179. This Race Could Have Been An Email (Prodigy 2.06 and 2.07)

Anika and Liz hit a speedbump with their recording schedule (stupid jobs) and then hit a speedbump with Prodigy in the form of ... two episodes that we did not entirely love? Is that even possible? We're here to talk about episodes 6 and 7 of Star Trek: Prodigy's second season: "Identity Crisis" and "The Fast and the Curious"... Both of these episodes are mainly about putting the pieces in place and setting up threads for later What type of characters are allowed to be audacious and ambitious?  Does Prodigy have a problem with body diversity and same-face?  Zero/Ma'jel and the power of being chosen by someone instead of being thrown together by circumstances Anika has a new favourite Andorian Dr Noum: great at work-life balance, maybe not so great at … his job "I'm going to say something controversial and brave." We're not NOT shipping Gwyn/Ma'jel
