After a spectacular season premiere, Star Trek: Prodigy has a more sobering second episode, which finds Johnson expressing some strong and violent opinions about Dal, and the issues that make the character instantly intolerable for him. Mike takes a more measured approach, and gives the character (as well the show) a bit more benefit of the doubt. Either way, we're just reminded that we might not...

This week, we're joined by one of the most positive and joyful people in the Star Trek Universe! This accomplished actor has been in so many memorable roles and, sometimes, we bet you didn't even know it was him! His ability to act while covered up under layers of latex and makeup make him one of the most talented human beings on the face of the Earth. His character, Saru, on the highly acclaimed...

It happened in Vegas, and we are going to spill the tea. The SyFy Sistas have never laughed as hard as we did with everyone's favorite Discovery Season 3 cast member, Noah Averbach-Katz.

Noah gets silly and seriou...

This week the SyFy Sistas look at the thirteen Star Trek films to see how Black actors have fared in them. We rate the TOS crew, the TNG crew, and the Kelvin crew on inclusion. With the help of a repurposed Bechdel-Wallace type test (which gauges how women fare in films) that we call the SyFy Sistas Cultural Inclusion Checklist we hold these films up to their own IDIC imbued mirror. But it’s not a...

We take a look back at Lower Decks Season 2 - the lows, the highs, and everything in between. We delve into some of our favorite moments, particularly the last three episodes of the season - and what are some of our predictions for Season 3?

Jamie gives us critical intel on how to start (go with your passio...

What a finale! We've finally arrived at the last episode of Lower Decks Season 2, and boy was it a doozy. Somehow, Mike McMahan and team manage to fit a LOT of storyline into just 30 minutes of TV.

After talking about the finale, we go into...

We also chat briefly about the first novel in...
