Feminist Frequency's Star Trek Podcast

On the second episode of our Star Trek Discovery FREQcast, Anita and Ebony are horrified by the show’s further entrenchment into warmongering fantasy, but are delighted with Lt. Burnham’s steely, unconventional problem solving. Ebony continues to be fascinated by Burnham’s hair.

Anita is pulling double podcast duty this week, and this time, she’s got Ebony in on the action to discuss Star Trek Discovery. This first episode digs into what they love about Star Trek (and what they don’t). Listen in as Anita and Ebony talk about the first two episodes of the new series, “The Vulcan Hello” and “Battle at the Binary Stars" as they attempt to wrestle with Starfleet’s mission of exploration, the draw of a woman of color in command, and why Ebony will be paying close attention to Lt. Burnham’s hair over the course of the season.

Reactions to 1st PICARD Trailer

Marvel fans weren’t the only ones who got a special treat at Comic-Con this July. If you’re a Star Trek fan, you already know that there’s a brand new series on the horizon that focuses on what happens to everyone’s favorite winemaker and amateur archaeologist, Jean-Luc Picard after he retires from Starfleet. Well, a new trailer for the show just dropped, and we couldn’t resist sharing a little bonus episode with y’all about our reactions.

The season two finale is upon us and Ebony and Anita prepare for all the emotional hurdles this show throws our way. But let’s be real, a season finale on the scale that only Discovery can provide begs A LOT OF QUESTIONS. We have so many questions that we will never have answers for. But Ebony does get a resolution to the one question that has been haunting her for years.

We're so close to the end of Star Trek Discovery's second season, but before we press the self-destruct button on the Recap FREQcast, let's race through some space corridors and figure out what happened in this week's episode! Anita is off taking time suit flying lessons, so Ebony was joined in the Keanu Reeves Memorial Studio by psychologist and Star Trek cheerleader, Ali Mattu for a rundown of all the fist-pumping moments "Such Sweet Sorrow" gave us.

Check out Dr. Mattu's efforts to make psychology fun and easy to understand --and listen to him break down the psychology of science fiction at his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thepsychshowdotcom
