Star Trek: Discovery
From CBS All Access:
Star Trek, one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises, returns 50 years after it first premiered, with Star Trek: Discovery. The series will feature a new ship, new characters, and new missions while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers. Star Trek: Discovery premieres September 24 on CBS All Access.
Ten years before Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise, the USS Discovery discovers new worlds and lifeforms as one Starfleet officer learns to understand all things alien.
Our Discussion
Clearly, Dante and I are far more excited about Discovery’s direction than Isabela. We discuss the unexpected plot twists and feeling on edge throughout the show. The impossible internet theory came true to everyone’s surprise. I have a pretty wild take on that as well… we will see if it pans out! Catch our predictions at the end of the episode.
After we finished recording I mentioned this might be my favorite Trek. This is saying a lot since I have a long history of loving Star Trek series. This series puts me on edge. I care about and worry for the characters. Everyone feels at risk in a very real way. The gripping and unpredictable story keeps me, a plot guesser, on my toes.
To Discuss
What are you thinking about the series? How about that wild theory being true?
Until next time, get your Disco on!
Regina, Dante, and Isabela
