Second Contact: Dude, Where's My Communicator?!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 8 “The Communicator.” Now that Bill and Maria have watched it, we get to hear their thoughts on how Captain Archer messed up getting back a piece of equipment they left on a planet so hard that he managed to start a full-on world war.

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Dude, Where's My Communicator?!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

EnterpriseSplaining is proud to be part of the ESO Network.

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.
