The Edge: A Star Trek Discovery Podcast

Choose Your Pain.
Captain Lorca is abducted on his way home from a meeting at which Starfleet expressed concerned that the Klingons are aware of Discovery’s unique propulsion system. He finds himself in a Klingon jail with a Starfleet prisoner of war named Tyler Ash and the infamous Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Meanwhile, back on Discovery, Saru butts heads with Burnham over the tardigrade, and Stamets makes a sacrifice which places him in a reflective situation.
In this episode of The Edge, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by Kay Elizabeth Shaw of To The Journey and Heather Barker to discuss the fifth episode of Star Trek: Discovery, “Choose Your Pain.” We debate Saru’s command decisions, foul language, Harry Mudd, and that crazy mirror scene while concocting plenty of theories for the plot of upcoming episodes.
In our news segment, Mike Schindler and Bruce Gibson discuss the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery novel Drastic Measures, by Dayton Ward.
