Rad Angel (Discovery S2E10)

Rad or… Bad?
The identity of the red angel is revealed! And then some. What is the best way to catch a time traveler who might have pertinant information at its disposal?

Sean is back. Where was he last week and what is going on with Star Trek Discovery?  

The streak is broken and Wade wasn’t as big a fan of this episode. 

Can Glen do a “short” synopsis?  All questions will be answered!

Project Dad is Us (Discovery S2E09)

The streak of episodes we like continues.  A background character gets some background for once and hey they pull off things in this episode of Star Trek: Discovery that S1 did not manage quite so well. 

Wade is joined by Glen Hall again, but no Sean Perrotta.  Lane Bowen does make a return, but without his wife or infant this time around.  

Chrysalis (DS9 S7E05)

One Flew Back to the Cuckoo’s Nest. Do Re OH NO.

Julian brings a patient out of a catatonic state and what’s the first thing he does after?  

Julian. Your ethics, man.  Has he learned anything over the seasons?  How toxic is the masculinity?  Are we supposed to be rooting for him or not?  How does Miles feel about Julian’s situation?

If I Recall Correctly (Discovery S2E08)

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. 
Pike and Tyler get caught up in some time shenanigans and learn a little bit about themselves.

Wade turns to Kristin from Toronto for her thoughts on the Kickers of Elves discord.
What about that space dyslexia?
What do we think of some of the theories and predictions out there on the web?
We have some other shows to talk about at the end.

A Sound of Thunder and Criticism (Discovery S2E06)

Saru goes home and isn’t putting up with any bs.  But we are.  

Benny Scheckner (instagram.com/chickenbonesontheground) joins Wade, Glen Hall and Sean Perrotta to say nice things about Star Trek Discovery.

What IS a companion, really?

Shadows and Symbols (DS9 S7E02)

We learn a little something about Ben Sisko’s origin. OH, and it’s time to spend more time with that “Ezri Dax” that showed up at the end of last episode.

Research:  Website coming soon.

Ezri: No stumbling out the gate on this one.

Would we have still preferred some stunt casting? What was the thinking behind picking Nicole De Boer?
