Summary

Anika and Liz find themselves stranded in 2023 Toronto, and over some Tim Hortons and poutine, catch up to discuss the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"... FIRST we are very angry and sad about the cancellation of Star Trek: Prodigy SECOND, we were extremely nervous going into this episode, and then … we loved it?  Introducing Paul Wesley's Kirk via a set of AUs is really smart Is this the best episode of Enterprise or the sequel to "Time and Again" we didn't know we needed? Yes. Is it a problem that SNW keeps revisiting old stories? Yes. Did we love it regardless? Yes Okay FINE we're shipping La'an/Kirk BUT IN THIS TIMELINE ONLY An actual Secret Romulan that we didn't make up? A GIFT FOR US! (Also, again, aliens among humans, THERE'S A THEME) The UNIT Dating Controversy of it all It took three goes, but finally Khan Noonien Singh is played by a South Asian actor! Anika calls it: we're gonna see Brent Spiner in the finale "Progress requires trauma" - does it, though? Does it really? Are we the first Star Trek podcasters to talk about Pete Davidson?
