Star Trek Discovery 2.02 ‘New Eden’ Breakdown
Star Trek: From the Holodeck is a fan broadcast dedicated to breaking down, analyzing and discussing all things Star Trek.
This week Mike and Dave discuss and breakdown Star Trek Discovery’s season 2 premiere 02.02 ‘New Eden’. A new signal brings the Discovery to a distant planet, Terralysium, that is inhabited by the descendants of human survivors of World War III, which was fought on Earth 200 years earlier.
Some Topics Discussed:
- The use of philosophy and debate this week was AMAZING. This was Star Trek at its best
- This episode brought back Jonathan Frakes as a series director – and they brought him back for a fun episode that was also laden with some heavy thought that posed some very real-world questions.
- We got our first away team mission of season 2 and it led to some big questions, revelations
- The focus on the entire crew continued; everyone got their due.
- With all of the sibling talk between Burnham and Spock, will the writers choose to ignore Sybok or will they mention his existence?
- Captain Pike once again doesn’t disappoint – they are using him very wisely.
- and more!
