Discovery "Far From Home" Review

It's part two of Discovery's premiere, as "Far From Home" focuses on Discovery's side of coming through the wormhole.

It's up to Saru and Tilly to make first contact with the locals of the strange planetoid they have crash-landed on, while the rest of the DISCO crew race against time to get the ship's vital systems repaired.

Join the ASNP gang this week as Brittany hosts. Don't you worry, no pun is left behind.

Spock's Socks
