Anika and Liz mediate a war between sentient shapes, and try not to ask awkward questions like, "Why do you even HAVE genders?"
Okay, no, we're discussing Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 6, "Of Gods and Angles"!
- Another round of the "accept what makes you different" moral, which is not bad, but more suited to Bluey than an allegedly sophisticated comedy for adults
- (Bluey is successful for the same reason that Star Trek is successful! Competence porn and aspirational levels of decency!)
- "They could do anything, but they have no imagination!" is a BOLD choice of dialogue in a season this weak
- Teen pregnancy? The Humourless Feminist Killjoy Hour is here to ask: is Star Trek entering its natalist era?
- Liz talks really authoritatively about Romeo and Juliet for someone who hasn't read or watched it since 1997
