Explicit content warning
09/05/20 • 77 min
Captain Freeman comes up with some 24th-century solutions to 21st-century attitudes, while Mariner attempts to protect Boimler from the smart, accomplished, and attractive Lieutenant Brinson. Join your parasitic hosts as they discuss the politics of world-ending ecological disasters, ruminate on the stresses inherent to galaxy-saving ships, and briefly renew the debate about inertial dampers versus inertial dampeners.
Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven't had a chance to see it yet - beware!
Next week: The U.S.S. Cerritos encounters an old Starfleet shipwreck in episode 6 of Lower Decks' first season - no doubt that some clever shenanigans will ensue!
Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
