Starfleet Academy: Star Trek Discovery

Listen to Jules and Ella’s take on Star Trek: Discovery’s Season 1 Finale! S1E15

We’re one episode away from the season finale of STAR TREK DISCOVERY, SEASON 1! The War Without The War Within is a solid episode with lots of character work, freeing us up to concentrate on plot for the finale.

Join Jules and Ella as they discuss What’s Past is Prologue, an aptly referenced The Tempest quote, as this episode is a furious storm of action and converging plots, in what feels like a season finale. With two episodes left to go, the girls discuss the direction of the show.

SPOILERS….Emperor Georgiou sees newfound opportunity when she discovers Michael’s true identity and Lorca’s ambitions are yet to be revealed but they are probably no-less than taking over the world..sss. Jules and Ella get into some series therapy, discussing ways that DISCOVERY can do a ‘Mirror Universe season’ justice, and the shape of Tyler to come! Jules ends the episode with a prayer to the Star Trek Gods.

Jules and Ella are getting excited about Star Trek Discovery, as The Wolf Inside proves to be another stand-out episode. The Mirror Universe is the perfect playground for these characters and we have a huge progression in the Tyler/Voq arc. Has Discovery officially hit it’s proverbial stride? All this and more in another episode of Starfleet Academy.

We’re back from the mid-season finale and it’s a whole new world, literally. Welcome to the “Mirror Universe,” where the USS Discovery is trapped, much in a Voyager-esq way, far from home. Jules and Ella discuss the future “show engine” and our reactions to the big reveal.

It’s all happening in the mid-season finale of Star Trek Discovery. We manage to lose the momentum from the previous episode and a long running season arc gets some resolution.

It’s an away mission y’all, and we have a sparkle-yurt. Next up is the mid-season finale, and this episode serves to set up that conflict. Episode highlight: Saru’s sprint.

In this episode of Starfleet Academy, Jules and Ella review Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad, S1E7. The show hits its stride, although the Star Trek romantic curse persists as Michael might have more chemistry with the Gormagander than Lt. Tyler. At least there’s no Jamaharon.

Jules and Ella review Lethe (S1E6), where Michael falls into the “oblivion”  of Katra. The girls discuss the weirdness that is Lt. Ash Tyler, Lorca’s game and the Antedean connection. Stay tuned after the credits for Ella outakes.
