For this episode of "Black Women Watch...", Tish dives into a Sci-Fi staple. Directed by J.J. Abrams, starring Chris Pine, Benedict Cumberbatch & Zachary Quinto, "Star Trek: Into Darkness" (2013) is the sequel to the '09 reboot. But Tish doesn't take on this film and the entire world of Star Trek alone. Writer, Editorial Designer & "Trekkie" Tola Coker comes through as the first guest for the show.
