Deep dives into art and media. We did five years dissecting Deep Space Nine with The Rules of Acquisition. Star Trek is overrated. We went in on David Lynch. That was fun. Now? Biding our time. It happens when it happens.

You probably found this podcast feed because you're a fan of Star Trek. And if what our anecdotal evidence suggests is true, then you're not a fan of Star Trek Discovery. That's ok.
