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.
