This week we're re-discovering Discovery - with a short trek, Saru says "Hello World!" and then Starfleet abducts his ass, why is it that Vulcans don't want to shake your hand?

Tilly is drunk with power, Captain Pike takes over the ship, somebody sneezes, and you don't have to wear a red shirt to get what's coming to you.
