Liz and Anika get together to discuss the news, trailers and outfits from Star Trek Day, 8 September 2021, including...

  • We have concerns about the sidelining of female characters in Prodigy
  • How will Long Janeway be changed by her time with the kids?
  • The all-male Prodigy panel was followed by the Discovery panel, which featured no heterosexuals whatsoever
  • An ugly incident of homophobic abuse at the event
  • The Strange New Worlds characters
  • Christine Chapel's backstory: any situation that involves the phrase "multiple sexy robots" is going to be regrettable
  • Anika has a lot of feelings about the trend of taking male villains and reinventing them as women
  • Despite all the evidence that this is a bad idea, ie, season 1 of Star Trek: Picard, we are very excited for season 2 of Star Trek: Picard
  • We were wholly unmoved by the "Legacy" section of the event
  • People we love: Mary Chieffo, Jolene Blalock
  • We are here to defend the red carpet hosts!

    • It's the episode where we agree that, for all our mixed feelings about his father, Rod Roddenberry seems like a good egg.
