02/22/22 • 59 min
After a lengthy mid-season break, STAR TREK DISCOVERY season 4 is back and so are we! Joining Anita are two exciting returning guests: clinical psychologist Ali Mattu and NASA engineer Bobak Ferdowsi, both with impressive Star Trek credentials (such as having actually watched DS9). We had an awesome episode with them during season 3 of Disco, so we’re jazzed to have them back.

Star Trek Discovery | Season 4, Episodes 6 & 7: “Stormy Weather” & “…But to Connect”
If you like Youtubers, Trekkies, and Trekkie Youtubers, this is your episode. Anita is joined by special guests Steve Shives and Jessie "Gender" Earl to discuss episodes 6 and 7. Listen in as they share their thoughts on the first half of the season (including the, so far, stellar handling of mental health issues), their hopes and speculations for the second half of the season (like the morally grey question of how to stop the DMA), who we’re star-shipping as a couple this season (you might be rooting for them too), and most controversially, Jonathan Frakes’ direction of episode 6 (gasp!) All this and more on today’s episode of Feminist Frequency’s Star Trek Podcast!
