A Case of Chiaroscuro

[SNW404] This week, Let’s Talk About Treks is watching film noir through the Earl Grey super-good explanation filter. Earl Grey and jaQ` Darino discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season four episode four, A Case of Chiaroscuro, including whether the season’s genre experiments are working, why this alien planet is suspiciously good at recreating 1930s Earth, and how much aluminum foil it takes to dress a Klingon governor.

Along the way, we investigate Chapel’s extremely sloppy espionage, Kor’s ever-changing forehead, M’Benga’s place in the murderous-doctor rankings, and the possibility that everyone aboard the Enterprise already knows what La’an is investigating.

All this and more: come find out whether the episode’s morality has more shades of gray than the episode itself!
