Mattie and Clayton dive into more of November 2001 and also Enterprise S1e9: "Civilization," yet another slog where they only try to figure out how to fix the damn show. I hope someone with access to time-travel technology is listening and can take our notes to Brannon Braga.

We talk about S1E8: "Breaking the Ice" and also the deep evil of SHALLOW HAL.

We are joined by Enterprise Aficionado (and also author and cocktail expert) John deBary to talk about the first (?) pretty good episode of Star Trek: Enterprise featuring our friend and yours, Shran. That's right folks, it's Season 1, Episode 7: "The Andorian Incident."

The long-teased first appearance of Shran! It's Shran. Shran! Shran! Shran!

In 2001 America, everyone goes insane with patriotism. Meanwhile, aboard the Enterprise NX-01, they're on a dumb planet where everyone is a moron and nothing makes sense and they're eating turtles.

A "quiet week" in American history in 2001, and a weirdly okay episode of Enterprise! They go to a wacky ship with kooky air and also maybe shag carpet and also Trip gets pregnant.

Yes, that really happened. Also, we talk about Season 1, Episode 4: "Strange New World."

Season 1, Episode 3: "Fight or Flight."

Enterprise actually manages to be worse this week, but we have a nice discussion about acronyms thanks to, what else, the Patriot Act.

Clayton and Mattie set off on their Star Trek: Enterprise journey with the crew of the Enterprise NX-01. Captain Archer, the other guy. T'Pol. The other guy as well. And of course, who can forget: What's his name.
