Dr. Phlox, Space Veterinarian!

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 13: “Dear Doctor” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. Plus, we have a special guest, Seelix, join us to tell us if the science in the episode is accurate (spoiler: that is not how evolution works!). Phlox and Archer wrestle with some gnarly ethical issues which could have been solved if only they had a clear doctrine. Perhaps some sort of… directive. 

Follow Seelix on Bluesky: @seelix 

Jamie and Seelix will both be part of Science Track at DragonCon 2024! Look for their panels in the DragonCon schedule under Jamie Bernstein and Emily A Finke. If you say ”hi” to them, they may have special badge ribbons for you. 

Rikermendations:

  • Jamie: Stealing From Wizards YA book series by R.A. Consell 
  • Bill: Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald J. Sobol 
  • Maria: tv show My Adventures with Superman 
  • Seelix: Friends at the Table podcast

About the Podcast

Enterprisesplaining
EnterpriseSplaining - The podcast where we try to explain Star Trek: Enterprise to each other! We are bewildered by this show. We have questions - so many questions! Join Jamie, Bill, and Maria as they attempt to make sense of this 22-year-old show that represents one of the strangest chapters of Star Trek history.

Haven’t watched or don’t want to watch the show? No problem! At EnterpriseSplaining, we’ll do that work for you! Every week, one of us will watch an episode and explain it to the others - or try to. No Star Trek knowledge is necessary, although it might help? Who knows. This show is weird. Listen along as we try to uncover exactly what this show was trying to accomplish and what it ended up doing. Will this podcast be useful? Probably not! Will it change the world? UNLIKELY! Will they solve all of humanity’s problems through this exercise? ALMOST DEFINITELY NO. But we’ll have fun doing it and that’s really the point.
