Written by Sean Cochran & James Duff, and directed by Maja Vrvilo, the fifth episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s stellar third season, “Die Trying,” is now available for streaming on CBS-All Access.

The latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery, “Forget Me Not” (now available for streaming on CBS-All Access) continues the winning streak we’ve seen in the previous three installments of this series’ stronger, more confident third season under new showrunner Michelle Paradise. That this previously stumbling series seems to have found its footing in year three…

CBS-All Access has just dropped the latest episode of Star Trek Discovery’s third season, “People Of Earth” for streaming, and it’s another winner.

Star Trek: Discovery, S2.9: “Project Daedalus” is a conspiracy wrapped in an enigma…
After the retro-fun of returning to Talos IV in “If Memory Serves”, Star Trek: Discovery takes yet another detour into edgy Trek with “Project Daedalus”; an installment that has some nice character moments, yet bumps its head on the ceiling of its own serialized format, leaving an incomplete episode that still delivers some thrilling action…
Star Trek Discovery S2.5; “Saints Of Imperfection” herald a reunion…
Just watched the latest Discovery episode, “Saints Of Imperfection” and the title seems just as much a motto for the show itself as it does for certain characters within. It aims high and true, but sometimes the arrow falls a bit short of target. Season two started off on a soft reboot of the series…
Star Trek: Discovery, S2.4; “An Obol For Charon” offers two sides of the coin…
The latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery, “An Obol For Charon” had some very strong character moments that ultimately made it worthwhile for me, but the story was little more than a pastiche of Treks past; particularly, the great misunderstood space thing that was just trying to say ‘hello.’ **** SPACE SPHERE-SIZE SPOILERS AHEAD!!**** Pike’s…
