151. Working Girl (Nyota’s Version) (SNW 2.10)

Anika and Liz stop off in a small town in the ... midwest? to hang out in a diner? And discuss "Hegemony", the second season finale of Strange New Worlds? Which was definitely an episode of television?

• The Gorn problem (why are the characters so incurious about them?)
• SNW rips off the Alien franchise without understanding it
• Concept: promote Pike early, stash him on Starbase One with April, give Batel the Enterprise
• Do the writers know Erika Ortegas is a regular character? Do they know Sam Kirk is not? 
• Is it because we're both career admin people that we don't vibe with Pike's leadership style? Anika has a whole theory about the 1980s comedy Working Girl and how Pike is the Sigourney Weaver character!
  
• "What if we do the 'Best of Both Worlds' cliffhanger, only … bad?" 
• Anika has a BAD THEORY about La'an's fate
  
• Liz has a WORSE THEORY about Paramount+'s fate and the odds of a third season
