238. Evil Genes (SNW 402)
from Antimatter Pod Hosted by Anika and Liz
Anika and Liz beam over to a long-abandoned and extremely haunted space ship. And instead of talking about what we experienced over there in the shadows, we're going to discuss episode 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' fourth season, "The Griffin Institute". This episode is a huge step up from the premiere! And also still super-duper into the eugenics of it all! The away team's biggest fear is … their genes! This whole subplot with La'an is really leaning into racist stereotypes about Chinese women "I am continuously horrified by how this series portrays Spock's internal conflicts." The episode wants us to think that Carol Marcus is the bad guy in the relationship, not James T "actually I'm gonna go to this conference instead of seeing my infant son" Kirk We are obsessed with the conference. What could possibly be relevant to Spock, La'an and Jim? Was there only one bed? We are a Pro T'Pring Podcast Does SNW actually want us to be engaged with Spock/La'an? Liz has a pitch for a Division 12 comic (spoilers: it involves Lorca)
