Show notes

Mother of Klingons Mary Chieffo returns to the show for a deep dive into the role of women in Klingon culture.

142: Well, Here We Yar Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

Raised on an lawless colony world, Tasha Yar dedicated her too-short life to order and justice. This week we discuss Tasha's origins and plumb the depths of her most memorable moments, from "The Naked Now" to "Yesterday's Enterprise."

We have partnered with several other Star Trek podcasts and fansites for the #TrekkiesTogether campaign. This campaign is about coming together as a community to support those fighting for racial justice and working to build a more equal future. As part of this campaign, Women at Warp has made a central donation to The East of the River Mutual Aid Fund from Black Lives Matter in Washington DC (as well as individual local donations). Please join us if you are able.

Show notes

This week, the crew talks everything Nurse Christine Chapel, played by the incomparable Majel Barrett (after Number One was axed, of course). We discuss the character's background, best and worst scenes, and whether her "promotion" to Doctor is a positive character development or a slight to the nursing profession.

134: Elementary, Dear Bebe Neuwirth Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

We gender-bend TNG, asking how would it have been different if the same creators had cast women in the men's roles and vice versa. And we suggest which actors of the era would have been best in each role.
