Listen "3: Musical Escape Room"
Episode Synopsis
“Children of the Comet” When a comet threatens to impact the planet Persephone III, the Enterprise prepares to render what would appear to be routine assistance … at least for Starfleet. But the comet turns out to be more than it appears, and a race calling itself the Shepherds threatens to destroy Pike and his crew for interfering in what they see as the preordained course of an object that brings life to planets. Uhura’s musical talent saves the day as Spock works on his pep talks in this story that fills in the linguist’s background like never before. In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing discuss “Children of the Comet,” the second episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ inaugural season. We get to know more about Uhura, have a beer with Captain Pike, join voice training with Spock, and get punked by Ortegas. We also explore the big existential questions raised in this story about fate, faith, and free will.
