Episode 4 of Star Trek: Picard raised a lot of questions! Like, does the show want us to dislike Picard? And, when will Elnor get his cat?
Discussed this week:
- a Twitter troll accused Liz of having a “heavily misandrist” Star Trek podcast, and yes, we are very proud, thank you
- Una McCormack’s The Last Best Hope, a prequel to Star Trek: Picard (including spoilery chat about one particular subplot; if you don’t want to know, skip ahead from where Liz warns of spoilers to approximately 07:21)
- the regrettable racism in this series
- and sexism
- and heteronormativity
- Elnor is a perfect angel who deserves many cats
- we all deserve cats
