Episodes

In our first episode of 2018, we take a detour off the beaten path to talk about the Netflix Black Mirror episode, USS Callister. Like all Black Mirror episodes, USS Callister takes a modern day dark twist on technology with a backdrop of a Trek-esque world. We give it the deep dive, and have vastly different opinions on Black Mirror’s first entry into their fourth season.

In what may be our last episode of 2017, we talk Star Trek Discovery “Season One, Chapter Two” speculation, giving our best guess at what the just announced episode titles could bring to the series. We also reflect on the fan love-hate relationship for the series, by diving into a bit of feedback. Finally we wrap things up, briefly talking about the Star Trek Discovery Soundtrack, and the newly announced IDW annual.

In this episode, we take a look at IDW’s first Star Trek Discovery comic book, “The Light of Kahless”. Join us as we give the book the deep-dive, as well as talk a bit about the Issacs/Shatner debacle, Black Mirror’s U.S.S. Callister trailer, and the Quenton Tarantino pitch to Paramount.

In this episode, we talk about that “other” show. Star Trek faithfuls have made no qualms about their love of “The Orville”, and how it has managed to capture some of that Star Trek magic. Throw in the vast differences in the tone of Discovery, along with the CBS All-Access paywall, and you have the makings of a true competitor. But how does the show really stand-up?

In this episode, we are doing things a bit differently! While the normal crew takes a bit of a break after covering the fall half of Star Trek: Discovery season one, we go to the Discussing Who archives for a review of the 2016 movie Star Trek Beyond! Join in as Kyle Jones, Lee Shackleford and Clarence Brown give their thoughts on the third Star Trek movie based in the Kelvin-universe!

The first-half of season one is in the books, and it ended with quite the bang. As Stamets sacrifices his well-being for the success of the mission, Burnham and Tyler infiltrate the sarcophagus ship to complete the second leg of an equally dangerous and complicated plan to crack the Klingon cloak. Stay tuned as we unpack this action-packed ground-breaking episode of Star Trek Discovery.

The cloaking technology of the sarcophagus ship is spreading among the Klingon houses and the Federation is on the hunt to find scanning technology that can detect their presence — but Saru finds so much more. Join us we take a deep dive into “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (if you want peace, prepare for war)”.

Groundhog Day is among us! DISCO is hitting all cylinders as we get a Mudd-filled time-loop episode! Join us as we review Star Trek Discovery “Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad”.

In episode six of Star Trek Discovery, Sarek runs into a bit of trouble — what is it about these darn shuttles! As Sarek tries to foster an end to the war with the Klingons, Vulcan logic extremist have plans of their own. Join us as we review, “Lethe”.

In episode five of Star Trek Discovery, an impact is made on the history of the franchise. Whether it’s dropping f-bombs or romantic endeavors, one thing is clear — it’s not your daddy’s Star Trek. Buckle in for a captured captain, a tardigrade’s plea, a rash decision, and a daring escape! Join us as we review, “Choose Your Pain”.
