Archer's Got Brain Worms!

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 8 “Twilight,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. Archer gets timey wimey brain worms leading to a terrible future where earth is destroyed, humanity is nearing extinction, and Malcolm has a goatee. But don't worry, it's not all bad! T'Pol wears normal clothes for the first time ever!

Jamie and Maria are at DragonCon! Look up Jamie’s panels in the DragonCon app by searching for “Jamie Bernstein” on the speakers tab.

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.
