Then we dive into the show proper, talking about the sets, costumes, special effects, and yet another Klingon redesign. Yes, Klingons. Of course, Klingons.</p><br> <p>Characters in the series so far are dynamic and engaging but kind of flat emotionally. We lack the emotional investment we really wanted from the main characters.  Listen to hear us discuss what we hope to see after the cliff hanger and bait and switch of the series premiere.</p><br> <h3>To Discuss</h3><br> <p>Did you watch ST:D? Thoughts? Feelings?  Will you later on DVD/Blue Ray?</p><br> <p>Until next time, Get your Trek on!</p><br> <p>Regina &amp; Isabela &amp; Dante</p>
