Author: Disco Night March 16, 2019 Duration: 1:03:35

Even though Discovery went rogue just last week, "Project Daedalus" has them teaming up with a Starfleet admiral to cause a ruckus. This time they're heading over to that troublesome Section 31 to depose the Logic Extremist at the top. As happens from time to time in the Star Trek universe, things don't turn out to be exactly as they seem.

Directed by Star Trek veteran Jonathan Frakes, and written by newcomer to the franchise Michelle Paradise. She's written a bunch of episodes of CW's "The Originals" so don't go thinking she's a rookie. 

This episode also has Jayne Brooke returning as Admiral Cornwell, and Hannah Cheesman in what seems to be a pretty momentous episode for Airiam. 


Every Monday, the crew of Disco Night: A Star Trek Discovery Podcast gathers to dive headfirst into the latest mission from the USS Discovery. This isn't just a simple recap; it's a full sensor scan of each episode, where we revel in breaking down the narrative twists, character choices, and those blink-and-you'll-miss-it background details that enrich the Star Trek universe. Our conversations are driven by a genuine enthusiasm for the series, often spiraling into deep discussions about how a particular line of dialogue or a production design choice connects to the broader legacy of Trek. You'll hear us celebrate the show's triumphs and grapple with its more puzzling moments, all with a sense of camaraderie and thoughtful critique. This podcast is for anyone who finishes an episode and immediately wants to talk it through with fellow fans who share that same obsessive curiosity. We release our analysis each Monday, providing a fresh and detailed companion to the series. Tune in for a weekly dose of speculation, appreciation, and yes, some gloriously over-the-top analysis of Starfleet's most unpredictable crew.
