News Star Trek: Discovery Doug Jones Wasn't Prepared to Be Fearless
Day one of Star Trek Nashville put David Ajala, Doug Jones and Elias Toufexis on one stage for the Discovery panel. Grudge stories, an animation pitch, and the best answer of the day.

8.5/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 1 Premiere Review: I Was Watching It Wrong
I went back to The Vulcan Hello and Battle at the Binary Stars with the eyes I found at the end of season 4. It's Michael Burnham's story, period, and once I stopped asking it to be classic Star Trek, the premiere worked.

8.5/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Series Finale Review: All the Trappings of a Star Trek Ending, None of the Earning
Life, Itself gives Discovery a wedding, a time jump, an admiral and one last mission. I loved the ending, and it still didn't feel earned. The longest running Star Trek series with the fewest episodes ran out of time.

9/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 5 Episode 9 Review: Lagrange Point Ends on the Cliffhanger It Needed
Lagrange Point is wall to wall events, with tension so high I caught myself asking what was going on. Burnham being the hero doesn't bother me, the crew trusting Rayner this fast does, and the ending sets up the series finale.

8.5/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 5 Episode 8 Review: Labyrinths Is So Good It Frustrates Me
Burnham gets pulled into her own mind, the Breen show up to the archive making threats, and Labyrinths turns out to be the episode I wish this season had gotten to sooner.

8.5/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 5 Episode 7 Review: Erigah Gets the Show Back on Track
Erigah drags the Breen into the Progenitor chase in a big, bad way, kills off L'ak, and gets Star Trek: Discovery back to the story it's actually telling. Full breakdown and the Know-It-All Index.

7/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 5 Episode 6 Review: Whistlespeak's B Plot Is the Better Episode
Whistlespeak is the Prime Directive episode, and it comes with a literal foot race. The A plot is the least interesting thing about it. Burnham's conversation about faith and Dr. Culber's storyline are what save it.

7.5/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Episode 5 Review: Mirrors Finds the ISS Enterprise, and the Plot Starts to Plot
Discovery's fifth episode of the season puts Burnham and Book aboard the ISS Enterprise, hands Moll and L'ak a backstory, and gets a little sloppy on the way to the next clue.

8/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery "Face the Strange" Review: A Filler Episode All Day, and That's Not Bad
Discovery season 5 stops its chase for a time travel episode and a bottle episode in the same hour. It's filler, it feels lumped in, and it still kept me engaged the whole way through.

8/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Jinaal Review: The Filler Episode That Earns Its Keep
Season 5, episode 3 slows the chase down to lay groundwork on Trill, and one passing line about the Dominion War does more for this world than a graphic ever could. A solid 8.

9/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 5 Premiere Review: The Ultimate Callback Is a Space Treasure Hunt
Red Directive and Under the Twin Moons open the final season of Star Trek: Discovery with a hull-surfing chase, the return of Book, and a callback straight out of The Next Generation. The adventure wastes no time.

10/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Full Retrospective: A Novel in Chapters, and I Just Now Got It
A season of Star Trek: Discovery is what we used to call a two-part episode, and it took me four seasons to see it. I went back through season 4 with new eyes, and here's what the show, its characters and its legacy look like now.

The Files Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Objectively Successful? The Record Says Yes
Good is a matter of opinion, so I'm taking it out. Viewership, critical reception, awards, money and representation: on paper, Star Trek: Discovery was a successful show, and I didn't even like the first two seasons.

7/10 Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Discovery Season 1 Review: I Was Part of the Crowd Poo-Pooing It
I trashed Star Trek: Discovery sight unseen, then watched season 1 when it was over. With four seasons to look back from, here's where it lands now, by way of Picard season 2 and the Strange New Worlds premiere.
