- Second Officer Slog 051: Discovery S02E13 "Such Sweet Sorrow" part i
In the penultimate episode of Discovery season 2, Tilly’s girlfriend returns, everyone gets a goodbye, everyone gets another goodbye, and nothing really happens. Sorry for a downer one, it will be over soon.
The article about the design of the Enterprise Em mentions: Design Secrets of Discovery’s New USS Enterprise Bridge
0 min - Second Officer Slog 050: Discovery S02E12 "Through the Valley of Shadows"
We’re so very, very tired in this, the prepenultimate episode of Discovery season 2. Live long and prosper.
0 min - Second Officer Slog 049: Discovery S02E11 "Perpetual Infinity"
Finally Discovery rights itself and we have what we both consider to just be a good episode of Star Trek. Given that it involves forgetting major character motivations and making one of the characters a literal terminator, are we perhaps just forced to lower our standards? Or is it true that the only thing that we like more than good Trek is bad Trek? Time will tell as we have until the 32nd century to find the answer in this, the latest Discovery episode.

The Discovery solves several mysteries as another giant one opens before them in this episode that splits us in two on what exactly we want or are willing to accept from modern Star Trek. One thing’s for sure, Georgiou would NEVER sleep with Stammets in any universe. The intensity of nonsense ramps up … now!
0 min - Second Officer Slog 047: Discovery S02E09 "Project Daedalus"
Wasted potential and piss poor writing does not a good episode make, but we do our best to talk through exactly why this episode of Discovery set a new low for this show. Sorry for the downer one, folks, hopefully next week picks back up!
0 min - Second Officer Slog 046: Discovery S02E08 "If Memory Serves"
We’re back to the very beginning as Spock and Burnham go to Talos IV, Christopher Pike actually gets a character arc 50 years later, and Saru reveals that he might never actually be fit for command now that he’s evolved. All this and more as we come into the back half of season 2 and try hard not to just talk about Enterprise again.
0 min - Second Officer Slog 045: Discovery S02E07 "Light and Shadows"
We finally spend most of the episode talking about the actual episode of Star Trek, which means Sarek must be involved! But don’t worry, we get a little bit of time to yell about Enterprise, as is our wont. Also, a shocking revelation about the mirror universe that changes everything forever.

The only thing better than good Star Trek is bad Star Trek.
- Gene Roddenberry, 1961
0 min - Second Officer Slog 043: Discovery S02E05 "Saints of Imperfection"
Light spoilers for a bunch of DS9 and Enterprise in this episode.
What happens when Discovery has its most dramatic story yet? We find time to talk about everything but the actual events of this episode. Combadges, tachyon particles, hair choices, prime Lorca, and many other things besides dominate this especially tangential episode. Don’t worry, everything is saved with a kiss. It’s good, actually.
0 min - Second Officer Slog 042: Discovery S02E04 "An Obol for Charon"
Saru gets sick, Number One gets a burg, and Stamets gets high af in our fourth episode of Discovery season 2! We cover the ups and downs of this episode, and finally get around to disagreeing on Discovery for maybe the first time? Please enjoy the adventure with us!
