A Disco Inferno Home Companion Burn it All Down What Are We Even Doing Here- Oh wait. It’s a Podcast
Wade, Glen and Sean are back. We come not to bury Star Trek: Discovery, but to praise it… what we can about it. It’s dying at the end of the season anyway. We also come to criticize. Mostly that. But for the right reasons, people. We promise. If you hate how gay it is, we can’t help you there. That goes back to the things we can say positive about it.

Pike’s imaginary girlfriend shows up and a deep, dark, unforgivable and totally life altering secret shame that Michael Burnham has been hiding for years, comes to light.
[Totally not a rote typical sibling interaction]
Only two companions, Glen and Sean, join Wade this week. But we’re… close. Too close? If you’re still listening after two minutes, Glen baits the hook for an incredible, life affirming joke he’s saving for the end of the pod.
Light and Shadows is Fine (Discovery S2E07)
We finally have Spock, and it is … fine. Time rifts are fine. We’re… pretty good?
For all the leadup to this episode it didn’t instill any wild emotions that we’ll need to use our logic to suppress.

An Opal for Sharon?

A Short Talk about Short Trek: Calypso
Wade is joined by Courtney Bowen and Lane Bowen to talk about the Short Trek, “Calypso,” written by novelist Michael Chabon.
Just how many scifi references can three people see in a 15 minute short? From Her to Ursula K. Le Guin, to Mass Effect, and Asimov’s Foundation.
But most importantly, The Odyssey.
After that we hit on a few of the latest news and reveals in the realm of new Star Trek. From the Picard show’s airdate to crude opinions on the latest Spock and Gregory Peck’s grandson.
Think we’re kind of being jerks about the whole thing? To Gregory Peck’s grandson? Want to yell at Wade for getting it all wrong and confusing Calypso with Circe? Well come at us at 917 408 3898
