Justin Lin's S.W.A.T. Last year, Justin Lin brought his action expertise to the franchise with Star Trek Beyond. This year, he has adapted another classic television property for the 21st century with his pilot for the new series S.W.A.T.

In this episode of Stage Nine, John and Mike take a look at Lin's new series. We discuss the show's origins, how the pilot differs from other police procedurals, and what makes it signature Lin. We also discuss Trek's newest director, Chris Byrne, and his work on Star Trek: Discovery 1.9, "Into the Forest I Go."
