Second Contact: Hoshi and the Beast!

from EnterpriseSplaining

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 6 “Exile,” where we get into a rare argument over whether the episode’s lack of romance rendered it narratively inert or was a clever twist on Beauty and the Beast. A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Hoshi and the Beast!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week. We now have merch! Show your love for EnterpriseSplaining and the cutest beagle ever with a Porthos Appreciation Society shirt! EnterpriseSplaining is proud to be part of the ESO Network. The show is produced by K.O.
