This week, we discuss season 2, episode four of Star Trek: Discovery, and, along the way…
- wanky titles (and why we love them)
- serialised versus episodic storytelling
- the endless Search for Spock
- the Prime Directive
- the Neville Longbottom of Discovery
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Saru’s quarters
- and we seriously question Captain Pike’s priorities
Also, an apology from Liz: I had a mild cold when we recorded, and though I’ve edited out all the nose-blowing, I just had a lot of trouble … expressing … words. Also, “Eurydice” is a verb now.
