Star Trek: Discovery has moved with breakneck speed through the mirror universe, and the latest episode was a lot to handle.

Our friends in geekery over at Nerdist have put together a speculative Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek, using existing footage from the original series. 

This week's Star Trek: Discovery was a doooooozy. There's a lot happening on this show right now, much of it understandably evoking some pretty intense feelings. However, there's one big reveal that was made this week that really got my attention. No, not that one. The other one.

Star Trek: Discovery returned from midseason hiatus with an episode directed by Jonathan Frakes that kicked us in the head.

"Ours is the one that is almost like a Russian novel," says Rene Auberjonois of Deep Space Nine, which is the best Star Trek series, and is now officially old enough to rent a car.

I already had mixed feelings about the Star Trek film in development being produced by J.J. Abrams and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Well, Paramount and Bad Robot have set a writer for the project. Now? My feelings are in a goddamn blender.

I'm not necessarily interested in a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie—though I'm willing to keep an open mind—but mark me down as a very strong "yes, please" when it comes to the desire to see Patrick Stewart return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard, along with the rest of Next Generation. It's too early to say yet whether that's in the cards, but Stewart, at least, seems equally enthusiastic.

The rumors appear to be rumors no longer: Quentin Tarantino's "Star Trek" pitch has achieved warp five speeds, with potential writers screened and Paramount seemingly agreeing to the director's requirement that the film be R-rated.

I love ice cream. I love tortellini Alfredo. I love pizza. I don't necessarily want to stick all three things in a blender and drink it. Not all great tastes taste great together. Enter Quentin Tarantino, J.J. Abrams, and Star Trek.

Space, the final frontier ... in a galaxy far, far away.

YouTuber Darth Blender has remade the Infinity War trailer with shots from the '90s animated Marvel shows, including X-Men: The Animated Series, The Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

Sonequa Martin-Green who plays Michael Burnham on Star Trek: Discovery, was a guest on Good Morning Britain and spoke about her experience with being a part of this wonderful Trekkie world. "I love all the political themes we're exploring," she told Piers Morgan and his co-host Susanna Reid. Then, they started talking about gender-fluidity.

We are so close to the opening of Thor: Ragnarok that we can practically taste it, but what to wear to the theater? ThinkGeek teamed up with Marvel for a line of "streetwear" that includes several cozy layers that will allow you to pay proper homage to the God of Thunder.

We'll have plenty more DISCO shirts and bonding between my new favorite Star Trek trio to look forward to (I instantly loved Burnham-Tilly-Tyler forever), because Star Trek: Discovery has been renewed for a second season!

The reason this compilation works so well is that within the context of their episodes, the scenes make perfect sense to the storyline. Cut up and scrambled around, however ... I can't stop grinning. Come, start your morning off right.

A debate over Star Trek: Discovery has been raging in my social media feeds. Some Trek fans are euphoric about the way the new season is unfolding, while others proclaim that at this point they are already "hate-watching."

"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
