It's our 200th episode! A victory for quantity over quality and our small, chill audience of friends!
To celebrate, Anika and Liz are talking about Star Trek: Open A Channel - A Woman's Trek, Nana Visitor's book about women in Star Trek.
- Open A Channel is much more substantial than just girl power feminism.
- How Lucille Ball was erased from Star Trek's narrative
- The throughline of mentorship
- We gently interrogate Nana Visitor's second wave biases
- We also have two separate (but related) rants about Janice Rand and the "glorified secretary" concept
- Hair Trek
- Marina Sirtis versus … a lot of people
- Bodyshaming from fandom. "The idea that fat people should not exist in your utopia is really horrible and RFK Jr coded."
- The editorial decision to exclude Michelle Hurd
