#239 – ‘Whistlespeak’ & ‘Erigah’ Discovery S5E06 & 07

In their rush to find the next clue, Tilly and Burnham almost kill a priest’s child. Join your parched hosts as they discuss excellent direction, comforting throw-back plots, and the value of accessible character motivations. Also, Dan tries Vegemite live on air, and Dan and Patrick recount their experience attending the the “Whistlespeak” premiere at the Washington, DC headquarters of the Motion Picture Association of America with special guest Sonequa Martin-Green.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Discovery, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth and final season with our discussion of “Labyrinths”.

BONUS – ‘Whistlespeak’ Prediction Minisode

Due to inconveniently-timed international travel we were unable to record our discussion of ‘Whistlespeak’ so instead we got together ahead of time to offer our predictions (comical and otherwise) about what we think will happen in the episode. You will have seen it already, so listen along and score us on how accurate we were! Also, we are posting one of our Patreon exclusives to the feed as some additional bonus content to tide you over till our next episode.

Speaking of next episodes, next week we will get back to our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth and final season with our discussions of both ‘Whistlespeak’ and ‘Erigah’, along with reflections from the Paramount+ ‘Whistlespeak’ event held in Washington, DC.

#238 – ‘Mirrors’ Discovery S5E05

Burnham and Book reflect on what’s eating up Moll and L’ak. Join your dimensionally-confused hosts as they discuss Commander Rayner’s progress integrating with his new crew, the perils of exposition-filled flashbacks, and a wormhole that looks suspiciously like a winking butthole.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Discovery, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: Due to international travel getting in the way of timely recording we’ll be presenting a bonus minisode in which we predict what we think will happen in the next episode, ‘Whistlespeak’, and will also be releasing one of our Patreon exclusives in full. We will then cover both ‘Whistlespeak’ and episode 7 (titled ‘Erigah’) in the following episode of IGST, scheduled for release on Monday, May 13.

#237 – ‘Face the Strange’ Discovery S5E04

Burnham, Rayner, and Stamets have to race against the clock to stop a malicious time bug. Join your temporally-displaced hosts as they discuss a wonderful twist on a well-worn time travel trope, the intrinsic value of social connection, and the playful joy that is a fully-invigorated Commander Stamets.

#236 – ‘Jinaal’ Discovery S5E03

Book and Burnham team up with a worm ghost to seek out the next clue to the whereabouts of the Progenitors’ technology. Join your vicious bipedal hosts as they discuss thematically connected plotlines, linear puzzle-solving, and the trials and tribulations of a gruff old man who may suffer from undiagnosed social anxiety. Also there’s a lot of goofy music in this episode for some reason.
