Remember the TNG episode "Dark Page", where Deanna Troi projects herself into Lwaxana’s mind to learn a dark secret and relieve her parent’s guilt? Burnham and Sarek are doing their best reenactment in this week’s episode, "Lethe". Meanwhile, Lorca whips out the vodka and the sleaze to distract Admiral Cornwell, who’s all too receptive. Will Lorca pull a "In the Pale Moonlight" to keep her quiet? Or are Vulcan extremists conspiring with the Klingons to do Lorca’s dirty work? And why are Vulcans so incredibly racist?! The only person who doesn’t care about any of this: Stamets, who’s high as a kite after powering the spore drive. Groovy!

The crew of the U.S.S. Discovery has trust issues. Acting Captain Saru doesn’t trust Burnham; the kidnapped Captain Lorca doesn’t trust Harry Mudd; and the poor tardigrade doesn’t know who to trust. Can everyone put aside their differences long enough to escape the Klingons and use the spore warp drive for a rescue mission? Sabriel and Ken take some detours to Rura Penthe, Iowa, and the Grand Ole Opry as we weave our way through the fifth episode of Star Trek: Discovery.

The second episode of Star Trek: Discovery and the first to be exclusive to CBS All Access finds a united Klingon Empire facing off against a squadron of Starfleet vessels.

Welcome to the premier episode of Transporter Lock, the weekly Star Trek: Discovery podcast! The first new Star Trek TV show in 12 years debuts on CBS All Access and Netflix on Sunday, September 24, 2017. Set ten years before Captain Kirk helmed the Enterprise, Discovery will be unlike any Trek before it — and we’re here to put it in context. Every week, Ken Gagne and Sabriel Mastin will be providing recaps, reviews, and analysis of each new episode.

In this launch episode, we await the upcoming launch of Discovery by sharing our love for all the Star Treks that have come before — television and movies, live-action and animated. We’ve cosplayed, been to conferences, and gotten celebrity autographs. But for all we know about the past, there’s still much we don’t know about Discovery. We look at what teasers are out there and conjecture where Discovery will go that no Star Trek has gone before.
