Listen "N6: We Literally Trying to Stay Alive"
Episode Synopsis
Time Loops. Ever have the feeling something has happened before? Maybe 54 times? Ever get the urge to throw on some Bee Gees and dance the night away ... only to be interrupted by a fish? Yeah, neither have we. But it did happen to the crew of the USS Discovery—again and again—and to stay alive they had to con a con man. In this episode of Notes from The Edge, in which we deep-dive into connections between Star Trek: Discovery and the broader Star Trek universe, host C Bryan Jones shares his thoughts on “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad”—particularly how it compares to “Cause and Effect” and other past time loop stories—and explores the music of the episode and previous instances of popular tunes in Star Trek.
