    Star Trek: Discovery | Season 3, Episode 2 Recap: “Far From Home”
    Jessica Liese (@HaymakerHattie) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) pull up a chair at the nearest desolate bar to talk about this week’s episode of Star Trek: Discovery.
    While last week’s premiere focused on what happened to Michael Burnham when she fell out of the wormhole, now it’s the U.S.S. Discovery‘s turn. Stranded on a planet filled with parasitic ice and malicious couriers, the crew gets an abrupt taste of life in the 32nd century.

Discovery crew, along with the help of some new friends, must work together to restore hope to the Federation.

    Jessica Liese (@HaymakerHattie) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are glowing like a trance worm to talk about the season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Discovery.

Our own duo discuss everything they loved about the premiere, and speculate as to how the faithful crew will help bring hope to the universe.
