#349 – “Valles Marineris” SNW S4E01

Captain Pike permits genocide but it’s ok ’cause it’s one of those good genocides somehow. Join your entertained but slightly befuddled hosts as they discuss big swings, breath-taking production design, muddled themes, pretty but superfluous scenes, Saffron Burrows, Scotty and Ortega’s dance of digs, too-cute plot twists, and the character arcs set up for the fourth season. Also, an intense controversy over the Magnum P.I. theme song during which Dan makes several solid points while Patrick remains playfully recalcitrant. Meanwhile, Jesse battle a mosquito that he insists was flying around the studio, but Dan and Patrick were too distracted with their own petty disagreements to notice. New listeners – keep listening!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ fourth season with our discussion of “The Griffin Incident”

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
