Oh my dead Klingon gods. Sexy sexy Enterprise. I’ll save the rest of the gushing for the comments. Let’s just say I think they stuck the landing. Continue reading Star Trek Discovery Season Two Finale

All right, second-to-last episode of the season, and we’ve got ice cream! Here is a place to talk about the episode and speculate about what will happen in next week’s finale. Have at it! Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E13: Such Sweet Sorrow

Extra! Extra! Star Trek! Get your discussion of the new Star Trek: Discovery episode here! Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E11: Perpetual Infinity

If you’re looking for a spot to talk about the latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery, well let me tell you, my friends, you’ve come to the right place! Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E10: The Red Angel

Here’s a space for talking about this week’s episode of, as you may have realized, Star Trek: Discovery. Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E9: Project Daedalus

I haven’t even seen this episode yet, but when I do, I’ll probably want to talk about it here! Hopefully this will do as a space for both Episode 7 “Light and Shadows” and Episode 8 “If Memory Serves.” Since … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E8: If Memory Serves

I hope Cookie Monster doesn’t mind.  I saw no review went up so I figured better late than never.   So, I’m loving this season of Discovery. After a rough grimdark start in season one, season two is much more … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E6: The Sound of Thunder

What can we expect after last week’s overstuffed episode? More, more, more, obviously! This ship never slows down!!! Here’s your space to discuss the latest episode of Discovery and speculate on whether Burnham is going to finally catch up with Spock … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E5: Saints of Imperfection

Discussion thread for this week’s Disco episode, in which, (spoilers, I guess) we finally meet Rebecca Romijn’s Number One. No word yet on when we get to the fireworks factory and catch up with a certain green-blooded hobgoblin. Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E4—An Obol for Charon

So, last week I missed reviewing “New Eden,” an episode that resembled classic Trek more than anything we’ve yet seen, given the away mission to a theme planet with a secret — a plot staple of TOS and TNG. I’m … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E3:Point of Light

We’re back! Discovery‘s season 2 pauses before diving back into the action, with a  terrific intro that shows footage from the real-life Cassini probe while Burnham intones the magic words, “Space… the final frontier.” But instead of hearing about the voyages of … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E1: Brother

Greetings, fellow Trekkies. A lot has happened since we wrapped season 1 of Discovery. S.J. Clarkson was announced as the director of Star Trek 4 II, which was then put on hold indefinitely while the actors’ contracts are in dispute. Quentin Tarantino’s … Continue reading Star Trek Discovery: Short Treks 1-3

From the beginning, Discovery has been concerned with identity. Burnham’s human nature pushing against her Vulcan upbringing. Saru’s fearful instincts holding back his heroic responsibilities as a Starfleet officer. Ash Tyler’s past as Voq, and then Voq’s outsider status as an … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery, S1E15: Will You Take My Hand?

The second-last show of a season is usually the one that raises the stakes, before things come to a head in the finale. So what do you do with a show where things come to a head every week, and … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E14: The War Within, The War Without

No cold open this week, we just drive right into it, and there’s a lot to dive into. For a show that rarely lets off the gas pedal (or drops out of warp, if you prefer), this week’s show seems … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E13: What’s Past Is Prologue

We can’t go too deep into a Star Trek show without some Shakespeare, so tonight’s title comes from MacBeth: “I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself and falls on th’ … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E12: Vaulting Ambition

We open on Disco’s power fluctuating — caused somehow by Stamets, found huddling in a corner, cradling his dead lover. The crew still don’t know who murdered Dr. Culver, so Saru and Tilly have to both solve the crime, and … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E11: The Wolf Inside

We’re back! And the U.S.S. Discovery is… not. After the spore drive mishap that ended the first half-season, the ship is in uncharted territory. Or, more accurately, the ship is in the right place, it’s everything else that’s wrong — they’re … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E10: Despite Yourself

This post was put up by a banned user.  The Avocado does not condone their actions and preserves their threads for the sake of the conversations in the comments. Since experiencing Star Wars fandom firsthand with the audience disappointment in the … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery: S1E6 “Lethe”

It wouldn’t be Star Trek without a hardass Admiral who doesn’t understand the realities out on the front lines, and a captain who disobeys orders because dammit, he gets results! Unfortunately, Lorca’s results are putting Lieutenant Stamets in danger. He’s … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E9: Into the Forest I Go
