Podcast: A Star to Steer Her By
Episode: Episode 110 Not Brought To You By Anyone
Description: We're stuck with a couple of clunkers this week, folks. First up, it's a crappier version of "The Bonding" when a boy decides he wants to be an android and that blithering idiot Troi agrees in "Hero Worship". After that, the very delicate topic of sexual assault is given a sci-fi twist and absolutely NONE of the delicate nuance or handling it needs in "Violations".
Also this week: hitting the brown note, Ghostbusters 2, and sponsors.
Content warning: see above. "Violations" is a sexual assault/rape allegory and there's a LOT of talk about it.
