Space Bermuda Triangle!

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 26 “The Expanse,” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. It’s the end of the second season of Enterprise and it’s a disaster! On Earth, we mean! A mysterious new race attacks the earth, and it’s up to the NX-01 crew to head into Space Bermuda Triangle (or Spermuda, if you will) to exact revenge in the name of great justice! Meanwhile T’pol considers if risking being turned inside-out is worse than going back to her Vulcan fiance, Trip gets the bloodlust, and Duras has a very, very bad day.Rikermendations:Jamie: Rehash podcast Maria: Thursday Murder Club booksBill: Marrying Mister Darcy card gameWe now have merch!

Second Contact: What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon! (feat. Jarrah from Women at Warp)

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 25 “Bounty,” now that Maria and Bill have watched it. Plus, our guest from last week, Jarrah from the Women at Warp podcast, is back with us to talk about this episode, which seems to consist mostly of T’Pol writhing around on the ground and walls. We also discuss in depth every baffling part of this screencap of Trip’s bookshelf.A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.We now have merch!

What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon! (feat. Jarrah from Women at Warp)

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 25 “Bounty,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. Jarrah from Women at Warp is back with us this week to discuss this episode that involves T'Pol going through pon farr, which for some reason mostly seems to involve rubbing her body on every wall. Also, perpetual damsel-in-distress Archer is kidnapped again, which may seem familiar since it happens in every third episode of Enterprise (seriously -- we checked!). Mentioned: The Women at Warp episode that inspired our “Where is HR?” segment is called “Labor Standards in Star Trek”RikermendationsJarrah: Heated RivalryMaria: RoofmanBill: Cult of the LambJamie: PersimmonsWe now have merch!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 24 “First Flight,” now that Jamie and Bill have watched it. Plus, astronomer Nicole Gugliucci joins us once again to see if watching the episode can help her make the dark matter make sense. A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “The Wrong Stuff!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.Photo References:Hoshi’s elaborate hairTrip’s bookshelfWe now have merch!
