77. Why Are Space Dads
from Antimatter Pod · host Anika and Liz
We follow up our mothers-in-Trek episode by looking at ... dads! And, guys, there are so many terrible fathers in Star Trek. So. Many. Bonus points to the Hansens, where BOTH parents are terriblel Digressions: that careful balance where you don’t want to give up your whole life because you have a child, but also maybe you shouldn’t take that child into Borg space?????? Sisko, single fatherhood and parenting goals. Rom, DS9’s other Good Dad. O’Brien, a better dad in TNG than DS9 (brief digression: why Keiko and Miles really ought to consider divorce). Worf. Just … Worf. In defence of Kirk. Data is a good dad. Soong and Maddox: not so much. Our Azetbur headcanons are approximately on topic! The L’Rell/Tuvok shipping is not, but that isn’t going to stop us. We came to drink tea and make fun of Sarek ... and we're all out of tea.
