A Discovery Home Companion is an unfiltered look at Star Trek: Discovery, a new  Star Trek for a new era of television, set in an older era before Kirk and Spock.  Will it be great, or will it be disappointing?

Is the Saru trek devoid of conflict and complications necessary to a successful story?

What about the humor works in The Escape...
