In our new episode out today, Bill tells us about the #StarTrekENT episode Canamar, a ConAir ripoff (ConAirMar?) where Archer confesses he's a smuggler (GUILTY OF BEING SMUG), Trip gets stuck next to That Guy on a long flight, and while T'Pol is in charge, everyone does their jobs competently.

We released our Second Contact episode today about the #StarTrekENT episode Future Tense. Bill and Maria tell us what they thought of the not-a-tardis ship and stegasaurus time loops. Plus, we chat about the treasure trove that is the Memory Alpha page for "profanity."

New episode out today! @uajamie.bsky.social tells us about the #StarTrek ENT episode Future Tense where the Enterprise discovers a ship that can travel through time and is bigger on the inside, and yet is somehow not a Doctor Who crossover.

Our Second Contact episode on Cease Fire is out today! @mrssweatheifer.bsky.social from @monkeeingaround.bsky.social joined us to talk about how much we all just love Shran and why this was a standout episode of ENT. Plus we recapped our time at @dragoncon.org and talked about gyrospheres. #startrek

We fixed it. Just doing our due diligence to make sure no body part seen on Enterprise is missing from the Memory Alpha page for said body part.
screenshot of the memory alpha page for "navel" showing that a reference to the ENT episode Vanishing Point was added to the entry "Some forms of clothing revealed one's navel."

New episode out today! Our guest explainer @charleskelso.bsky.social from @earthstationtrek.bsky.social tells us about the #StarTrekENT episode Cease Fire. The Vulcans and Andorians are at war, so obv Cpt Jonathan "the closest thing Starfleet has to an Ambassador" Archer is going to involve himself.

Today we released “Second Contact: Oops, I Hate It Again!,” revisiting the #startrek Enterprise episode Stigma with the help of @subspacesue.bsky.social who has a WEALTH of knowledge about why this episode exists. Plus we giggle about the memory alpha page for “naval” in our Mammary Alpha segment.

New episode out today “Oops, I Hate it Again!” about the #startrek Enterprise episode Stigma where T'Pol deals with the repercussions of the events from Fusion via clunky metaphors for HIV/AIDS. Luckily there's a Trip B-plot that almost makes up for it but not quite.

What do you get if you cross TNG's “Darmok” with “Enemy Mine” and a He-Man villain named after the titular building in Only Murders in the Building? You get the #StarTrekENT episode "Dawn," which Bill explains to us in this week's episode of EnterpriseSplaining.

The crew of EnterpriseSplaining is taking a short break from #StarTrekENT this week in order to go on an away mission to Quantum Leap. @uajamie.bsky.social just watched the first season of #QuantumLeap for the first time and has lots of thoughts about Scott Bakula in that compared to ENT.

We are on a second contact mission today revisiting the #StarTrekENT episode "The Catwalk" where Bill and Maria tell us exactly how much of a whiney baby they think Malcolm was being. Plus, in our Mammary Alpha segment we talk about how overrepresented ENT is on the Memory Alpha page for Buttocks.

Our episode I'm Too Sexy for This Episode! is out today about the #StarTrekENT episode "The Catwalk" where the whole crew has to live in one of the nacelles for 8 days without showers or a change or clothes, but Archer still finds time to watch his beloved water polo & Malcolm acts like a whiny baby

In today's episode, we're on a second contact mission to the #startrek ENT episode Precious Cargo now that we’ve all watched it. Rebecca Watson @skepchick.org is back to hear what we thought of the episode. Plus, we respond to all the love and hate we've gotten for our Diane Warren segment!

Saturday mood: TFW baby Bill accidentally cosplays T'Pol.
A young boy in the 1970s seated at a desk with a large book in front of him, along with an apple, and a globe behind him. He has a dorky haircut that resembles the Vulcan character T'pol from Star Trek Enterprise. He is smiling. Why is he smiling? Probably because the photographer told him to smile. The photo has a brown haze because it is the 70s.

A bumper episode this week as @skepchick.org, who has never watched Enterprise or listened to our show, guest ‘splains the #startrek ENT episode Precious Cargo to our crew. It went just about as magnificently as expected. Bonus points if you catch all the different ways she pronounces ‘T’Pol’!

Take that random review we once got on our podcast from someone who said they love everything about our show except for the Diane Warren segments.
Screenshot of a review showing 5 stars with the text: I LOVE this podcast! I've listened to every single episode (except the Diane Warren segments, which are of frustratingly indeterminate and hard to skip length) and love the struggle to explain the inexplicable Enterprise. It very nearly makes me want to rewatch Enterprise.

Our new episode just dropped with our Second Contact mission revisiting the #startrek ENT episode "Vanishing Point." Come to hear exactly how much we all hated that twist ending. Stay to hear us all giggling while reading choice quotes from the Memory Alpha page on "Nipple."

Our new episode is out today where we learn what happens in the #startrek ENT episode "Vanishing Point." Along with our guest @kevin251.bsky.social from @flopcast.bsky.social, we play an unfortunate game of "is this star trek magic or misogyny?" The answer will almost certainly disappoint you.

We also just need to talk about why Archer has a giant comb in his shower.
