Author: Disco Night January 16, 2019 Duration: 20:22

Directed by Douglas Aarniokoski and written by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt, the third episode of Short Treks has our favorite Kelpien facing the hard reality behind the expression "You can't go home again."

But in his case it's literal. The military told him he's not allowed to go there anymore.

Featuring Doug Jones as Saru, and introducing Hannah Spear as Siranna and Robert Verlaque as Aradar, who may or may not play a role in the upcoming second season of Star Trek: Discovery. The always exceptional Michelle Yeoh also swings by for a bit.


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.
