We’re back! Caitlin finally edited the episode! In fact, you might say that this episode was Lost … on Caitlin’s Hard Drive. In this episode, Caitlin and Nicole are joined again by Caitlin’s long-suffering brother Ryan to discuss episodes 6 and 7 of Lost in Space. (Stars alive, when will we get through this series? How much more can I take? [sobs internally] ) Join us in this episode to discuss black holes, tar pits, and puzzling through what the heck the writers were trying to accomplish with Dr. Smith.

Episode 16: As You Know, All Good Generals Quote Shakespeare | Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

The internet, the final frontier. These are the voyages of That’s Not How Science Works. To expose strange new science. To fact check new movies and new TV shows. To boldly go where no podcaster has gone before! Yes, that’s right folks. We’ve come to the mother of all science fiction shows: Star Trek. Caitlin and Nicole are joined by their friend Amanda to discuss one of the underrated Star Trek movies, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. We discuss some of the less plausible science in this movie specifically, such as the fact that you will not go into a hypothermia coma in under a minute and how it’s strange that you could pick up neutron radiation with a torpedo but not, say, a sensor on the bridge of your spaceship built to detect such things. We also touch on some of the science of Star Trek more broadly, including the implausibility of teleportation. (Sorry, Scotty!) However, maybe it’s just the fact that we’re used to the trash science of The Flash, but really, this science isn’t half bad. As it turns out, caring about “accuracy” and having “science advisors” that you actually “listen to” can make a world of difference in the plausibility of your show. Good work Star Trek!
