CBS presents the long-awaited ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ debut
By Jacqueline Spendlove TV MediaAs the daughter of longtime Trekkies, I’ve been indoctrinated in the world of Star Trek for pretty much my entire life. My parents’ basement is peppered with posters and action figures from the shows, they know every episode of “The Original Series” practically by heart, and they even carted me along to a Star Trek convention with them when I was around 7 or 8 years old. It was a big deal in my house long before it really became a big deal in general, which it undoubtedly has.
Between television series and movies, Star Trek has seen 19 different installments on the screen, and that number’s about to become a nice round 20. The long-awaited “Star Trek: Discovery” premieres Sunday, Sept. 24, on CBS, after which the remainder of the series will stream weekly on CBS All Access. The franchise first made itself known to the world with creator Gene Roddenberry’s original series in 1966, with William Shatner in the lead role as Capt. James T. Kirk. Admittedly, the original had its share of cheesiness, and the sets and special effects didn’t hold a candle to what its later scions would have, but it was light years (no pun intended) ahead of its time even then.
“Discovery” marks Star Trek’s return to the small screen — it’s been more than 15 years since the
2001 premiere of “Star Trek: Enterprise,” which wrapped in 2005. Chronologically, that series was the earliest, created as a prequel to “The Original Series,” and so it remains.
“Discovery” is set between the two — roughly a decade before Kirk and Co. set out on their five-year mission.
Harry Potter baddie Jason Isaacs heads up the USS Discovery as Capt. Gabriel Lorca, with Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” 2000) playing Philippa Georgiou, captain of the USS Shenzhou, another Starfleet ship. As for which of these is the lead in “Discovery,” the answer, surprisingly, is neither.
While Star Trek always makes use of a strong supporting cast, the captain has always been the main protagonist. Not so in “Discovery.”
Sonequa Martin-Green (“The Walking Dead”) takes the lead in the new series, but, in a marked departure from the franchise norm, she’s not the captain — she’s the first officer.
covery,” but we’ve met him before; he’s Spock’s (Leonard Nimoy) father, first introduced in “The Original Series.” If you’re wondering why the heck Spock never mentioned an adoptive sister before, be patient — executive producer Alex Kurtzman has affirmed that all will be explained, and it will fit into the canon of the show.
Canon is important with a franchise like Star Trek, with its massive and fervent following. Unsurprisingly, “Discovery” is one of the most highly anticipated shows of the year, and showrunners are acutely aware of the long legacy they have to live up to. There’s a fierce fan base to impress, while also drawing in viewers with no prior Star Trek immersion.

Third bite’s the charm with ‘Halloween Baking Championship’
By Andrew Warren TV MediaIt’s that time of year again — the temperature is dropping, the days are getting shorter and the kids are back in school. It can only mean one thing: Halloween is just around the corner. Never a network to let a festive holiday go unnoticed, Food Network has a special, spooky treat in store during the countdown to the scariest night of the year.
That treat is “Halloween Baking Championship,” which returns for a third season Monday, Sept. 25. The TV home for all things food related has rolled out baking competitions for most of the major holidays over the past few years, and while they all follow roughly the same formula, the seasonal twists give each one its own unique flair.
For this holiday, eight bakers from across America bring their terrifying talent to the kitchen. Comedian
John Henson (“Wipeout”) hosts as the contestants face a series of challenges intended to test not only their baking abilities, but also their creativity and imaginations.
In each episode, the bakers face two confectionery challenges intended to bring out the spirit of Halloween. In the premiere, the first challenge tests their decorating skills when they’re challenged to make a dozen themed cookies that must be stuffed with some classic Halloween candies. Even more frightful is the second challenge, which comes with a terrifying twist. In it, the contestants must make a dessert with a fruit-flavored slime that oozes when it’s cut, but which tastes positively delicious.
Of course, the competition isn’t really scary — it’s just all in good fun. The focus here is firmly on the baking, and for the three judges, the only thing that matters is the finished confection. “The Chew” cohost Carla Hall, bestselling cookbook author Lorraine Pascale and celebrity pastry chef Zac Young bring their palates to the kitchen.
If there’s anything the contestants should be terrified of, it’s these
three: at the end of each episode, they choose one baker to go home empty-handed, whittling down the group until only one remains to take home the $25,000 grand prize. And if that isn’t sweet enough, the winner gets the title of Halloween Baking Champion, too.
There are more treats than tricks with “Halloween Baking Championship,” premiering Monday, Sept. 25, on Food Network.

He begins to pursue a relationship with Sarah (Palmer), a beautiful woman he meets during his suspension, but the phenomenon that first manifested itself as a flash of light begins to escalate into something more, always occurring at exactly 2:22, and driving Dylan to solve its mystery before time runs out.
