EnterpriseSplaining

Jamie, Maria, Bill

EnterpriseSplaining - The podcast where we try to explain Star Trek: Enterprise to each other! We are bewildered by this show. We have questions - so many questions! Join Jamie, Bill, and Maria as they attempt to make sense of this 22-year-old show that represents one of the strangest chapters of Star Trek history. Haven’t watched or don’t want to watch the show? No problem! At EnterpriseSplaining, we’ll do that work for you! Every week, one of us will watch an episode and explain it to the others - or try to. No Star Trek knowledge is necessary, although it might help? Who knows. This show is weird. Listen along as we try to uncover exactly what this show was trying to accomplish and what it ended up doing. Will this podcast be useful? Probably not! Will it change the world? UNLIKELY! Will they solve all of humanity’s problems through this exercise? ALMOST DEFINITELY NO. But we’ll have fun doing it and that’s really the point.

    We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 22 “Cogenitor,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. During a first contact with some new aliens, Trip learns that their species has a third gender that is institutionally marginalized called "cogenitors." He strikes up a friendship with one of these cogenitors and attempts to convince them they have innate rights to dictate the course of their own life. Meanwhile, Archer is off on a romantic getaway with the captain of the alien ship and Malcolm.... well, the less we say about what that man was up to in this episode, the better.
