The gang recaps the latest edition of Star Trek: Discovery. 

The gang recaps on Star Trek: Dicovery's, "The Galactic Barrier"

You know a long time ago in college I took Latin and I learned the story of Caesar and his Crossing of the Rubicon and how just by Crossing the Rubicon it committed him and his troops and the entire fate of Rome was thereafter changed.

Our main show, the live show, is recorded live every Thursday to recap the most recent edition of Trek. Right now, that includes Discovery and Picard but will include all upcoming shows.

For deep dives into other shows and characters please watch one of our other Trekker’s Delight shows, which are all pre-recorded and can be found on anchor podcasts, Apple podcast, Spotify, and YouTube.

Before we get started, I want to give a brief summary of today's episode.

Starfleet wants to stop book and Tarka at all costs because they have already decided to initiate first contact with species 10 C. To ensure Burnham doesn't let her relationship with Booker get the better of her, commander Nahn is back to keep a watchful eye on Discovery’s crew. Nahn tells them Starfleet has decided that as a last resort they plan on blowing up Book’s ship!

As we know, Discovery has a trace on his ship. Burnham, Saru and Culber fill Nahn in on their plan to gain entrance onto Book’s ship through a cloaked shuttle.

Unbeknownst to Book, Tarka installed a new defense system and it almost kills the away team but not without help from Book, who saved them. After a brief fight, Book and Tarka manage a quick escape.

They arrive near the dma and it makes their scanning and other Technologies difficult to use.

Not wanting to fire on Book, Nahn and Burnham worked out a compromise that allows them to know how much time they have before the dma strikes another area of space – the current area is an unoccupied area of space. Through the help of Stamets we learn it will be another week before the dma leaves this area.

Book accepts the compromise but Tarka takes matters into his own hands and launches the weapon.

Tarka destroys the dma but could not find the power source connected to the controller.

Saru receives in Overture from president T’Rina.  Look at Saru getting busy! Colber had to remind Suru that he was being an idiot by not entertaining the request, of course.

Drum Beat

The dma reappears in the same spot!

The gang asks a simple question, "What is Representation?"  The discussion centers around black representation, authentic representation of the black culture, and whether Star Trek does an adequate job of portraying it. 

In this episode, the gang compares how Ben Sisko deals with Cassidy Yates with how Michael Burnham deals with Cleveland Booker.  We also discuss the scene with Culber and Stamets and the distress he personally feels over the actions of Book. We spot a Changeling!  Is there a backstory between Rillak and Vance? Burnham for the save!  The purpose of the DMA is revealed but who could be behind this mystery.  We know a couple of things, the Federation has never dealt with them before and they are vastly more superior to Federation known worlds.
