We follow up our mothers-in-Trek episode by looking at ... dads! And, guys, there are so many terrible fathers in Star Trek. So. Many.
- Bonus points to the Hansens, where BOTH parents are terriblel
- Digressions: that careful balance where you don’t want to give up your whole life because you have a child, but also maybe you shouldn’t take that child into Borg space??????
- Sisko, single fatherhood and parenting goals.
- Rom, DS9’s other Good Dad.
- O’Brien, a better dad in TNG than DS9 (brief digression: why Keiko and Miles really ought to consider divorce).
- Worf. Just … Worf.
- In defence of Kirk.
- Data is a good dad. Soong and Maddox: not so much.
- Our Azetbur headcanons are approximately on topic!
- The L’Rell/Tuvok shipping is not, but that isn’t going to stop us.
We came to drink tea and make fun of Sarek ... and we're all out of tea.
