205. The Girlfriend Edit (SNW 3.02)

Anika and Liz put on their cutest wedding outfits and settle in to discuss episode 2 of Strange New Worlds' third season: "Wedding Bell Blues". Liz is gonna try not to talk about Pike. Anika is going to do her best not to implode. It's fun! 

• This episode was engineered in a lab to target Anika personally
• Is this a mean-spirited commentary on shippers? 
• We did not need a second sequel to "The Q and the Gray". Or a first sequel. Or "The Q and the Gray". 
• Christine: I don't want any big romantic gestures
  Spock: Big romantic gesture, got it
• It's weird how we're being gaslit into thinking Korby is a decent guy
• "It's gonna be really hard for me to not talk about dinosaurs on my podcast."
• We're so happy for an Orgetas subplot that we're not even mad it's the same as Detmer in season 3 of Discovery
• Batel is firmly in the Girlfriend Box, not the Captain Box
• The snake/garden of Eden/Taylor Swift's Reputation era styling of Christine's "wedding dress" was a … choice
