The Discovery Prepares to Strike at the Heart of the Empire

The U.S.S. Discovery and her crew returned from the Mirror Universe in “What’s Past is Prologue,” but the universe they returned to has changed. The Klingon Empire fractured into houses, and each house now brings the war to the Federation in an unpredictable pattern. Before the Discovery can get her bearings, Admiral Cornwall arrives and takes command of the ship. One questions occupies their thoughts: how can they turn back the Klingon advance and save the Federation?

On this episode of Warp Trails, Dennis and Beth turn the discussion of Discovery’s plight against the Klingon Empire now that they have returned from the Mirror Universe. In addition to the peril of a galaxy controlled by the Klingons, Discovery must contend with a former Klingon sleeper agent in their midst. Also, what do they do with the former Emperor of the Terran Empire? Plus, what does Sarek’s forced use of a Vulcan mind meld on Saru mean to character and the series? Dennis and Beth discuss all of this and more on this episode of Warp Trails.
