Boldly, Tho: Recent Episodes
Boldly, Tho
This is late, but makes up for that by being over 2 hours long! We're hanging out with our TOS friends on Vulcan in The Vulcan Academy Murders! Come to a viewing of the sister planet with us as we navigate brain marriages, meet beloved doctors, indulge in Sarek Time, and quickly solve the titular murder.
We're closing out or trilogy of novellas with what turns out the be the middle chapter, Rules of Accusation! Whoops! Join us for Ferengi party planning, meta summations of character arcs, and an awful lot of fakes.
This time we're walking the mean streets of Ferenginar with Odo in I, the Constable! Join us for letters to offscreen characters, cool uses of shapeshifting, and the logistics of Snow Vegas.

This Boldly, Tho is really quite wooly, for reasons unknown! It's not as if Enterprise's Precious Cargo is a notable enough episode to generate a lot of feeling, and yet here we are debating everything from the flatness of a lot of odd couple/antagonistic storylines to whether people in Florida play harmonicas. It's wild!
