Episode 54: The Mirror Universe (DIS 5×05 Mirrors)
Rob and Kev switch on the holographic blind on their Breen loading dock to discuss "Mirrors", which turned out not to be quite the contribution to Mirror Universe lore they were expecting. To make up for it, they revisit all the other appearances of the Mirror Universe, including "Mirror, Mirror" (TOS), "Crossover" (DS9), "Through the Looking Glass" (DS9), "Shattered Mirror" (DS9), "Resurrection" (DS9), "The Emperor's New Cloak" (DS9), and "In a Mirror, Darkly, Parts I & II" (ENT). They also briefly reflect (!) on Discovery's sojourn in the Mirror Universe in season one of that show.

Episode 53: Trapped in time (DIS 5×04 Face the Strange)
Kev and Rob are unfazed by the time-travel shenanigans this week in "Face the Strange", accustomed as they are to weaving their way through the history of the Star Trek Universe. Inspired to revisit other times our characters became stuck revisiting other times, they discuss "Time Squared" (TNG), "The Visitor" (DS9), "Timescape" (TNG), and "Shattered" (VOY).

Episode 52: Joined Trill (DIS 5×03 Jinaal)
After defeating the cloak-bees of the dimly-lit rock quarries of Trill, Rob and Kev take a stroll down the lane (or a swim up the milky river?) of Trill history, discussing all of the joined Trill that they have encountered in their travels. They discuss "Facets" (DS9), "Rejoined" (DS9) and "The Host" (TNG).

Episode 51: Starships bumping into planets (DIS 5×01 Red Directive, DIS 5×02 Under the Twin Moons)
Kev & Rob are back to finally, unbelievably, talk about Star Trek: Discovery for the very first time! The events of "Red Directive" (DIS) see them reflecting on other times starships have "nosed down" into the unforgiving soil of a world, alien or otherwise. They discuss "Star Trek Into Darkness", "Timeless" (VOY), and "Star Trek Generations".

Episode 50: Star Trek V commentary
To celebrate our fiftieth episode, we break from our usual format to record an audio commentary for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, arguably the least successful Star Trek film, but not without its charms (and an especially charming Vulcan!).
We'll return with more Subspace Radio when new Trek returns to our screens in April for Star Trek: Discovery's final season. Until then, see you 'round the galaxy!

Episode 49: Barriers in space (LD 4×10 Old Friends, New Planets)
Kev & Rob approach the infinitely wide, unfathomably tall, impenetrable barrier that is the end of Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season Four, "Old Friends, New Planets". Among the many tangents they explore this episode, they focus in on other barriers in space, including "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (TOS), "The Tholian Web" (TOS), "Encounter at Farpoint" (TNG), and "The Galactic Barrier" (DIS). Stay after the credits for a brief debrief on "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier".
