104: "Retrospect" Jan 28, 2019

Show notes

Tackling one of our most-requested topics, our crew discusses the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Retrospect," in which Seven of Nine believes she was "violated" by an alien arms dealer. We cover the 1990s cultural context of the episode as well as how it ties in to rape myths and the challenges survivors face reporting assaults.

99: Jadzia, My Beloved Old Friend Nov 19, 2018

She's a young scientist who's also over 300 years old. She carries the memories of women and men, including a gymnast, a mathematician, a mother and a father, a pilot and a murderer.
