09. Disco 206 - Walks Like A Squid Sister

Saru goes home again. We start out agreeing we don't have much to say about this episode, then ... talk even more than usual, covering such ground as: Can we come up with a different Jeff Goldblum gif for every episode this season?  This whole episode is exactly why we need the Prime Directive. Kelpien worldbuilding. Who is the Red Angel? What does it want? Who is it working for?  Our weekly semi-related digression into other media takes us into video game territory. Anika has very strong opinions about predestination paradoxes. We both have a lot of feelings about sickbay design and best practices when it comes to mental health care in space.  For the benefit of our many listeners who are entomologists, Liz would like to emphasise that she does actually know that spiders are not insects.  The jury is still out re: Lorca and whales, though.  See antimatterpod.tumblr.com for more detailed show notes.
