April 21, 2019 02:44 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MB

Turns out there was too much juicy goodness in the Star Trek Discovery season finale "Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2" that we needed to break this second part up into two additional parts.

This episode was written by Michelle Paradise, Jenny Lumet, and Alex Kurtzman with Olatunde Osunsanmi directing. Check out the podcast show page at www.disconightpodcast.co...

Through the Valley of Shadows - Star Trek Discovery 02x12 - Disco Night 032

April 06, 2019 21:19 - 55 minutes - 38.7 MB

There's a weird balance in this week's Star Trek Discovery where there is a lot of stuff happening, but a lot of it not feeling very consequential. Pike gazes into the looking glass and finds a future that elicits a reaction much like Carol Marcus' in Star Trek Into Darkness when Khan killed her father. A time crystal is procured, and all they lack is a suit to install it in, or the energy of a supernova to power it. Leland is nowhere to be found in this episode, but that doesn't mean the bu...
