176. Jankom Pog Politely Disagrees (Prodigy 2.03)

Anika and Liz attempt to change the timeline so Paramount never dropped Prodigy and we got to enjoy each episode week by week … but alas, we did not pay attention in Temporal Mechanics 101. 

We're discussing Star Trek: Prodigy's "Who Saves the Saviors", including…

• Rok-Tahk knows when to keep her mouth shut and when to tattle, and also has done nothing wrong (ever, in her entire life)
• Dal has never watched Star Trek and isn't about to start now
• We have conflicting feelings about birds, and Liz drops some Doctor Who lore
• Tysses and Noum are the Married Mean Gays that Star Trek has needed for eternity. Yes, we just made that up. But it's canon in our hearts. And we would subscribe to their podcast.
• This isn't even the first time Chakotay has abandoned a bunch of kids in the Delta Quadrant!
• Why is everyone so determined to put Janeway and Chakotay in parental roles when it's clear they would both be very bad at it?
• Jankom represents some of Star Trek's best disability rep ever
• Janeway is deeply flawed, and that's good writing
