179. This Race Could Have Been An Email (Prodigy 2.06 and 2.07)

Anika and Liz hit a speedbump with their recording schedule (stupid jobs) and then hit a speedbump with Prodigy in the form of ... two episodes that we did not entirely love? Is that even possible? We're here to talk about episodes 6 and 7 of Star Trek: Prodigy's second season: "Identity Crisis" and "The Fast and the Curious"...

• Both of these episodes are mainly about putting the pieces in place and setting up threads for later
• What type of characters are allowed to be audacious and ambitious? 
• Does Prodigy have a problem with body diversity and same-face? 
• Zero/Ma'jel and the power of being chosen by someone instead of being thrown together by circumstances
• Anika has a new favourite Andorian
• Dr Noum: great at work-life balance, maybe not so great at … his job
• "I'm going to say something controversial and brave."
• We're not NOT shipping Gwyn/Ma'jel
