175. Gwyndala's Dad Has Got It Goin' On (Prodigy 2.01 and 2.02)

Anika and Liz sign up for an internship, accidentally steal a ship, and … well, we're discussing the second season premiere of Star Trek: Prodigy! 

(Please note we have seen the whole season, and although we make some very virtuous remarks about sticking to the episodes at hand, we cannot be trusted to respect the Temporal Prime Directive.)

• The binge model and Star Trek
• Dal versus the education system
• Sexualising the Diviner
• Zero's story is both a trans narrative and a disability narrative 
• The romances in this series are super low key and free of inherent drama … but would there be a bigger fandom if the show provided more fodder for ship wars? Is that better? Or worse? 
• Jankom and therapy and Dr Noum
• Rok-Tahk, rules and Liz's Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead trauma
