We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 13: “Dear Doctor” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. Plus, we have a special guest, Seelix, join us to tell us if the science in the episode is accurate (spoiler: that is not how evolution works!). Phlox and Archer wrestle with some gnarly ethical issues which could have been solved if only they had a clear doctrine. Perhaps some sort of… directive.

Follow Seelix on Bluesky: @seelix

Jamie and Seelix will both be part of Science Track at DragonCon 2024! Look for their panels in the DragonCon schedule under Jamie Bernstein and Emily A Finke. If you say ”hi” to them, they may have special badge ribbons for you.
