After Trek -- hilarious Trump reference

For those not keeping up with the series, the crew from the USS Discovery are currently in the evil mirror universe that was also included in TOS, DS9 and Enterprise.

On "After Trek", the host (Matt Meara) had two guests in the studio and Jason Isaacs (Captain Lorca) on Skype. In the segment where they take questions via Twitter, the question arose, "Do you guys think that the agonizer booth feels like pins and needles, food poisoning, or something else?" The other guests say 'food poisoning' followed by Jason Isaacs answering in his British accent, "I'm going to say life under Trump."

What a witty reply!

Another take on Mirror Mirror, from the fan reboot extending the original series. And yup, that's James Doohan's son playing Scotty.

Pretty damned good, if you ask me.

I think that I read that you weren't watching it because you didn't like the characters in the pilot. Now that they have aired 13 episodes it has become a lot clearer as to why the characters have been portrayed thus far. Without revealing any spoilers, I will say that the plot has become more complex with unexpected plot twists and it has more of an epic feel similar to DS9. I'd recommend signing up for the free trial and binge watch season 1 when it is completed.
