Episode 11: Prime Directive

Is the Prime Directive an elitist philosophy? How do you rebuild a society where nobody remembers their own history? Is an asteroid landing on the planet considered “natural development”? What point is Neera trying to make about April’s Prime Directive Breaches? How many times is Pike beaming up pre-warp aliens?

Join Ashlyn, Rhianna, and the Brides of Chaotica as we discuss these questions and more in our Prime Directive episode covering Strange New Worlds.

This is the eleventh episode of the Prime Directive series, where Ashlyn and Rhianna talk about the good and bad examples in every Star Trek show, discussing every Star Trek series.

SPOILER WARNING: Strange New Worlds seasons 1 & 2.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Discussions of child death/sacrifice, war, bombings, and insurrection footage.

Next week, we’ll discuss the Prime Directive episode in Picard!
