Saru talks to an elderly orphan while Burnham and company try to retake their ship. Join your dilithium-dependent hosts as they discuss the astute use of fantasy tropes in this episode, the melding of 1980’s Star Trek vibes with modern production values, and the dangers inherent to insulting someone’s cat.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We travel back in time to discuss ‘Mirror, Mirror,’ the fourth episode of Star Trek: The Original Series’ second season.

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
