We were MAD y’all.

My laptop suddenly threw me an update required message and forced me to exit. A little disruptive but good for you, BIOS. Self care is so important.

In our episode today, with guest geologist @mikamckinnon.bsky.social, @mariadsouza.bsky.social tells us about the #StarTrekENT episode “The Breach” where the guys do some incompetent spelunking, getting Travis injured again, & Phlox treats an alien from a species that are enemies with the Denobulans

100% accurate

Look I LOVE Heated Rivalry as much as the next girl and probably more but I'm also 51 years old so I am also mostly "Oh they're all such sweet boys! 🥰"

I needed this and you might too.

I got "yeasty." YEASTY!

Seems unlikely.

I was born in 1974 & have nostalgia for the 80s but dang, the 90s were a weird-ass decade. Like, let's all wear spaghetti straps and overalls. Our glasses have to be thin and rectangular and we will listen to anything from monks chanting to brass bands we will be taking no questions.

I've been laughing about this clip for an hour now. And I stand by the opinions I voiced here.

This all started when Riker told the Holodeck computer to create an advent calendar that can defeat Maria.

Then the Riker ornament said "Computer, end program" and exited the Holodeck

If true, this raises more questions than it answers.

I had almost forgotten about this.

omg is the sex ghost in the lantern?! omg.

Thank you for this entire thread!!! Is it a pet, is it another intelligent species, is it a Halloween hobgoblin that accidentally made its way into the advent calendar? Can Uhura communicate with it, or will it devour the redshirts?

It's the most wonderful tiiiiiime of the year!

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

Christmas Sprout?

Weird Yoda?

The decapitated head of an elf? What's in the box, Uhura? What's in the box?!?

Orion Pirate Santa

Biblically accurate Mike Wakowski

That is a hairless tribble.

OK so I went and looked. We got 3 of her... But none of that. I have no idea what that is. I think your's is just especially cursed.

I have started carrying my passport in my purse always. I sometimes get nervous because I don’t carry my purse when walking the dog around the neighborhood and have been wondering if I should start. it's insane that this is something I need to worry about but here we are.

On the one hand, it could be that there are 9 ornaments and 24 strings left. However, it would also be fitting that there be 🎵FIVE GOLDEN STRINGS🎶

Hello new friends who are enjoying my ridiculous calendar! Did you know that I also host a VERY ridiculous Star Trek podcast about ST: Enterprise? And my cohosts are far funnier than I am! Check out @enterprisesplain.bsky.social #bololygo

Omg Z0Z5

Think this one is my fave so far lol

13 of 24(maybe) wishes you a merry assimilation.

Did...did they make Santa a redshirt?

Does the red hair make him a Gingerborg Man?

Mad I didn’t think of this joke earlier.

To get out ahead of something: I know there are a bunch of people who wont watch Starfleet Academy because they've been repeatedly told its going to be a teen angst/drama show. If people watch it and don't like it, ABSOLUTELY fair and no problem. But a lot of creators are going to shit on it

In today’s episode, we’re on a second contact mission to revisit the #startrekENT episode The Crossing and @scottsigler.bsky.social is back with us to hear what the rest of us thought of his bonkers explainer of the episode now that we’ve seen it for ourselves!

"Smug is the emotional tone of Mastermind. I want the buyer to feel judged by the box. Like the box is already disappointed in them. If you don’t want smug, don’t name the game Mastermind. This isn’t fucking checkers. This is a duel in a seminar room at Davos."

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a TOS episode with a Giant Space Present

Space is big! It can't be contained in just one day of an advent calendar.

Maybe one of the empty spaces is supposed to represent a transporter malfunction

I was a guest on the "Enterprise 'Splaining" podcast. I watched the #StarTrek episode, then explained it to the cast, who also hadn't watched it. "The Crossing" was a drug-fueled extravaganza of awful pickup lines, wearing sexy undies for no particular reason, karate fights, & Golden Corral buffets.

Spock is about to deliver his famous Vulcan Karate Chop

"Bones, that's not what the stun setting is for."

Christmas is coming!

Eric said it isn’t empty. It’s space! Where Star Trek takes place! Obviously.

You have bought an AIdvent calendar. This is why synths were banned after the attacks at Utopia Planitia.

This is clearly a reference to Celia ROSE Gooding, Uhura on Strange New Worlds. Duh!

I was looking for an anniversary gift for @jsking.bsky.social, I was served a random ad for a Star Trek advent calendar which I bought without really thinking about it. On December 1, he *really* looked at it. "What does that say?" "To boldly go this Christmas" "Does it?" "OH." (1/?)

Listen. This episode was A. Ride. So glad we had @scottsigler.bsky.social to do the explaining because it made it even wilder. Please enjoy our non-corporeal body swap adventure!

Happy Thanksgiving! The crew of EnterpriseSplaining is taking a much needed holiday break today from #StarTrekENT, and are instead heading out on away mission to visit the movie that all straight HS boyfriends were forcing their girlfriends to watch in the 90s: Highlander!
