Black female lead on the bridge is an idea that sent a vocal minority of Star Trek fans into a feedback loop. But relax, because Michael Burnham is really our hero, James T. Kirk! Listen as the Sistas demonstrate how Burnham and Kirk, captains from the same era, are far more alike than you think.

Latina/Klingon B'Elanna Torres of Star Trek: Voyager and Belter Naomi Nagata of The Expanse, are our favorite chief engineers. Besides being two of the smartest characters in sci-fi, they also have enthralling story arcs that border on 'messy'. All flux couplers being equal, our final question is, "Who would you want on your side in a fire fight?"

SyFy Sistas J.D., Tamia, and Subrina visit that other celebrated sci-fi franchise, Doctor Who.

It's STNG's fan favorite "Darmok" and the episode of Doctor Who "Midnight". Both episodes examine the frustration and fear induced by the inability to communicate. But the REAL drama is will J.D.'s diabolical episode pairing turn Tamia and Subrina into Tardis loving Whovians?

The Sistas discuss the impact of the 1997 TV movie Cinderella, starring Brandy Norwood and Whitney Houston, on multiple generations of Black women. The beauty of diversity is the main theme of this memorable TV event. Did the Whitney Houston production of this classic fairy tale with its color-blind cast help lay the foundation for Black leading ladies to come? We draw a line from Brandy's Princess Throne to Burnham's Captain's chair and ask, "Do science fiction and fantasy productions of today do 'color-blind' as well as this 1997 gem?

The SyFy Sistas kick off Black History Month, 2021, as guest hosts on the Trek Geeks Podcast Network. The topic for this honor is, of course, a session discussing the sista who start it all, Lt. Uhura, played by our Queen, Ms Nichelle Nichols. Join Fran, J.D., Subrina, Tamia, and Yvette as they recount their first impressions on this true icon, what she means to them, and that day at Shore Leave in Maryland when they actually met her in person.

Thank you Dan and Bill of Trek Geek for sharing your platform. And, thanks to our sound guru, DoS, the Anonymous 1.

In our third podcast Tamia, Fran T, and I delve into #107 which is a well-deserved break in the action of Picard's journey. Nepenthe is an episode full of rich ST TNG memories and new observations that bring surprising facets out of each of us.

Correction: The Story of Helen of Troy (yes, we went there) is from the Iliad, not the Odyssey. It was a slip of the tongue y'all, please don't call me. LOL
