A Star to Steer Her By

20/06/2025

While we spent yesterday's podcast episode analyzing all of Discovery season 2 in agonizing detail, Red Letter Media has already done it better.

Coming soon! Rich and Mike talk about Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery in depth. Also, yes. We'll talk about the new Picard trailer too. This scene is our dra...

We've wrapped season two of and boy do we have Thoughts! Check out our season highlights and lowlights as we say farewell to the 23rd century... for now.

By Ames I was so proud of myself for writing up a wrap-up post for Discovery season one in which I tried to keep as objective and unbiased as possible. You can barely tell I’m not a big Discovery fan!...

We've reached the end of S.2 of "Discovery" and...it's a LOT, guys. "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part II" is mostly action sequences all just strung together rapid-fire with only a few, regrettably-brief pauses for character work. Also one of the worst lines in the history of "Star Trek" is here. All we need is some Beastie Boys and we're at the crossroads of all off JJ Abrams' worst impulses.
Also this week: Bill & Ted, rocky ships, and wrapping season 2!

Queen Po shows up in and everyone who hadn't seen or had access to the Short Treks gets to feel as clueless as Scotty felt in "Relics."

How the engineering team was able to construct the Red Angel suit without the Ikea manual and accompanying Allen wrench is beyond me.

Having Saru—someone who straight-up fled Kaminar in the night—talking about balancing family and Starfleet is pretty damn rich. Literally any other character should have delivered this line.

One final look back at Star Trek: Enterprise and all of its multifaceted, captivating, cool, and often h***y kinds of new lifeforms!

We're coming to the end of Season 2 of Discovery, with the penultimate episode "Such Sweet Sorrow"! With the Sphere Data scuppering the Janeway Maneuver, the crew decides to recycle the time travel plan on a larger scale. But they're going to need some help from the "Enterprise" and a familiar face! Well, familiar if you watched the related "Short Trek", which was not possible in all regions...good job, Paramount.
Also this week: small space, tactical joke strike, and "Enterprise" aliens!

We are sad to hear that actor and director Harris Yulin has died. A legendary veteran of theater, film, and TV, he guest starred in one of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's most celebrated episodes, "Duet," as Aamin Marritza. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

While we're no big fans of the concept of in , at least we can retroactively blame them for other things we don't like.
