Chris and Tyler dust off the microphones and ignore a ten thousand mile distance between them so that they can dig into the newly released Discovery Season 2 trailer. There are some major reveals, some tonal shifts, and some major hope for the future of Star Trek fandom.

The Trailer we discussed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGUl_RHuzE

Chris and Tyler discuss Netflix’s reboot of the classic sci-fi series Lost in Space, comparing it to Star Trek Discovery and other similar shows. We love the family aspects, we love the CG, and we love that there is just the right amount of “Danger, Will Robinson!”

At long last, Chris and Tyler talk through season one of Star Trek: Discovery as a whole, discussing its themes, its best and worst moments, favorite episodes and characters, and ultimately where they think the show will go.

Tyler joins Chris from a secret underground location to discuss the Star Trek: Discovery panel at Wondercon 2018. From uniform discussions to new characters to guesses as to where the second season will go, join The Next Trek in a supplemental episode.

Chris and Tyler begin their hiatus journey by exploring other major works of contemporary Science Fiction, this time with Netflix’s cyberpunk series Altered Carbon.

This is it! The finale of Star Trek Discovery season 1 is here and Chris and Tyler have many thoughts—just about all of them are good! Sit down, buckle up, and join us for our last recap of the season.

Chris and Tyler have some problems–both with the episode and with each other’s problems with the episode. Will the podcast survive this? Does Chris’ goosebumps moment mean that all is right with Discovery? Is Tyler’s fixation on the minutiae of the timeline something he can overcome? Or will the crew of the Discovery make everything OK in the end?

Chris and Tyler recap an action-packed end to the Discovery’s Mirror Universe saga and try to figure out where the plot will go from here, all while lamenting the fate of our Mirror friends.

Chris and Tyler can barely control their excitement after all the many revelations that came in “Vaulting Ambitions.” What is Lorca up to? Is Mirror Stamets evil? How will Burnham and the Discovery get out of the Mirror Universe? Is this going to be some kind of new normal for the show? As always, they also offer crafty conjectures about where Discovery might be headed.

We (and the entire internet) were right! Chris and Tyler revel in their victorious prediction and make many more as they talk about “The Wolf Inside.” They also try to explore the different avenues that the series might take: what will happen to Michael Burnham when she meets the mysterious emperor? What about when and if they finally reach the Defiant? How will L’Rell and Tyler act when they meet in the next episode?
