We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 23 “Regeneration,” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. Plus, we’ve got the Bad Astronomer himself, Phil Plait, joining us this week to talk about this episode and his personal connection to it.

This week Enterprise breaks new and innovative ground in the canon of Staaaaaahp — just kidding, it’s the Borg. Scientists discover the shattered remains of Star Trek: First Contact in the Arctic Circle and decide to desecrate some corpses. Of course, the revived Borg decide to escape on a route that takes them right into the path of the NX-01! Will the crew escape assimilation? And more importantly, will they remember to write any of this down for future generations?

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 22 “Cogenitor,” now that Maria and Bill have watched it and can tell us all their opinions on Trip’s relationship with the cogenitor, Malcolm’s sensual cheese-eating, and the shocking decision Archer makes at the end of the episode. Plus, returning guest Dax joins us this week to discuss the episode’s handling of nonbinary gender identities.

We also watched and discuss the parallels between Cogenitor and the Next Generation episode “The Outcast” and the Alien Nation episode “Three to Tango.”

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Men Are From Vulcan, Women Are From Betazed!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week. 

Content Warning: The Enterprise episode we discuss contains themes related to self-harm and suicide.

Follow Dax on BlueSky: @mxdax, @vucanscience, @randomtrekquotes

Support and Suicide Prevention Hotlines (US-Based) – Most allow calling and texting. Some also have a chat option via their website.

For a good resource to learn more about nonbinary identities, we recommend the Taboo Science Podcast’s episode Nonbinary 101: Beyond the Binary

Maria recommends and refers to this The M0vie Blog review of the episode Cogenitor
