    Captain's Logs — Terra Nova (2151)

    This week’s discussion is over Star Trek: Enterprise season 1 episode 5, Terra Nova Enterprise finally answers a seventy-year-old question: what happened to Terra Nova, Earth's first colony beyond the solar system, which went silent after an angry break with home. Thara and Elias open the log of a ghost town, a people who survived underground, and a grudge that turned out to be built on a message that never arrived. In this episode, the hosts trace the Conestoga colonists from their nine-year voyage and proud founding, through the asteroid strike the survivors called poison rain, to the underground Novan society of fifty-two people who believed Earth had attacked them. They argue over Archer bringing a doctor instead of a security team, praise Nadet — the elder who lets herself be cured and lets new evidence into a lifetime of taught hatred — and fight about Jaymin's suspicion, the linguist who was never sent, and whether slow cave diplomacy is the log's weakness or its whole point. Thara's own discovery of forty-seven sealed crates in the lower stacks, guarded by archivists who stopped trusting the main office after a cancellation message never arrived, rhymes with the Novans a little too closely for Elias to resist mentioning. Verdicts: Elias 7 out of 10 Thara 9 out of 10. Subscribe to the show, turn on notifications, share an episode with a friend, and leave a quick rating or review — it all helps the show grow.

    Captain's Logs — Unexpected (2151)

    This week’s discussion is over Star Trek: Enterprise season 1 episode 4, Unexpected Enterprise is being secretly robbed — and the robbers need help. Thara and Elias open the log of Unexpected, in twenty-one fifty-one, when a crippled, cloaked Xyrillian ship siphons Enterprise's plasma exhaust, Captain Archer volunteers Trip Tucker to repair it, and a friendly telepathic pebble game with engineer Ah'len leaves Trip host to a Xyrillian embryo — the first recorded human male pregnancy. In this episode, the hosts follow Trip from Phlox's acclimatization injections and a fainting arrival aboard the garden-like Xyrillian ship, through Ah'len's holographic city of Thera and the pebble game, to the wrist growth, Phlox's careful hosting verdict, and the hunt for the Xyrillians in a Klingon cruiser's wake, where T'Pol spends Archer's Klaang debt and Archer trades holo-technology to Captain Vorok before Ah'len safely transplants the embryo and apologizes. Along the way they argue over consent versus care, secret help versus open help, and why Archer spending the Empire's gratitude on one engineer is sound captaining, while in the archive a Preservation freezer secretly siphons their own power through junction forty-seven for thirty-five hours until Thara insists the form be filed. Verdicts: Elias 6 out of 10 Thara 8 out of 10. Subscribe to the show, turn on notifications, share an episode with a friend, and leave a quick rating or review — it all helps the show grow.
