"Star Trek Discovery" has now reached its mid-season point on the CBS All-Access streaming service and it's been well-received enough by viewers to already have a second season order.

In this episode of the podcast (which contains spoilers from the first 9 episodes), Adam Thomas, Tysen Webb and Andy Farnsworth go over what they've liked so far about the characters (specifically Lorca, Burnham, Stamets, Kol, and Tyler); plot lines; and even production elements.

We also speculate as to what we think might happen when the second half of season one begins in January 2018, and even guess at what we might get in season two.
