We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 4 “Rajiin,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. While looking for a way to manufacture the space asbestos that will protect them from the weird anomalies, Archer "rescues" a beautiful and mysterious slave girl. In keeping with his taste in women, she turns out to be spying for the Xindi (at least she wasn't actually a slug?) to get information about human physiology to help them build a bioweapon. Oh, and Trip and T'Pol nearly blow up the ship and themselves trying to manufacture trellium-D.

Special guest Jim Tigwell joins us and since he knows absolutely nothing about Enterprise at all, we have to try to explain this mayhem to him.

• Jim: Kind Words 2 (video game)
• Bill: Fun Home (graphic novel)
• Jamie: One Piece (live action Netflix version)
• Maria: Ghosts & Ghosts UK (TV shows)
