Description

We discuss Discovery's "Project Daedalus", including...

• Airiam's history and fate
• BUT THE PACING
• the Short Trek "Calypso"
• artificial intelligence in Star Trek and real life
• (this is why Dr Soong couldn't get funding)
• Anika will make you sympathise with Control
• RIP Admiral Patar, we hardly knew ye or your alleged extremism
• Admiral Cornwell, queen of our extremely biased hearts

Other media we found a way to make relevant: 

• Solo: A Star Wars Story
• Droids in Star Wars generally, with particular attention to the Clone Wars arc "Downfall of a Droid"/"Duel of the Droids"

• The Greatest Generation's discussion of Jonathan Frakes's directing style in TNG came in their episode covering "The Drumhead". Among others, but that's the most recent one Liz has listened to.
• Liz's Tumblr post mentioning the interesting way conflict is being portrayed this season
