Get your Kleenex ready - it’s time for the episode that makes all of us melt into a puddle. And if you haven’t got your pail nearby, thank the drag gods that Lwaxana Troi is here to scoop you back up. Lily and Cole deep-dive into Lwaxana’s drag queen energy, what her fabulousness brings to the comparatively sterile world of Star Trek, and particularly what her arrival means for queer-coded self-acceptance on DS9. We also pay tribute to actress Majel Barrett, First Lady of Star Trek.

🪕 Intro music: Lily on ukulele and vocals, "I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel 

🍷 Wine pairing: Beaujolais 'Les 3 Roches' from Pierre-Marie Chermette
