Episode 9: Love and Affection

Why is Pike’s dating history so sketchy? How do the writers create tension between these characters? What is the dynamic of two Captains dating? Did Kirk already know about Carol by “Lost in Translation?” What is the future of reproductive health in Trek? Listen as Ashlyn and Rhianna discuss the romantic pairings in seasons one and two of Strange New Worlds.

SPOILER ALERT: Strange New Worlds seasons 1 & 2, and the TOS Episode, the Cage/Menagerie.

This is the ninth episode of our Love and Affection Series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the Finales of every Star Trek show, starting with the Original Series and ending with Picard.

Join us next time as we begin our new Art Trek series.
