The Review at the End of the Universe
“If Memory Serves” Star Trek: Discovery revisits the first aliens ever encountered in the franchise when Michael takes Spock to Talos IV in an effort to heal his fractured mind. Nostalgia is really big these days. Hardly a day goes by without some project being greenlit with the intension of capitalising on nostalgia in order…
“Light and Shadows” Star Trek: Discovery concludes the search for Spock, ramps up the mystery surrounding him and deals with a temporal anomaly at the halfway point of the season. As a Star Trek fan there’s a large degree of comfort that comes with a good old temporal anomaly story. There have been numerous examples…
“The Sounds of Thunder” Star Trek: Discovery explores the implications of Saru’s recent realisation when a red burst appears over his home planet. As a new species in the Star Trek canon it was inevitable that audiences would eventually get a look at Saru’s home planet in order to develop his character through showing where…
“Saints of Imperfection” Star Trek: Discovery has the crew embark on a daring rescue mission to retrieve Tilly from the clutches of the Mycelial Network.

“Point of Light” Star Trek: Discovery checks in with L’Rell and Tyler and Amanda pays a visit to the Discovery to enlist Burnham’s help in resolving the Spock situation. Last season ended with L’Rell seizing power in the Klingon Empire by having her finger on the detonator of a bomb that could wipe out the…
Star Trek Discovery continues to explore the mystery of the red bursts and takes the crew to an undiscovered Human colony on the other side of the galaxy. I mentioned last week that the red burst story could act as little more than an enabler for plot, acting as an excuse to take the ship…
Star Trek: Discovery returned to screens very recently for a second season so it merited a discussion as well as a crossover with a friendly podcast. Lee from The Nerd Party joined Craig for a discussion about the season 2 premier “Brother” as well as all things Star Trek. Among the topics of discussion are…
“Brother” Star Trek: Discovery returns for a second season with the introduction of a mystery that spans the galaxy and the appointment of a new Captain on a temporary basis. The return of this show is something I’ve been eagerly anticipating since the last season ended. Star Trek is my favourite franchise and I found…
Star Trek: Discovery recently completed its first season which merits a discussion about the post hiatus adventures of this new Star Trek show. As always the conversation veered off on important tangents such as other corners of the Star Trek universe and real world goings on that inspired the events of this show. Naturally a…
