Anika and Liz watch the TOS episode "Is There In Truth No Beauty". And wow, we have a LOT to discuss:
- Liz attempts to summarise the episode and we learn an important lesson about taking notes
- A Medusan character in Prodigy
- As a story about disability, this is … interesting. There's a lot to unpack. Including Kollos, because he lives in a box
- We only want the best for Miranda Jones
- "Both the Spock stuff and the Miranda stuff are actually all about how you present yourself versus who you are to yourself."
- Telepathy and mental health professionals in Gene Roddenberry's future
- Human telepathy in SF generally and Star Trek in particular

- Assistive technology but make it fashion
- Anika's Scotty impression
- Infinite Cash in Gene Roddenberry's Pocket
