We've got a new pod episode out today about the Star Trek ENT episode "The Shipment" where Archer becomes bro-friends with a bigfoot Xindi.

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.
