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. Sound assistance by K.O. Myers at Particulate Media If you enjoy the show, follow us on Facebook or on BlueSky or send us an email to enterprisesplaining@gmail.com. We cannot tell you how much we would love to hear from you! The post Second Contact: Goodness Gracious Great Balls Defiler! appeared first on The ESO Network.
