Episode Intro

Another Star Trek series wraps up. This time, we’ve got Star Trek: Discovery trivia for our Dorky Geeky Nerdy trivia. Like Star Trek: Picard, this one was divisive. But love it or hate it, Discovery did bring Star Trek back to TV after a twelve-year hiatus.

As always, I’ve got three rounds of ten questions each. I ask the questions, you give me an answer, and then we will see how you did. Quick and easy.

That about covers the basics. I’m your host, Brian Rollins. This is episode 306 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast and let’s fly.
