93. Illogical Real Estate Scams (Disco 4.03)

It's a Qowat Milat road trip! Pack your sword, moisturise your hands and join Anika and Liz as we talk about "Choose to Live"!

• Actually we did not love this episode and feel slightly bad about it (but maybe the writers should feel worse?)
• PRESIDENT RILLAK DID NOTHING WRONG, Liz has a powerpoint presentation and an interpretive dance to persuade you if you disagree
• We are once again calling for the abolition of the carceral state
• We don't know enough about the Federation OR Ni'Varan justice systems to understand why Michael disagrees with Rillak, and that's kind of a problem
• We have a lot of complaints about this episode, but we love and adore its depiction of Vulcans
• Spock's World by Diane Duane, a novel which is unexpectedly relevant to this episode of Discovery
• Michael has chemistry with EVERYONE and it's a problem (unless you're a multishipper, which we are)
