Star Trek Discovery 2.06 ‘The Sounds of Thunder’ 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 2.06 ‘The Sounds of Thunder’. When a new signal appears over Saru’s home planet, Burnham, Saru and the crew embark on a perilous mission that puts Saru in danger and raises questions about the Red Angel’s intentions. Hugh struggles to come to terms with his new reality.
Some Topics Discussed:
- The writing duo Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt knocked it out the park — this was essentially a sequel episode to their Short Trek’s episode Brightest Star.
- If you attached Brightest Star to this episode you got yourself an episode that feels like a motion picture.
- The idea of questioning Authority — and not just falling in line and accepting the Status Quo.
- This episode set up some real-world parallels – the Kelpiens were ripped of their power and marginalized. Not even allowed to reach their full potential.
- This episode is something to be cherished by Trek fans. This is taken right from the Gene Roddenberry playbook.
- Starfleet vs Section 31 and their views on the Red Angel.
- and More!
