So Discovering Trek listeners, it seems that shore leave is happening for half of the Enterprise. Rest and relaxation for some and a big ole nothing for others. Sato truly impresses the locals and Phlox needs uninterrupted hibernation nap time, but that doesn't quite go as planned. Well at least nothing goes wrong for any of the other crew while on Risa, right? Right? In this episode, Co-hosts Kasey and Sara talk about all that plus what their thoughts are of the 2 dogs is this episode. And we ain't talking about Portos and Rhylo! Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them for the penultimate episode of season one of Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come in your finest vacation attire and explore the First Frontier with us.

 This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks, a Starfleet Drill Instructor with ulterior motives arrives on the Cerritos to test the crew.  The Lower Deckers and the senior staff switch roles and as one might expect, things don't go as they all hoped.  The Borg, the Mirror Universe, and the Ancient West are all fair game in the holopods, but a real emergency with a Crystalline Entity will show just how special the crew of our favorite California Class Starship really is!  Bill, Dan, Sara and Kasey break down Episode #8 I, Excretus!  Join us for some great fun and discussion!

Where Pleasant Fountains Lie

 Freedom fighters or terrorists? Beefcake scenes. A mythological persona gaining traction in the quadrant. And The Kurgan! Can there really be only one? Especially if it involves desserts? In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the simmering effects 9/11 had on the writing and narrative course of the first season of Enterprise. Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for a bite to eat, preconceived notions to be challenged and some curious discussion. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

The Spy Humongous

 Discovering Trek listeners things are a bit different in this episode because the Vulcans need a favor from Starfleet.

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the hero worship by T'Pol and her effect on the Ambassador. Sara and Kasey hope you'll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for an awkward handshake and explore the First Frontier with us!

Fallen Hero

 Discovering Trek listeners… "it slimed me." Insulting your guests during first contact, having a stowaway that's sticky and slimy and crewmembers becoming part of a sentient web like creature are what this episode is all about. In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that and was this a Trek attempt to use a little alien homage? Maybe, because this episode made me wanna scream into space. Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for some marshmallowy talk. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

Mugato, Gumato

 Oh boy. Discovering Trek listeners, join us as we learn a lot more about the Suliban. Not everyone has yellow eyes or genetic augmentation, as Archer and the crew find out. Travis and the Captain make a not so great first contact, but eyes and ears are gradually opened. A rescue mission and jail break? And hey, doesn’t Grat look familiar? Ziggy would give ya great odds on that. In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the simmering effects 9/11 had on the writing of the first season of Enterprise.

We'll Always Have Tom Paris

 Discovering Trek Listeners, welcome to a spectral delight of a yarn. When you are far, far away from receiving supplies from Starfleet, an alleged ghost ship that is stuffed to the brim might just be your salvation. Trip falls in like, a parent’s guilt and a daughter’s earned chance for a better life all come at us in this story. In this episode, Co-Hosts Sara and Kasey discuss those aspects of the plot and the pure delight of having a Trek veteran guest starring. No sleeping in a bucket in this story. Since no human being would stack books like this, we hope you join us on Discovering Trek: Enterprise. Come explore the First Frontier with us!
