Welcome aboard the USS Sisterhood! In this launch episode, sisters Marissa Garza and Lisa Garza set course for a new adventure: watching Star Trek: The Next Generation together for the first time—one seasoned casual fan, one total newbie, and zero working knowledge of the theme song.

Expect space jokes, sibling banter, and a heartfelt exploration of what it means to boldly go... as sisters.

🪐 In This Episode:

• Why this podcast exists and what inspired the idea
• Lisa's Star Trek exposure: limited to Lower Decks and vibes
• Marissa's casual Trekker roots: movies, space whales, and childhood TV memories
• Sci-fi vs fantasy, aphantasia, and what makes science feel like real-world magic
• Our sci-fi faves: Andor, The Expanse, Cocoon (yes, that 80s alien pool movie)
• The plan: Watch TNG Season 1 in batches of five episodes
• Theme music and art? All Lisa. Podcast nerdiness? All Marissa.
• The USS Sisterhood origin story (and its secret roots in GarageBand)

👯‍♀️ Why "USS Sisterhood"?

• TNG newbies curious about Star Trek (but not ready to learn Klingon)
• Lifelong Trekkies looking for a fun, heart-forward rewatch
• Sci-fi fans who love pop culture, sisterhood, and deep tangents about ET
• Anyone who’s ever watched Lower Decks and wanted to see the real thing
