Star Trek: Short Treks

An anthology of ten shorts, 10 to 20 minutes each. Each tells a self-contained story, usually with a familiar character. Tilly helps a young alien runaway who needs to get home. Discovery's computer, alone for centuries, falls for a lost soldier. A young Saru, still on Kaminar, gets the invitation to leave his people. Harry Mudd dodges the law with a collection of androids that look just like him. Spock has his first day aboard the Enterprise and gets stuck in a turbolift with Number One. There are also two animated shorts, one about a tardigrade aboard the Enterprise and one about Burnham's childhood. The last, "Children of Mars", follows two rival schoolgirls on the day of an attack on Mars.

• After the credits At the end of "The Trouble with Edward", after the credits, there's a fake vintage commercial for a tribble cereal that makes the little fluffballs multiply in the bowl. It's Star Trek's first post-credits scene.
