Episode 8: The Trial Series

What do you make of Michael’s sentencing scene? Would Georgiou have been convicted of war crimes if she survived? What are the parallels from today’s prisons and “The Examples”? Why do Vulcan’s love withholding essential data? Is Gabrielle Burnham’s presence a conflict of interest? Join Ashlyn and Rhianna as we discuss the Trial episodes in Discovery!

This is the eighth episode of our Trial Series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the Trial episodes of every Star Trek show.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: War crimes, wrongful imprisonment, and the prison industrial complex.

SPOILER WARNING: Discovery

Next time, we’ll get shoved by Q to the disturbing reality in Picard!
