- August 20, 2013
In season 1 episode 34 of Honest Trailers, the team takes on the iconic sci-fi franchise with their witty and satirical commentary on the movie Star Trek Into Darkness. In this episode, they are also joined by the team from How It Should Have Ended (HISHE), adding even more humor to the mix.
The episode showcases the usual format of Honest Trailers, where the hosts give a rundown of the plot and characters of the film while poking fun at the various elements of the movie.

In this episode, they tackle the central theme of the movie, which revolves around the crew of the USS Enterprise trying to stop a rogue Starfleet officer who poses a threat to the universe. The hosts take particular issue with how the film follows a similar plot structure to the previous Star Trek film and how it relies heavily on nostalgia to carry the story.
They also take jabs at the film's title, pointing out how the term "Into Darkness" is incredibly vague and could apply to virtually any sci-fi film. The hosts also note how the title doesn't indicate the film belongs to the Star Trek franchise, which could be confusing for casual moviegoers.
One of the highlights of this episode is the appearance of the HISHE team, who bring their trademark "how it should have ended" humor to the proceedings. They offer up alternate endings to the film, which are both hilarious and give some insight into how different choices could have improved the movie.
