Anika and Liz beam over to a long-abandoned and extremely haunted space ship. And instead of talking about what we experienced over there in the shadows, we're going to discuss episode 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' fourth season, "The Griffin Institute". 

  • This episode is a huge step up from the premiere! And also still super-duper into the eugenics of it all! The away team's biggest fear is … their genes!
  • This whole subplot with La'an is really leaning into racist stereotypes about Chinese women
  • "I am continuously horrified by how this series portrays Spock's internal conflicts." 
  • The episode wants us to think that Carol Marcus is the bad guy in the relationship, not James T "actually I'm gonna go to this conference instead of seeing my infant son" Kirk
  • We are obsessed with the conference. What could possibly be relevant to Spock, La'an and Jim? Was there only one bed? 
  • We are a Pro T'Pring Podcast
  • Does SNW actually want us to be engaged with Spock/La'an? 
  • Liz has a pitch for a Division 12 comic (spoilers: it involves Lorca)
