270: Level V Transporter Accident

[SNW405] This week, Let’s Talk About Treks is covered in felt and has canon strings attached. Earl Grey and jaQ` Darino discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season four episode five, Level 5 Transporter Accident, including whether T’Pring is gaslighting Spock, whether any of the puppet adventure actually happened, and what the whole thing says about Spock’s burnout, masking, and responsibility for keeping everyone else functioning.

Along the way, we consider the Enterprise’s serious accessibility problem, the benefits of grafting Spock’s fingertips onto the crew, the tragedy of missing puppet belugas, and whether every character in a prequel is already a puppet of the canon waiting for them.

All this and more: come find out how many points Jim Henson’s Creature Shop adds to an episode’s rating!
