For the first time in 22 years, two episodes of Star Trek will air on the same day. This Thursday, the new series geared towards a younger audience, Star Trek Prodigy, will close out the first quarter of its first season with "Terror Firma." That same day, Discovery will warp in with a fresh supply of dilithium crystals as the show enters its fourth season with "Kobayashi Maru."
This will also be a first for us over at A Strange New Pod, as we'll be reviewing not one but two brand new episodes of Star Trek on our live show. As always, that airs LIVE on Twitch at 9:30PM ET the same day those episodes air. Make sure you join us for all the fun.
In the meantime, preview both episodes with six images from "Terror Firma" and 16 images from "Kobayashi Maru."
