#238 – ‘Mirrors’ Discovery S5E05

Burnham and Book reflect on what’s eating up Moll and L’ak. Join your dimensionally-confused hosts as they discuss Commander Rayner’s progress integrating with his new crew, the perils of exposition-filled flashbacks, and a wormhole that looks suspiciously like a winking butthole.

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

Next week: Due to international travel getting in the way of timely recording we’ll be presenting a bonus minisode in which we predict what we think will happen in the next episode, ‘Whistlespeak’, and will also be releasing one of our Patreon exclusives in full. We will then cover both ‘Whistlespeak’ and episode 7 (titled ‘Erigah’) in the following episode of IGST, scheduled for release on Monday, May 13.

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.

#237 – ‘Face the Strange’ Discovery S5E04

Burnham, Rayner, and Stamets have to race against the clock to stop a malicious time bug.

#236 – ‘Jinaal’ Discovery S5E03

Book and Burnham team up with a worm ghost to seek out the next clue to the whereabouts of the Progenitors’ technology. Join your vicious bipedal hosts as they discuss thematically connected plotlines, linear puzzle-solving, and the trials and tribulations of a gruff old man who may suffer from undiagnosed social anxiety. Also there’s a lot of goofy music in this episode for some reason.

#235 – ‘Red Directive’ & ‘Under the Twin Moons’ Discovery S5E01 & 02

On the way to solve a mystery a puzzle is revealed. Join your harried hosts as they squeeze two episodes into one when they discuss the Star Trek: Discovery fifth season double-header premiere. Highlights include playful ribbing of a few over-the-top action set pieces, a celebration of another excellent Discovery soundtrack, and one host’s very special way to upgrade a tub of Cool Whip.

A series of characters learn to overcome various challenges. Join your time-constrained hosts as they discuss the advantages to short form storytelling in the Star Trek canon, the high-degree of care that the cast and production crew put into these efforts, and, of course, hormonal space rabbits.
