In “Context Is for Kings”, we meet the USS Discovery, Captain Lorca, Lt. Stamets, and, best of all, Cadet Sylvia Tilly. Nothing else matters. Cadet Sylvia Tilly needs to be retconned into all previous Trek series. Oh yeah, and some other stuff happened about a new way to fly on fungus spores. Wait. What, Star Trek: Discovery?

Does it work? Listen and find out!

Star Trek: Voyager continues its upswing this week by giving us a Janeway episode, “Sacred Ground”, in which she is challenged to put aside her devotion to the scientific method. Then, in “Future’s End”, the show does something so batshit that you just have to admire it.
