The Edge: A Star Trek Discovery Podcast


Feb 7, 2019

Point of Light.

Family has always been a theme in the stories of Star Trek, and “Point of Light” is no different. Here we learn that L’Rell and Voq had a child together, but before the two can set down the path of building a family the chance is ripped away by Kol-Sha of the House of Kor. Meanwhile the complicated dynamics of Michael’s family are revealed with the help of Amanda, and both experience guilt over their treatment of young Spock.

In this episode of The Edge hosts Amy Nelson and Patrick Devlin discuss the multiple story lines of L’Rell and the Klingons, Tilly and the spores, and Michael and Amanda’s family relations. We question if eternal life is to be found in the mycelial network and if Spock could intentionally kill his doctors.
