126. Shatner Voice (Prodigy 1.13)

Anika and Liz answer a distress call and wind up on the planet of the Strange New Worlds fans. We had some audio issues in recording and sound a bit like we're under flawlessly animated water, but we discuss things like…

• how Liz is explicitly banned from using her Shatner voice for the whole episode
• We have decided to ship Chakotay/The Diviner
• When entertainment becomes the entirety of one's culture
• How to be Starfleet (you don't need a uniform or a hashtag)
• Galaxy Quest, "Muse" and "Far Beyond the Stars"
• What better way to introduce young viewers to TOS than via the stage? (Just ask Anika!)
• We are NOT PREPARED for Murf to change! Yes, this is a series for young people and change is a fact of life BUT WE ARE GERIATRIC MILLENNIALS AND THIS IS ALL VERY STRESSFUL
