Episode 44: Duets, PTSD, and Emo Hydrocarbon Clusters
Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Episode 11 "Rosetta" is the most feminine, queer, and touchy-feely episode yet... and we're here for it! Trek Table hosts Alison De La Cruz, Claudia Alick, and Maia Mills Low are joined by guests, Jadie Jang and Latisha Jones. Together, they celebrate the various duets this episode, including Burnham/Rillak, Adira/Reno, Adira/Detmer, Book/Tarka, T'rina/ N'Doye, Saru/T-rina and others. They also discuss the unifying story of found family throughout the series, testify that land and space hold memory and emotion, and recognize the importance of context and cultural competency in dealing with the biggest threat to the universe.
