Second Contact: Trip Tucker, Swamp King!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 11 “Precious Cargo,” now that Maria, Jamie, and Bill have watched it. Rebecca Watson joins us once again to hear our thoughts now that we've all watched this episode! A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Trip Tucker, Swamp King!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

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.
