After an excellent season opener last week, I was a little nervous about the rest of the third season of Star Trek: Discovery. But watching the second episode, I think I can start to relax – just a little bit – and enjoy the ride. Not literally – who would have wanted to go through […]
Welcome to the brave new world! I’m happy to see you here. Well, happy…. that’s a relative term. Star Trek: Discovery started its third season today with a blockbuster opener – in the wrong place, where the gang’s not all here, but hey, we’ve got a giant worm. And joy juice in a fun new […]
