Episode 42: Complicated Relationships, Accountability, and Organic Semiconductors
Trek Table Episode 42 dives deep into Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Episode 9, "Rubicon". Host Marie Reine-Velez returns after a hiatus, and is joined by regulars Alison De La Cruz, Claudia Alick, and Maia Mills Low. The full crew welcomes special guest, Dr. Malika Jeffries-EL, Professor of Chemistry, Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at Boston University, and self-proclaimed "born-again Trekkie". Together, they discuss complicated relationships, connection, accountability, organic semi-conductors, and other topics as they relate to this particularly anxiety-provoking episode.
Trek Table is a talkshow holding Trek Space for Black, Indigenous, Brown, Women of Color (Queer or otherwise) and our Allies. We welcome Trek heads, newbies, generational Star Trek families, the sci-fi curious, and all the evolving identities surrounding Trekdom to explore, celebrate, and dive deep into Star Trek Discovery.
