Discovering Trek: The Star Trek Universe Companion

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!

Previous Episode

The Andorian Incident

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.

Next Episode

Civilization

Discovering Trek listeners, welcome to our humble shop and to episode 9 of Discovering Trek: Enterprise! This episode, Co-Hosts Sara and Kasey discuss a first contact trip to the home of the Akaali. With a cloak here and a universal translator there, the crew do their best to blend in, break in and lean in.

Archer and Tucker make super unconvincing antique buyers, the alchemist Riian the smartest one in town is leading an investigation of her own and wouldn’t you know it, other aliens are up to some nasty shenanigans below the planet surface.

So how about we take the time to appreciate the intricate process of Akaali tea making and sip this episode without scalding our lips.

We talk all that and Archer’s weak kissing to cover not speaking the language skills. That’s not what native tongue means, Jonathan!

Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them for a mystery meal on Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come explore the First Frontier with us!
