206. Her Body, Pike's Choice (SNW 3.03)

Anika and Liz go on a nice road trip to pick some flowers, and nothing bad happens to anyone.  Okay, fine, we are discussing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, episode 3, "Shuttle to Kenfori", including... First of all, WHAT IS HAPPENING ON REBECCA ROMIJN'S HEAD Season 3 has a recurring motif where a woman states explicitly what she wants, and her romantic partner decides to do the opposite Batel and M'Benga both tell Pike repeatedly that Batel has the right to make her own medical choices, and Pike never actually agrees "I really have to finish my Tuvok/Azetbur fan fiction." RIP Liz's Klingon wife Our only beef with Erica's storyline is that it worked by making Una hold the idiot ball Joseph M'Benga: the only doctor in Starfleet who respects people's privacy
