We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 7 “The Shipment,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. Tipped off by last week’s Beast-incel, the Enterprise heads to a planet where they believe the Xindi are manufacturing parts of their superweapon only to find a weirdly chill Bigfoot Xindi planet where nobody is aware there’s a war on. Also, Trip and Phlox mess with a Xindi weapon to see how it works and it goes exactly as poorly you’d expect. Guest Raychelle Burkes joins us to marvel at the weird science the many safety and security protocols that everyone ignores in this episode.
