Captain Janeway receives a rather unlooked-for proposition from Q. Join your omnipotent hosts as they discuss the extremely male perspective of both the plot and humor in this episode, how even ostensibly progressive sci-fi often adheres to traditional and/or neoliberal gender roles in depictions of the future, and the curiously un-examined apotheosis of Tom Paris.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We utilize Dan’s patent-pending bespoke podcast-topic-selecting-algorithm. Keep an eye on our social media and/or website to discover what episode we’ll be discussing!

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
