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”.

Lorca unexpectedly finds himself in the company of a prisoner of war, Starfleet Lieutenant Ash Tyler, and a notorious intergalactic criminal, Harry Mudd. Meanwhile, Burnham voices her concerns about the repercussions of the spore drive jumps on “Ripper.”
