Panspermia Mania – What the Trek? #3

One of the thing we love about Star Trek is how the characters break the rules in order to save the universe. Even though everything blows up, they still manage to come out on top.

But, in Star Trek: Discovery, shit has hit the deflector shield thanks to the recklessness of First Officer Michael Burnam who tried to do the right thing and is now paying for it.
