Saddle Up! : 2: A Little Less Mountain Man - a podcast by Trek.fm

“Strange New Worlds”

Following the search for the Red Angel and the battle with Section 31 and Control at the end of Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, the inhabitants of a planet not ready to take the next step into the galaxy use data they gathered from observing the battle to build a bomb based on warp technology. When the warp signature is detected by the Federation, Number One is dispatched on a first contact mission. When she and her crew are captured, the Enterprise is reactivated ahead of schedule and Captain Pike is called back to service to lead a rescue mission.

In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss the pilot episode of the new series, how Pike’s experience on the Klingon moon Boreth may impact how he is portrayed in Strange New Worlds, the tenuous nature of the warp bomb story, and the social commentary. We also look at the new cast of characters and how the series fits into the overall Star Trek format.
