We reached a milestone. We are on Episode 20 and we are doing things a bit differently.

Just when you thought we were done, Star Trek pulled us back in! Two Trekies couldn't miss the opportunity to break down the pilot of the excellent Star Trek Discovery.

We're going back to school with Netflix's insanely popular and Jenna Ortega's star vehicle Wednesday. How do you take an 80-year-old piece of IP and rework it for today's forever online audience? Take the most charming member of the family (no not the hand), stick her in a Hogwarts-inspired magic school, throw in a pinch of graphic violence, a potential trouple, and inject the whole thing with a murder mystery and you got yourself a franchise. Oh and having Tim Burton direct, the dudes from Spid...

We get into a little of the Emmy's controversy surrounding the show (we both agree it's not a comedy,) and then break down how this incredibly tight 30 minutes of TV sets up what will p...
