Discovery Recap: An Obol for Charon (S2E4)

On a mission to hunt down a renegade Spock and find out what he knows about the mysterious Red Angels that have potentially driven him to the brink of madness, Discovery's pursuit gets an unexpected interruption when a mysterious sphere of energy pulls them out of warp and plays havoc with ship systems. With on board functions from life support to translators suddenly failing ship-wide, the crew try to escape the sphere's grasp as Burnham and an extremely ill Saru try to find out what it is and how to escape it as they patch together Discovery. Meanwhile in Engineering, Stamets and Starfleet hitch-hiker Jet Reno are trapped in the spore drive lab as it falls into shutdown, but as systems fail the mycelial network alien Stamets had previously extracted from Tilly escapes and locks itself to the young ensign, […]

Discovery Recap: Point of Light (S3E3)

While Discovery and it's crew dash through the stars on their new mission, finding a new groove in the process, the Klingons had been left on the sidelines since L'Rell captured the throne to become Chancellor; Tyler in tow hoping to figure out who he really was. Point of Light brings the Klingons back to the forefront as we catch up with L'Rell's reign as chancellor to find that her fight to complete T'Kuvma's unification of the Empire has been a rougher challenge than she had hoped... The Ascension Much like the first seasons Context is for Kings, we again see the third episode bring the pace down as we return to play catch up with the Klingons.

Discovery Recap: New Eden (S2E2)

In a return to the original series format for Star Trk, Discovery's New Eden was a strange combination of intriguing character arcs and a huge dose of nostalgia. In the second chapter of the seasons mystery, Captain Pike learns two things; one, there's a red burst pointing in the direction of a far off distress signal. Two, he's just taken command of a ship that can zap through space in an instant thanks to a magic mushroom highway. Ignoring the law for the greater good, Pike asks Stamets to strap himself into the spore drive once again to get them to the source of the signal where they find a remarkably Earth-like world filled with pre-warp humans with limited technology and a strange faith... Terralisia In it's run so far, Discovery has been more adventurous in it's format, creating it's […]

Retro Review: Way of the Warrior (Comms Highlights)

Whenever you ask a DS9 fan where to start, the answer is rarely from the beginning. The first seasons of the show were good, sometimes great. The foundations were laid for a darker show than the flagship adventures of the Enterprise We had Federation turncoats in the Maquis; an uneasy peace between Bajor and their former oppressors in Cardassia; there was politics and religion crossing over on all fronts and from the end of season two we had the Dominion lurking on the far side of the wormhole teasing their incoming takeover of Federation Space. It was a packed show with a lot of threads running. And then Paramount made a decision. They wanted more Klingons. They hired Michael Dorn to carry Worf over from the Enterprise to DS9. Decisions made above the producers heads forced them to change course, […]
