Nicole and Angelo welcome film critics, podcasters, and Beverly Crusher fans Tina Hassannia and Mallory Andrews to discuss Star Trek: Discovery 1x08, "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum," and the TNG classic "Darmok." Topics discussed include: the tyranny of prestige TV, the ethics of first contact, the challenges and rewards of communicating with others, Rodenberry's humanism, and how to have a conversation entirely through Gilgamesh references.
