Captain Burnham learns that sometimes there are strings attached. Join your programmable-matter-filled hosts as they discuss the setup to another season-long arc for Star Trek: Discovery, the benefit of an friendly antagonist who makes reasonable points, and potential discomfort at having a living butterfly as a flapping battle mask.

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! Folks who have been locked out of watching Discovery in their region should check our feed for bonus, non-Discovery Trek content.

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 with “Anomaly”

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.
