BEFORE this Thursdayâs episode 206 of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY airs, I might suggest reviewing the Short Trek âThe Brightest Starâ to see my humble beginnings as Saru, and remember on what terms I left my sister âSirannaâ and my home planet Kaminar. Then remember what we learned about the Kelpien âVaharâaiâ and what it taught me in episode 204. All comes into play in this weekâs new episode!! . - On @cbsallaccess - scroll to the bottom of the season 2 full episodes page (USA). - On @cravecanada (Canada). - On Netflix (all OTHER countries) - look for it in âTrailers and moreâ. . #startrekdiscovery #startrek #aliens #kelpien #saru #space #thefinalfrontier #generalorderone #primedirective #conflicted https://www.instagram.com/actordougjones/p/BuEoYYAHgac/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kjqq1ij48ozf

Tune in as we discuss Star Trek's Prime Directive. In the context of the most recent Star Trek films we talk about the inconsistencies and parameters of the Prime Directive as well as how it relates to moral relativism and international sovereignty.
