The strongest second-season Discovery episode to date brings us a Big Not-So-Dumb Object, a dying Saru, bickering techies, comparatively thoughtful social commentary, and some by-the-way explanations for discontinuities between the tech of this series and Kirk’s era.

Twenty-Five Years of Deep Space Nine
By the Prophets! Has it really been a quarter of a century since DS9 debuted?
Giving us a darker, richer, more character-driven series than the previous two incarnations of Star Trek (and most TV Sci-Fi), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine set out on different path and changed the genre forever. By not allowing the characters to warp away from the previous week’s adventure, they were forced to deal with long-term consequences.
The show had its ups and downs. Sure there was “Move Along Home” and “Time’s Orphan” but there was also “The Visitor,” “Duet,” and “In the Pale Moonlight.”
Raise a glass of kanar or bloodwine (2309 vintage, if you please) in toast.
Variety has a great write-up on the series and it’s 25th birthday.
Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Second Season
Apparently enough people are signing up for CBS All Access to warrant a second season of the newest entry in the Star Trek family.
Six episodes in, what do you all think (or are you, like me, waiting until the season wraps and binge it all)?
Happy 30th Birthday, Star Trek: The Next Generation
Thirty years ago today, Star Trek returned to TV for the first time in two decades. What we got was awkward at first, but turned into something incredible.
Lest it get too big for its britches, the crew at Screen Junkies have put together a loving little roast of TNG in the form of an honest trailer.
What was your favorite TNG moment (aside from that epic moment Crusher got down with a space ghost)?
Star Trek: Discovery – “The Vulcan Hello”

First Trailer for Star Trek: Discovery
Despite all the delays and rumors…it’s happening.
A New Teaser for Star Trek Discovery
Probably an attempt to remind us it’s still happening (sets are being built and uniforms are being made). No official word on when it will debut, but CBS is still going with their “All Access” nonsense for US viewers.

The latest film in the Kelvin Universe of Star Trek debuted today, a little short of the series’ 50th anniversary. With a new director and new writers, how does this entry fare?
