We are joined by Enterprise Aficionado (and also author and cocktail expert) Jon deBary to talk about the first (?) pretty good episode of Star Trek: Enterprise featuring our friend and yours, Shran. That's right folks, it's Season 1, Episode 7: "The Andorian Incident."

The long-teased first appearance of Shran! It's Shran. Shran! Shran! Shran!

In 2001 America, everyone goes insane with patriotism. Meanwhile, aboard the Enterprise NX-01, they're on a dumb planet where everyone is a moron and nothing makes sense and they're eating turtles.

A "quiet week" in American history in 2001, and a weirdly okay episode of Enterprise! They go to a wacky ship with kooky air and also maybe shag carpet and also Trip gets pregnant.

Yes, that really happened. Also, we talk about Season 1, Episode 4: "Strange New World."

Season 1, Episode 3: "Fight or Flight."

Enterprise actually manages to be worse this week, but we have a nice discussion about acronyms thanks to, what else, the Patriot Act.

Clayton and Mattie set off on their Star Trek: Enterprise journey with the crew of the Enterprise NX-01. Captain Archer, the other guy. T'Pol. The other guy as well. And of course, who can forget: What's his name.
