseason five episode Jinaal.
Through Zhiantara, Bix allows Jinaal to embody Dr. Culber, who takes the duo to the next clue.
The stakes of Facets werent quite so high, and fittingly, neither was the episodes tone.
OBrien becomes nervy and scared when Tobin possesses him, while the maternal Audrid softens Quarks hard edges.
The murderous Joran transforms Sisko into aHannibal Lectertype, making malevolent observations through an invisible holding cell wall.
Culbers transformation isnt quite so dramatic.
Unlike Culber, Auberjonois and Avery Brooks (Sisko) go hard into playing off-beat characters.
Never one for subtlety, Brooks chews all the scenery available to him as the evil genius Joran.
Drawing from his many years on stage, Auberjonois exaggerates every gesture.
Which isnt always a bad thing.
Star Trek: Discovery is streaming now on Paramount+.
