Strange New Worlds S1E04: Memento Mori
CW: Sean Connery
A few minutes of Neelix hate? Star Trek has a very loose understanding of astrophysics. Jude comes up with a list of all the other species out there that might eat colonists. Kirk doesn't f*ck as much as you think?
Episodes: Get Carter and Number Crunch
Warning: 5 minutes of pet talk.
In Get Carter, Jude gets weirdly defensive about his philosophy training, we discuss relevant numbers and machine learning, and John goes full Batman. Mutant? Vengeance demon? Something like that. Fusco is actually a good cop, but also a terrible liar.
Witness and Foe
Witness: metaplot 2! Justen's bad NY accents, John's questionable phone choices, and Charlie--I mean, Elias--teasing the third-act reveal in the middle of the episode. Elias is the Bester of Person of Interest.
Foe: A long discussion of cold war surveillance state methods, Justen goes feral over
Ghosts of Ilyria
When was the last time you thought about The Game from TNG? 2048 doesn't give you an orgasm, unfortunately. Long side investigation into exactly when genetic modification laws were established in canon. More yelling. Some talk about the pressures of being an exemplar.

Children of the Comet
Episode 2 continues with a DEEP level of characterization for so many of our new best friends. We continue to be in love. And REALLY horny for Pike. And thoroughly unburdened by conversational boundaries.

Judgment, and The Fix CW: Needles
Fictional gangs, questionable dining habits, and badly sold plots! John's first yellow box notation from the Machine, a ton of guest stars, and a brief diversion into suspension of disbelief about gunshot wounds. We're so glad the judge wasn't ****ing the nanny.
Our first outing with Zoe Morgan is productive, and Harold gets vicious with his money.
Mission Creep, Cura te Ipsum
Mission Creep: In which we get the most concise Jude summary yet, Justen categorizes a wad of S1 numbers under this episode's label, and the Elias arc kicks off. John gets some rare characterization--a soft spot for vets--while Fusco starts to think about John's safety.
"Pilot" and "Ghosts"
In which Ana discovers what it's like to be on the other side of the headphones, there's a fine distinction drawn between war crimes/regular crimes/violations of civil liberties, and we discuss ships we can't discuss.
In the pilot, we question Fusco's frisking ability if he can't find a goddamn grenade on
