John and Mike have been talking about Star Trek: Discovery since the very first episode of Stage Nine. For over a year, we have brought news of the creative team behind the show, and discussed much of their work, all in anticipation of the latest Star Trek series. And now, Disco is finally here.

In this episode of Stage Nine, John and Mike give their impressions of Discovery after the first five episodes. We discuss our initial reactions, how the show compares to other Trek first seasons, and look at a few new writers who have joined the staff of the show.
