84. The Boimler Who Became The Other Boimler

Anika and Liz check in on season 2 of Star Trek: Lower Decks. And ... maybe it isn't for us? And that's okay! Along the way, we talk about: Walking the line between responding to fans versus pandering We have feelings about the depiction of Orion women in Lower Decks … and, in fairness, most of Trek We have even stronger feelings about the Ferengi here. "Why???" is a feeling, right? We're also not into the Pakleds! This remains a Beckett Mariner stan podcast Liz is still lukewarm on Boimler, but Anika finds him charming and appreciates the meta genius of making him a Tom Paris fan Where are the NGOs in the Star Trek universe? We talk about Kai Winn for a while because we love her It's the episode where we had to cut out a twenty-minute chat about police procedurals because not even we could pretend it was on topic!
