141. The Ninth Episode Curse (Star Trek: Picard season 3 - part 2)

Anika and Liz put on their most stylish Starfleet tactical vests and walk right into a trap. And along the way, we finish our discussion of season 3 of Star Trek: Picard, including...

• We are not impressed by Captain Shaw
• The Jack and Seven relationship is a HIGHLIGHT
• Worf treats Raffi better than literally anyone else in the whole of Star Trek: Picard, which is … bad. Like, it's great! But it's bad
• Liz hijacks the podcast to talk about Succession, and how Terry Matalas is like Logan Roy
• "Vox" is better than previous penultimate episodes of the seasons, but still not great! Everyone is suddenly an idiot! 
• Order 66, Star Trek style
• Romance is … not this series' strong suit
• We spend a good few minutes working out how an unexpected pregnancy in middle-age can happen in a 24th century "utopia", which is probably more time than the writers put in
• It's really hard to root for Seven/Raffi when they don't seem to actually like each other
• Stepford Laris
• Liz has a whole rant about autistic representation in Picard; Anika responds with nuance
• In conclusion, this is our pitch to showrun Star Trek: Legacy
