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.
A rescue is launched into the mycelial network and more than just Tilly gets pulled out.
This week we’re joined by another friend of the podcast, Kristin Mueller-Heaslip, “Kristin from Toronto” herself.
Glen watched Season 1, leaving Sean as the clueless one.
How did we feel about this episode? What was fantastic, what was great, and what wasn’t? Did it hold up to repeated viewings?
What is “Saints of Imperfection” a reference to?

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.
This week a new companion jumps on to counter the ignorance of Glen and Sean. Friend of the pod Bucky (@BuckyWTGoodHair on Twitter) comes in to help explain trek lore and backstory where applicable and give his “expert” opinions on this episode plus why fans should be rooting for Disco to succeed.
On the back end we talk about some of the vicious rumors circulating about the show on twitter and youtube.
Let us know what you think! We’ll do something with your calls eventually!

“New Eden” brings a classic Star Trek episode, with tropes even non-Trekkers can identify as such. But aside from the away mission on the planet, can someone who hasn’t watched the Discovery make any sense out of the heavy space rock, spore drives, or Tilly’s secret friend back on the ship?
Wade is again joined by Glen Hall and Sean Perrotta, two Star Trek neophytes, but also by Benny Scheckner (https://www.instagram.com/chickenbonesontheground/), who has even LESS frame of reference for this episode.
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?
