207. Jaunt and/or Romp (SNW 3.04) β Antimatter Pod
New ep is up! We're discussing #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds' "A Space Adventure Hour", and we need to say that when Anika said she was shipping Spock/La'an the other week, she absolutely did not mean in canon, we are SO sorry, this is like that time in 2000 when Liz said Seven/Chakotay would be fun.

205. The Girlfriend Edit (SNW 3.02) β Antimatter Pod
We're up! We discuss #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds' "Wedding Bell Blues", an episode engineered in a lab to make Anika unhappy. Is this a mean-spirited commentary on shippers? Does Spock have problems listening to women? Is "the snake in the Garden of Eden" a solid bridal look? All this, and more!

the crew of the starship Enterprise (Strange New Worlds era) reach joyfully to the sky, having just completed a successful mission and a musical number. They are all smiling widely except Spock, who is Vulcan, and Pike, who is no fun.
