This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 9 “Singularity” now that Jamie and Maria have actually seen it. Also, we inexplicably have not yet scared away Nicole Gugliucci who came back this week to chat with us about the episode and tell us about her favorite and least favorite examples of astronomy science in Star Trek. 

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Three Body Problems!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

Superman month concludes this week, but we couldn’t leave without talking about the last iteration of The Man of Steel. In this episode we look at the entirety of the DCEU – from a franchise of franchises overseen by Zack Snyder to a disjointed dying gasp of poorly performing films and ones pulled before they could see the light of day – we go over the ins and outs of the series. We talk about the merits of the films and what we feel lead to its downfall. Along the way we also discuss our favorite and least favorite movies of them all.

In lieu of a five-minute controversy this week, the cast discusses the trailer for The Fantastic Four.

This week Ryan, James, and Daviorr join the cast.

Road trips and renovations are exciting, expensive, fun, scary and filled with unknowns. This week on Have Coffee Will Travel, Shawn and Leah are chatting about a recent adventure, and an upcoming project. Also included is some television talk, thoughts about coffee and the regular Etsy feature.

According to AI: A road trip is a long journey, typically recreational, undertaken by car. It often involves exploring new places, enjoying the freedom of the open road, and can be planned or spontaneous. The term can also refer to trips by sports teams or business professionals to play away games or attend events. Road trips can be meticulously planned or involve a more relaxed, spontaneous approach, allowing for detours and unexpected discoveries. In essence, a road trip is an adventure on wheels, a chance to embrace the journey itself and the experiences along the way.

Our recent road trip was a necessary adventure to attend a funeral. Leah’s uncle passed away late last year, and because of the season, it was decided to have the funeral in July. This would allow for a more comfortable experience (weather-wise). And it would allow more time for people to make plans to attend the event. We headed out early Friday morning, and we returned late Monday afternoon. The weekend was spent with family. Both Leah and Shawn have family in the area. There was also a small amount of time to go to Ikea and the Vaughn Mall. Although we didn’t spend much money, the browsing was fun.

Just before we left on our trip, our dishwasher decided it was done. Water was leaking everywhere. We attempted to fix it. Pulling it out of the cabinet and unhooking all the electrical and plumbing, we took a good look. After fixing it, we put everything back together. Did our repairs work? No. They did not. Now the idea is to save for and plan a complete kitchen renovation. Leah already bought the new sink. Although this will take some planning, the ideas are all in place. Wish us luck!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and The Gilded Age are back on television. We are excited in our own ways!

Besides road trips and renovations, we tell you all about the last few weeks in our Etsy shops.

On this episode of Earth Station Boo, we dig into Cynthia Pelayo’s Vanishing Daughters and how it twists the darker classic Sleeping Beauty tale and the more  unsettling reality of true crime. We explore how grief shapes Brier Rose Thorn’s world, how the city of Chicago becomes more than just a backdrop, and the role urban legends play in the story’s eerie atmosphere.

We also dive into the novel’s take on violence against women, how it reflects real-world fears, and what Pelayo is saying through her blend of horror, mystery, and true crime. This one sparked a deep discussion. Tune in and see where we landed on this tale of grief and horror.
