The entire Enterprise crew has to spend eight days living inside one of the ship's nacelles without showers or a change of clothes, but Archer still somehow manages to find a way to watch his beloved water polo and Malcolm acts like a whiny baby.Rikermendations:Maria: Batman NinjaBill: Wave, Listen to Me!Jamie: Clair Obscur: Exhibition 33We now have merch!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 10 “Vanishing Point” now that Jamie, Bill, and our guest Kevin from The Flopcast have watched it, and we all have a lot of thoughts on how much we all kind of hated the twist ending.A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “It was Misogyny All Along!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.Plus, in our Mammary Alpha segment we talk about the

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 10 “Vanishing Point,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. Watch as Jamie, Bill, and our special guest Kevin try to figure out what the heck is going on in this episode. Is it an alternate universe? A time shift? Or just plain old misogyny? The answer will almost certainly disappoint you. We're joined by Kevin, from The Flopcast podcast, who is just as confused as the rest of us!Mentioned in episode:Here’s the photo of Trip on the

Three Body Problems!

2025/07/17

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 9 “Singularity,” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. It's the Enterprise version of a three body problem as mysterious radiation coming from a black hole causes the crew to start taking their jobs seriously. Too seriously, in fact, as Hoshi obsesses over a recipe, Trip obsesses over fixing a chair, and Phlox obsesses over cutting Travis's skull open. Can T'Pol convince the crew to, you know, lighten up a bit before they're all

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 8 “The Communicator.” Now that Bill and Maria have watched it, we get to hear their thoughts on how Captain Archer messed up getting back a piece of equipment they left on a planet so hard that he managed to start a full-on world war.A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Dude, Where's My Communicator?!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last

Malcolm accidently leaves his communicator on a pre-contact planet and attempts to recover it go sideways when Archer, for the first time ever, decides to take advice from T'Pol, which he then misapplies to disastrous consequences for everyone living on that planet. Sure he may have started a world war, but the important thing is that he learned an important lesson about..

2025/06/19

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 7 “The Seventh,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. T'Pol has some unfinished business with a fugitive she never managed to capture. She asks Archer to join her on the mission, which is good because it starts to trigger memories she didn't know she had. Much like the EnterpriseSplaining crew, who, for weeks after recording this, kept asking "What was that episode about again?"Rikermendations:Bill: The Fall (2006) - movieJamie: The

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 6 “Marauders,” but only Bill has actually watched the episode.In 2001, an unprepared crew was sent to deep space by Starfleet on a mission they were not prepared for. These men (and nearly a third women) promptly escaped orbit. Today, still wanted by multiple alien governments, they survive based on the value of the franchise name.

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 5 “A Night in Sickbay,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. Archer brings his dog to the planet of easily offended people, despite it very obviously being a bad idea, and then has a temper tantrum when asked to apologize. Also, Porthos is sick, there is an escaped bat, and for some reason chainsaws are involved (?!).
