Second Contact: Goodness Gracious Great Balls Defiler!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 12 “Chosen Realm,” now that Bill and Maria have watched this episode which is actually a thinly veiled metaphor about fundamentalist Islamic terrorism which irresponsibly promotes myths about Islam at a time when islamaphobia in the US was at its peak (yes, in case you couldn’t guess, Jamie is writing this description). Also, we go on a tangent about man soap opera Landman and discuss the memory alpha page on abortion in our Mammary Alpha segment. A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Goodness Gracious Great Balls Defiler!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week. We now have merch! Show your love for EnterpriseSplaining and the cutest beagle ever with a Porthos Appreciation Society shirt! EnterpriseSplaining is proud to be part of the ESO Network.
