A packed episode leads to a lot of opinions–some on opposite ends of the spectrum–on Star Trek Beyond (2016), the film series as a whole, and how well it interprets the television series.

Question of the Week: Do you think the next Star Trek movie is going to involve time travel? How could they do a storyline like that without it getting weird?

We also have an episode on Star Trek Into Darkness.
