This episode is so good even Vulcans are excited about it! Whether you're a Trekkie, a Trekker, or none of the above we hope you enjoy Jonathan Alexandratos joining Ashley to talk about the new trans and non-binary characters in Star Trek Discovery as well as a lot of context for those not so well versed in the expansive lore of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets.
This discussion is not expansive (Ashley wasn't even caught up when the episode was recorded) but multiple people, Jonathan included, were incredibly moved by finally feeling represented. If you have been following, or like Ashley, had to play catch up because the first season didn't click for you we want to hear from you. Send us a message on Anchor using the "Message" Button to tell us your thoughts on Adira, Gray, and Star Trek in general!
