This week on Starter Trek, Jessie Gender, Tawny Newsome, and Andrew Ti tackle “A Night in Sickbay,” where Archer completely loses his mind over Porthos, Phlox turns bedtime into a deeply unsettling performance art piece, and Enterprise proves that sometimes humanity’s greatest obstacle to diplomacy is one very stressed man refusing to apologize. ▶Call us at: 323-389-7223▶Check out the crew's bonus shows at http://suboptimalpods.com.▶Subscribe to the audio podcast wherever you get your favorite podcasts: https://omny.fm/shows/startertrek▶See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.▶A Fine Alpinist Ranch Production - http://www.finealpinistranch.com ✔ SOCIAL MEDIA ✔▶Twitter - https://x.com/yoisthisracist ▶Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/yoisthisracist/▶TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@suboptimalpods ✔ CREDITS ✔▶Produced By @JessieGender1▶Edited by AJ McKeon▶Original Music by Jay IsraelsonSuboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tawny Newsome and Eugene Cordero are about to launch a new rewatch show for Star Trek: Lower Decks. This is not that show yet. This is the prep where they tackle the big questions: where will they receive gifts, whether we can watch the episodes at the gun range, and how they can get a Paramount+ subscription. For Star Trek Day, we're releasing the first episode for FREE! All future episodes of this podcast are available to paid subscribers on Suboptimal Podcasts, with episodes released biweekly!  Sign up to get every episode, the progenitor episodes of Starter Trek, support our content, and so much more over at https://suboptimalpods.com/Suboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
