from Antimatter Pod · host Anika and Liz
Liz and Anika watch an episode of Star Trek: Continues, and just because it's not canon doesn't mean we aren't going to waaaaaay overthink it! we are maybe the wrong audience for a loving tribute to The Original Series… a loving recreation of a ‘60s aesthetic … that ends when women sit in the hair and make-up chair no one needed an explanation for “Turnabout Intruder” imagine a metaphor for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign … but with Spock as Trump “Canon should be elastic. Canon should not be a rigid line. Ever.” Dr McKennah, the major original character in this series — she’s a total Mary Sue and we love her It's the episode where Anika says, "He's doing a Chekov accent, not a Russian accent," and we're not entirely sure if that's good or bad.
