    SNW Season 4 - 1st Half

    The crew of the Hailing Frequencies Open is back aboard the Enterprise, and this time we’re breaking down the first SIX episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4! Mike, Damian, and Lanita are joined by Matt Jennings, Jodi Pickens, and Anna Rozay for a lively, hilarious, and occasionally VERY opinionated discussion of everything SNW has thrown at us so far. From the stories and character arcs to the big swings, questionable decisions, surprises, and those moments that had us yelling at the screen—we're getting into all of it. What’s working? What isn’t? Which characters are stealing the show? And where does Season 4 rank among the best of Strange New Worlds so far? Come aboard as we laugh, argue, overanalyze, and boldly go through Episodes 1–6 of Season 4! ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This episode discusses Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episodes 1–6 in detail. Watch the episodes before listening!
