Klingons are back! And so are their follicles -But hey there’s a lot to cram in this episode between Klingons, fungi, and a Spock plot that none of us want.

Star Trek Discovery Season 2 Premiere – Oh, Brother

The wait is over! Star Trek Discovery Season 2 has begun!

Left adrift without his regular cohosts, Wade has assembled a rag tag team of scabs to watch Star Trek Discovery.

With no baggage from last season, or even much familiarity with Trek fandom itself, what will Sean Perrotta and Glen Hall have to say after watching just one episode? Will it totally ruin the Kickers of Elves brand if they actually love this show?
