Star Trek: Discovery - "The Red Angel"  We like this one, a lot. We have been misdirected again, and again, in the last couple of episodes and we like being surprised. This time, we learn who the Red Angel really is and, oh no, it looks like the AI called "Control" is still around causing mayhem and threatening all life in the universe...     Moms Going Boldly is two moms who are Star Trek fans an...

Star Trek: Discovery - "Project Daedalus"  Vickie and Elizabeth have different opinions on this episode, though both agree the fabulous fancy flying of Detmer through a minefield is a definite highlight!

Star Trek: Discovery - "If Memory Serves"    If you have not seen the original series pilot episode "The Cage," stop now, run, don't walk, and go watch it. Revel in its now-cool retro-styling, down to the humming blue flowers and fabulous velour uniform tops. Because this episode is a legitimate homage and we dug it.      Moms Going Boldly is two moms who are Star Trek fans and who also happen to ...

Star Trek: Discovery - "Light & Shadows"  Oh look, it's Spock. Finally. Still no answers on the red angel thing and we're starting to yawn. But wait! The "B" story is really the "A" story for us - adventure! Conflict! Science fiction! Captain Pike and Ash Tyler are sorting out who's in charge and earning each other's grudging respect. They may not like each other but they are starting to learn...

Star Trek: Discovery - "The Sounds of Thunder"  We are intrigued by this story - could Saru's species undergo a fascinating change that has resulted in a cultural schism between the young and the old on Kaminar? Oh, wait, no, it's just another slime monster story. Sadness. The writers really need to talk with us. But we did get further information on the Red Angel - humanoid in a metal suit. Inter...

Star Trek: Discovery - "Saints of Imperfection"  A tale of loss and gain, this episode brings Dr. Culber back from the dead, but Tilly loses her "friend" May. We get to see the mycellial network from the inside.

Star Trek: Discovery - "An Obol for Charon"  Another great episode where Star Trek boldly takes on aspects of death and then, maybe less boldly, steps away from a truly sentient prey species? We love Captain Pike, love seeing Jett again, and are glad to see Stamets working his way back from a cartoon-esque character back the third-dimension. Writers: Ease up on the red things, and what is that wei...

Star Trek: Discovery - "Point of Light" We both liked this episode a lot (even though the Michael-Amanda-Spock storyline bordered on soap opera-esque - writers, please stop now). It was a cool, tangled tapestry of stories, setting up intriguing payoffs later in the season, and even after the series ends. There was humor and pathos and the strong desire to see what comes next. And we make a predict...

Star Trek: Discovery - "New Eden" 9.5 out of 10! We love this episode! It's a story that feels like the original series, complete with ethical questions about General Order 1; saving-the-day with smarts and technology; tantalizing clues to greater mysteries to be explored; and we ask the question: Does faith deserve to be validated?            Moms Going Boldly is two moms who are Star Trek fans a...

The U.S.S. Discovery is back, and so are we! After a significantly shorter haitus than expected, season two of Star Trek: Discovery launched with an episode entitled "Brother." We could have done with less exposition, less setting the stage for conflict between Burnham and Spock, and less "catching us up on who the characters are" kind of stuff, but otherwise we liked it. And we especially loved T...
