Discovery: Aftermath.
At the culmination of season two of Star Trek: Discovery, the
titular starship has traveled through a wormhole into an uncertain
future. However, the century they left behind is uncertain as well.
A tenuous state of peace exists between the Federation and the
Klingon Empire, a situation that both Captain Pike and Chancellor
L'Rell are eager to capitalize on. But will they manage to maintain
that peace with the forces of chaos doing all they can to disrupt
it?
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by The Edge's Brandi Jackola to discuss the Discovery comic trilogy Aftermath. We talk about the surprise return of Kor, Spock's coming to terms with the aftermath of season two of Discovery, L'Rell's ability to play politics, The Shadows of Kahless, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings for the trilogy as a whole.
In the news segment, we talk about the release of Star Trek: Picard: Countdown #1 from IDW and Body by Starfleet by Robb Pearlman. We also respond to feedback from The Babel Conference for Literary Treks 288: The Golden Girls in Space.
