HoM: Star Trek - "Affliction/Divergence" & more

Series 4, Episode 4 - "Listen, these ships f*ck!" Welcome warriors to another Klingon-heavy podcast episode. This week Mike & D.K sit down with returning guest Ken Sweeney from The Comfortable Spot podcast. We talk about Ken's introduction to Trek and some of his faves, discuss shorter recent Trek seasons, his love of all things 'Enterprise' & his top episodes. We forego the usual "Hit or Miss section" this week to address the Star Trek: Prodigy situation, explain just what it's about and why we're really mad. Links to help #SaveStarTrekProdigy are below. We then jump into a review of the pivotal Klingon 2-parter, Enterprise's "Affliction" & "Divergence". We begin with some thoughts and insight into the eps from co-writer Mike Sussman, touch on the thorny subject of visual and story canon, the pitfalls of making a prequel, serialized storytelling, "will they or won't they" plots, "Speed in Space", Trek's best engineer, Klingon Uncle Phil & much more, before rounding up as always with audience thoughts and final scores. So slow down your engines, merge warp bubbles if you can and relax to enjoy this podcast that's smoother than a Klingon augment's forehead.
