#97 – ‘I, Excretus’ Lower Decks S2E08

The Upper- and Lower-Deckers switch roles and in the process learn that the true enemy of efficiency is a meddlesome organizational consultant. Join your holopod-dwelling hosts as they discuss the use of callbacks for both humor and metacritiques of classic Star Trek tropes, how Mariner and Captain Freeman are alike while retaining differences based on career level and experience, and the magnificent audacity of Boimler’s athletic spread.

#96 – ‘Where Pleasant Fountains Lie’ Lower Decks S2E07

Chief Engineer Billups navigates emotional repairs while Mariner and Boimler babysit a manipulative CPU. Join your divided-on-the-value-of-black-licorice hosts as they discuss the mature manner in which Billups’ seemingly prurient storyline was handled, the increasing beauty of the animation in Lower Decks, and how we might handle an encounter with aggressively sexual space-courtesans.

Boimler gets a taste of leadership while Tendi slugs it out with Mariner and Rutherford.

Captain Freeman finds herself in a bit of diplomatic tribble while Mariner and Boimler learn that the aviary is for the birds.

#93 – ‘Mugato, Gumato’ Lower Decks S2E04

Rutherford and Boimler discover the intersection between diplomacy and animal husbandry. Join your Ferengi laser whip-wielding hosts as they discuss the the complexities of the Star Trek canon, Lower Decks’ continued habit of negating past over-homogenization of alien cultures, and the practical (if unfortunate) constraints on presenting carnal pleasures in all their animated glory.
