202. Hair Trek (part 1)

Anika and Liz put their hair up and settle in to discuss the most pressing topic of our time -- hairstyles in Star Trek. 

We talked for so long that we wound up splitting this into a two-parter, which is PEAK Antimatter Pod, but in this first half, we discuss...

• Janice Rand, Marie Antoinette and Sabrina Carpenter
• Pavel Chekov, The Monkees and appealing to girls
• WASP beauty standards, "professionalism" and Deanna Troi
• Tasha Yar and the changing meanings of short hair on women since 1987
• "I'm sorry, I'm thinking of Reagan again, and it makes me angry."
• Beverly's hair is always changing, but without much intentionality behind it
• Sisko's hair tells a story (sometimes that story is about racism)
• Kira's "busy suburban mother of a toddler" hair
