I'm Eleanor Brittany, and welcome to the May 10 2024, all Discovery edition of The TrekConvention Podcast's Five Trek Headlines to Watch. The podcast where I highlight five Trek Headlines you may have missed. 

So let's get to it!

Number One:
With the final season of Star Trek Discovery upon us, every episode takes-on a new and unique importance. With that in mind, Screenrant notes, episode “Whistlespeak’ featuring Burnham and Tilly, Is A Brilliant Season 1 Callback. 

Number Two:
Are you missing Saru in season 5 of Discovery? You’re not alone, Comicbook dot com explains ‘Doug Jones Confirms Why Saru Has Been Missing From Season 5 Episodes.” And let’s just say it’s for a very witchy reason. 

Number Three: 
Redshirts always Die reports, Alex Kurtzman says there's no "shortage of Star Trek coming." And I think in these turbulent Trek times, that’s a relief. 

Number Four: 
Giant Freakin Robot postulates that “Star Trek Discovery Honors Forgotten Franchise Video Game” when it comes to Booker’s downtime. And while Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator may seem like a bit of a stretch, I for one love the 8-bit throwback. 

And finally, Number Five:
Are you a little unclear about who’s who and what all the clues and hi jinx is about in Discovery season 5? Then Screen Rant’s got you covered with their feature “Star Trek Discovery’s 5 TNG Progenitors Scientists & Clues Meanings Explained.”


And that's all for this Discovery edition of the TrekConvention Podcast's 5 Trek Headlines to Watch.
