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? Three close friends will approach the show with open hearts and critical minds. Oh, and it turns out we'll end up yelling at each other sometimes.

Check out our ongoing exploration of another Star Trek and “Prequel to the Golden Age of Television,” Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in our other podcast, The Rules of Acquisition

An Opal for Sharon? feat. Ryan Britt (Star Trek: Discovery S2E04)

Feb 11, 2019

Wade and his regular crew of scabs are joined by journalist and legit Star Trek expert, Ryan Britt (@ryancbritt on twitter).  

Is this an objectively good episode of Star Trek?  Ryan brings his insight as to how Discovery fits into canon. Theories and predictions are discussed.

Dangling Spocks.
Pike Marie Kondo-s Starfleet.
Cronenberg Horta.
Meta thinking Saru and Doug Jones.
It's nice to not easily predict Star Trek Discovery.
A Gotham Problem?  
Sean Connery and what could have been.
So about the JAHSep...
"Inserting" Michael into Spock's story, if you know what I mean...
And finally, a possible theory about the Kelpians.
