Captain Archer again finds himself fooled by a tricksy lady. Join your slightly-skeeved-out hosts as they discuss a solidly entertaining episode that is marred by cavalier and under-examined representations of assault and a very strong orientation towards the male gaze.

Kirk and Spock dress up as Nazis, but it's all in good fun. Join your beany-wearing hosts as they discuss a clever (if somewhat improbable) premise, tonal discordance that somehow doesn't get in the way of the story, and the glorious majesty that is Spock's chest hair.

Turns out when it comes to Nazis, resistance isn't futile! Join your very dry hosts as they discuss Voyager's penchant for combining well-structured traditional moral tales with clever sci-fi conundrums, how much fun many of (but not all) the actors seem to be having playing different characters, and the joyfully chaotic imagery of Klingons slashing Nazis to bits.
