We did it! We made it to season two, where things are, well, not so good still. We've got a loooot of culture to cover between the seasons of the show, so we're joined by pop culture writer extraordinaire Joshua Rivera!

This week: Season 2, episode 1: Shockwave, Part II and the week of September 18, 2002!

Follow Josh on bluesky here.

This week we are talking about the season one FINALE, "Shockwave Part 1" and the week of May 22, 2002. We're here, Mr. Clayton, at the end of all things.

We don't want to alarm anyone, but it's been broken. The norms are dead! The magicians are rioting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Society is over!

This week it's episode 25 of season 1: "Two Days and Two Nights," and the week of May 15, 2002!

In this bonus episode, Clayton and Mattie watch the movie that killed the Jason franchise, 2001 (but really 2002)'s JASON X. Star Trek casting synchronicity is abound! And we don't just mean David Cronenberg.

On May 8th, 2002, Star Trek: Enterprise aired not one, but two episodes in a single night. This wasn't a big deal at the time, but decades later, the hosts of a Star Trek: Enterprise podcast that focuses on covering culture released in the same week would have to scramble for something else to talk about.

They settled on video games. And Clancy Brown.

PROTIP: Blast the theme song at 1.5 speed. It rips! Mattie gets to yell about Lagaan! We debut a brand-new STINGER!

This week we're talking about Season 1, Episode 23 of Enterprise "Fallen Hero," and the week of May 8, 2002.

Buy Mattie's book why not!

Okay. There's a lot of cum talk in this one. But it's not our fault. Blame Season 1, Episode 22 of Enterprise "Vox Sola," and the week of May 1, 2002. This one is like a beautiful gift, wrapped in a big wet clump of saran wrap and snot.

Here's that news report we talked about: https://youtu.be/QYbDcIyzP_o?si=Kw1OywsinAaUbHpg

Also regarding the Trees we talk about, Clayton was talking about Aspens.

This week it's episode 21 of season 1: "Detained" and the week of April 24, 2002. We've got THREE weeks of "stuff" to cover this week. Which: turns out a lot! Anyway, Dean Stockwell is in this one, where we find out: not ALL Suliban are evil, you RACIST!

Preorder Mattie's book, or come see her on book tour!

Remember, it's T'Pol. Like "Polyamory."
