This week, they're covering the completely controversy-free Strange New Worlds puppet one-off, season four, episode five, "Level-Five Transporter Accident." Topics include the very chill reaction to this fun, riff-y Star Trek outing, Alice and Skyler running into each other out on the big LA streets, men checking out sandwich photos, coincidental hoods, Carol Kane's wonderful pasta hair, what, exactly, Strange New Worlds' deal is in the broader Star Trek timeline, their idea for Back to the Future Four, and much, much more!

This week, Alice and Skyler are back to discuss DS9 season five, episode nineteen, "Ties of Blood and Water." Topics include lizard privilege, the very big movies Skyler knows about, how to snag yourself an ovenful of hot plastic, cat heart health interventions, this episode returning to the "bad episode name" Star Trek naming convention, characters showing up just to die, drunk Vorta, and much, much more! Also, apologies, Skyler's laptop basically told him it could no longer continue being a laptop at a certain point in the record, so, things get a touch wonky toward the end of the episode. But? The episode is still good!! Listen!!!
