To Go Boldly: BNP Talks Star Trek Discovery

Here we are deep in the middle of the midseason break for Star Trek Discovery (Disco from here on out). So it seemed about time to get the staff together and chat though our first half reactions and insights. We talked some of the rumors and fan theories, shared our favorite clips and Tumblr gifs, and generally just geeked the hell out about a show we wish more people were watching: Star Trek Discovery! ***Black Alert*** Spoilers through the mid-season break ***Black Alert*** Fan Theory To Make a Sane Man Mad Leslie: Everyone has seen all the episodes, so spoil away. Has everyone heard the Ash-is-Voq fan theory from The Daily Dot? Let’s start with that one. What do you think? Carrie:…… Well, that was a curveball. Leslie: Right?!? Let’s be honest, dude’s too good to be real.

Carrie: The only upside is that 2018 is almost here. Morgan: So I heard about the theory pretty early on. I was quick to say Hell nah, that makes no sense, but after that mid-season finale, I believe Ash and Voq are one and the same. I’ll even take it a bit further… I don’t think Ash even knows he’s Voq! Lauren: See, I had no idea about this until now. Leslie: It is one of those fan theories that rearranged everything you’ve seen, right? Carrie: I am still shook. Leslie: Suddenly some things make sense, but does it change your enjoyment of the show?…
