Of course I go on this podcast and I end up with the most ethically fraught (aka LORD NO) episode of Enterprise 😂 This was hilarious and so much fun and I can't wait to listen. And no, I have never watched Enterprise. Until now.

In our new episode out today, Maria tells us and guest, science writer @beebrookshire.bsky.social, about the Star Trek ENT episode Similitude where Phlox grows a clone of Trip purely to harvest his brain matter. Ethical dilemmas abound!

Our crew and noted vest-expert @stealingfromwizards.com are on a second contact mission this week, revisiting the #StarTrekENT episode North Star (the one that inexplicably takes place in the wild west). This episode was trying to say... something, but what it was trying to say was weird!

We've got a new pod episode out today about the Star Trek ENT episode "The Shipment" where Archer becomes bro-friends with a bigfoot Xindi. Plus guest Dr. Raychelle Burks joins us, mainly to be exasperated at the Enterprise crew's lack of proper safety protocols when dealing with unknown substances!

JK Rowling has said, more than once, publicly that people consuming Harry Potter means they support her. And her transphobia. She uses her vast wealth to do very real world harms to trans people, and in particular...trans women. There is no ethical consumption. None. It's that easy.

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.

Me: So Jamie and I are now planning a photo shoot in ENT underwear with them
Kate: If it's Travis just stay home
Me: Travis, Trip, Malcolm

Kate: Travis, Trip, Malcolm is also my answer for Kill, Marry, Fuck
Kate: (hate fuck)

I will absolutely be killing myself over the next two months making multiple pairs of ENT blue undies in time for DragonCon just for the gag of wearing them for a photo with Connor Trinnear and Anthony Montgomery.

In today's episode, Bill tells us & guest @granades.com about the #StarTrek ENT ep "Extinction" where Archer&co morph into inarticulate savages who think only of their own species (so big change from the usual) and once again it's T’pol’s job to save these simians!
