253: Kaleidoprism

[SFA108] This week, Let’s Talk About Treks has two sets of memories and at least one emotional support play. Earl Grey and jaQ` D’Rino discuss Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season one episode eight, The Life of the Stars, in which Tarima returns, Tilly arrives with grief-counselor energy, Sam starts coming apart at the photonic seams, and the Doctor is finally dragged into some extremely overdue feelings. Along the way, Caleb decides to be emotionally mature for once in an episode so determined to talk about trauma, parenthood, identity, and growing up that it pretty much dares you not to cry. All this and more: come find out what sort of backdoor pilot we have here! Enjoy the Show🖖🏾🖖🏼
