How do you follow up the best episode your series has ever had?
That was the challenge facing “Star Trek: Discovery” this time around. Last week’s “Forget Me Not” was as stirring as the best of “Trek” past, and it combined a self-contained character episode with some advances in the season’s long-game of an arc. But here’s the deal: “Die Trying,” this week’s ep, is almost as good. All those criticisms we’ve had about the supporting characters getting such short shrift on this show? Out the window once again. This one put the spotlight on Rachael Ancheril’s intriguing Nhan, even if it was a send-off as much as an exploration.
The worry after “Forget Me Not” was that Discovery would have a lot of obstacles in their path before they finally got to Starfleet Headquarters. But no, this show seems done with filler. “Die...

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 5.
Because everything in the 32nd century is brand-new for the Star Trek canon, it would make sense that the writers of Star Trek: Discovery could get away with not really referencing anything from the existing canon. To put it another way, how much do you really know about the year 1090 off the top of your head? The gap between Discovery’s point of origin in 2258 and 3188-3189 is huge. And yet, nerdy Star Trek Easter eggs and Huge call-backs to some of the most beloved ships and characters ever, endure.
From a surprise cameo from a famous film director, to a lesson in Mirror Universe history, and yes, the appearance of Captain Janeway’s beloved starship, here are all the Easter eggs we caught in the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode, “Die Trying.”

At this point, odds are you know that "Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag" exists. After a variety of leaks last week, Ubisoft had to release the box art and confirm its existence. I, however, had a preview event a few days before the leaks started. What leaked was just the tip of the iceberg however as "Assassin’s Creed IV" is a large undertaking for the company.
While a new "Assassin’s Creed" game every year is now expected, it was a bit of surprise to find out we’d be getting the fourth numbered game as opposed to a spin-off ala "Brotherhood" and "Revelations" this year.
"Black Flag" introduces a new hero and a new setting. According to developers, it’s the “perfect franchise to bring piracy to life” so you’ll get more of the best part of "Assassin’s Creed III"—the ship combat.
