So nice to see you again and welcome to episode 8 of Discovering Trek: Enterprise! This episode, Co-Hosts Sara and Kasey dive into a story that at times is as cold as ice, but underneath shows character warmth and growth.

What do a newly discovered comet, an arranged marriage, open flame on a starship, a uncomfortable dinner party and a snowman have in common? This episode!

We ponder if the Vulcans are being nosy overbearing interlopers or are their frequent “happen to be in the neighborhood” coincidences really to send T’Pol secret messages? Travis and Malcolm get all suited up to drill some eisilium. A price is personally paid by this crew for not yet trusting each other and a thaw in relations is begun. Like a warm slice of pecan pie baked by chef, this episode offers some sweet comfort.

We talk all that and discuss the hidden sculpting talent of one armory officer. Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them, on Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

Well hello, we didn’t see you there. Welcome to episode 7 of Discovering Trek: Enterprise! This episode, Co-Hosts Sara and Kasey not so quietly contemplate the intricate relationships the Vulcans and Andorians have and what this first contact for Archer feels like.

With the introduction of Shran, Archer and the crew get an upclose and personal how do you do to Andorians and their violent tendencies and suspicions. Dang, the neighbors just can’t get along.

Does the latest episode of Enterprise beat us up with over the top tropes? Are the Vulcans the kind of guests where you check for all the silverware after they leave? Is this a P’Jem of an episode or just costume jewelry?

We chat all that plus who knew what, and the fantasticalness that is Jeffrey Combs. Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them for some not so superior reasoning and definitely not violent tendencies on this episode of Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come explore the First Frontier with us, you know you wanna.

Welcome to the overside and to episode 6 of Discovering Trek: Enterprise! This episode, Co-Hosts Sara and Kasey take an exploration trip to the great experiment in deep space, Terra Nova. Archer and a landing party have anything but a party on the planet surface and below.

Can humans regain trust of the Novans after 70 years? Are all our bridge crew involved in this adventure? Is T’Pol the voice that Archer needs to listen to? What price comes with colonization and does this episode of Enterprise wish we could see back, or did it taste like digger meat? So don’t confuse your path, settle on in and investigate this episode with us.

We talk all that and discuss the benefits Trek as a franchise enjoys with actors that also direct. That is no shale! Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them after tracking from Earth, on Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come explore the First Frontier with us!
