"Under the Cloak of War" is a really serious, complex episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ... but don't worry, Anika and Liz are here to talk about the sex pollen fic opportunities! And also:

• Looking at fan reactions to this episode, one might almost begin to think people apply a different standard to new Trek compared with the Star Trek of the '90s
• Liz completely misremembers the matter of the Accountant of Auschwitz: it was Germany, not Israel, who put him on trial and sentenced him to prison, and he died before he began his sentence
• Did M'Benga do it?
• It's a real shame Starfleet's only competent admiral/mental health professional got blown up
• The Federation is America (derogatory)
• We are once again asking, whose utopia is it anyway?
