Linguistic Games

“Cogenitor” 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise makes first contact with the Vissians, a species that has a lot in common in with humans, such as a love of exploration, a fascination with ice cream, and an interest in large tactical arrays. But they also have key differences, like a third gender that enables reproduction. Given the specialized role these cogenitors, as they are called, play in Vissian society, they have little need for niceties such as literacy. That doesn't sit well with Trip, who befriends the cogenitor of the Vissian chief engineer and his wife, Calla. When Trip teaches the cogenitor to read, it leads to them questioning—and taking—their own life. While Trip’s intentions may have been good, the outcome was not. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time.

While Trip, Malcolm, and Travis goes spelunking for scientists, the crew bring aboard some injured Antarans from an alien ship suffering a reactor leak.

When aliens attack, the brothers must put their differences aside to survive.

A very good podcast about a very great show.

I recently started re-watching enterprise for the fourth time because I had heard of a podcast doing a episode by episode rewatch for the 20th anniversary. I was four episodes in when I found a second podcast doing the same. Now I get to enjoy my favorite Star Trek series with not 1 but 2 podcast recaps. 1 hosted by 2 women and 1 by 2 men, while the perspectives are different the love and respect for the show comes through.
Loving the Episode Recap /Discussions starting Ep 203

SonofSaradoc

First-time Enterprise show viewer, coming to it after loving the new Star Trek:Strange New Worlds streaming season. Love the prequel themes & discussions. As 1st-timer only partially thru the show, I’m especially enjoying the podcast’s 20-year anniversary episode-by-episode podcasts starting with WarpFive Ep 203 in Sept 2021. Much less spoilery than the earlier podcast episodes. In-depth and thoughtful.
Great Pod Cast

Unfortunately I have recently discovered this Pod Cast. It is only unfortunate as the cast wrapped up in 2019 ☹️ and I wish it was still going! I really loved the Enterprise TV series and all the of hosts for Warp Five have each added new and different views on the series and have had some very interesting guests too!
