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.

This week, Anita and Ebony are cautiously optimistic about the development of Star Trek Discovery’s depiction of the Klingons, as well as our introduction to Ripper and what its presence portends for Burnham’s growth as a more fully realized character. Anita finds herself thinking more fondly about certain crew members, while Ebony stays focused on the important matters concerning the black women on board the Discovery and their hair. The two hosts have words about Enterprise, and Ebony realizes that she missed a vital moment of the plot.
