67. The Last Dilithiumbender (Discovery 3.11)

Liz is joined again by Fran as we investigate the cause of the Burn.

• Another haunted house, another recurrence of the season’s theme of confronting fear and ugly truths
• Su’Kal: the most 2020 hero
• The cause of the Burn: a child the Federation failed to rescue
• In fact, the Federation destroyed itself through its own complacency
• This is a story which prioritises emotional intelligence over logic
• Do we need to report Book to the Space RSPCA?
• Osyraa’s costume tells a story 

It's the episode where we absolutely refuse to get into the question of whether the food you eat on the holodeck is real!
