This episode is double-stuffed, as Brandi was sick with COVID and had to skip a week. Coverage includes both episodes 8 & 9 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, "The Elysian Kingdom" and "All Those Who Wander". Expect unconnected movie references, laughter, and tears, from both Suzanne and Brandi. It's a long one, but we think it's worth it, especially just for Brandi's Brain Fog! 

Illness and internet problems be damned! Brandi and Suzanne cover episode 7 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, "The Serene Squall". Marvel at Brandi's husky sick voice! Be afraid of getting between Suzanne and her Chakotay! Listen to accidental misgendering of Captain Angel on a few occasions (our apologies)! And don't forget Sybok! 

Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach. Brandi and Suzanne are back to talk about this emotionally heavy episode. There's laughing and crying. And some more crying. There's also talk of a pompadour of steel, a Kirk jump/tackle, and be on the look out for a damp Ethan.

Seriously if this episode of SNW didn't make you emotional, do you even have a heart?

Brandi and Suzanne come dangerously close to hijinks as they discuss the fifth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, "Spock Amok". They discuss made-up European monarchy names, the return of the green wrap tunic, and Spock on Spock action with fight music!

Momento Mori. Brandi and Suzanne discover Gorn Morse Code amongst other things in this discussion about the very heavy and sometimes emotionally draining episode. Thankfully Ortegas had some lighthearted lines peppered throughout to make them giggle. Don't worry, they do go off on plenty of tangents and are visited by an inappropriate 4 year old. So, let's DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!

Brandi and Suzanne are back to cover "Ghosts of Illyria"! Topics include squeaky cheese, Ensign Timothy Chalamet, mental gymnastics, little plasma folks, and Brandi's demands for fan art of Spock's gall bladder. Why? Guess you'll just have to listen to find out!

Join Brandi and Suzanne as they contemplate such topics as why there are so many shuttlecraft accidents in the future, why God really needed that spaceship, and why you should never touch the egg. There will be tangents a plenty on this episode, shocking!! A new Boldly Go game is created. Desire is expressed for a Strange New Worlds: The Musical episode. The question remains...Is there no fate but what we make? If so, can Pike end up with just a bit of a limp?

Brandi and Suzanne are BACK! Finally, we have Strange New Worlds' first episode, Strange New Worlds (catchy!) to review, and tangents abound as usual. We discuss such topics and tangents as season two of Picard, opening credits, shadow puppets, and snarky Vulcans. Welcome back to Boldly Go!
