WEIRDEST TREK EVER. That's the only way to describe Star Trek's return to television after a thirteen-year hiatus since the end of Enterprise. Bryan and Kristen tackle the first two hours of the show that helped launch Paramount+ (née CBS All Access) and try to figure out just what the adventures of Michael Burnham are supposed to be about. We don't even get to the USS Discovery by the end of these first two hours. Bold choice or shaky planning?

This is the five-year anniversary of Discovery's debut, making it the perfect time to revisit it and see if the show has been unfairly maligned during its run. Do the first two hours combine into something Star Trek fans would want to Trek, Marry, or Kill?
