It's the Season 2 finale! And the Sistas are ending this memorable season with our third Special. John Billingsley drops by for a leisurely chat. The Sistas and John talk about the upcoming TREK*talks2, the 8-hour telethon and the charity that it will benefit, The Hollywood Food Coalition (HoFoCo). Not to worry, there are plenty of Dr. Phlox/Star Trek Enterprise fan-girl moments.

| 29 Oct 2021 | 023 - Black Representation in the Star Trek Movies | 01:07:35 | |
This week the SyFy Sistas look at the thirteen Star Trek films to see how Black actors have fared in them. We rate the TOS crew, the TNG crew, and the Kelvin crew on inclusion. With the help of a repurposed Bechdel-Wallace type test (which gauges how women fare in films) that we call the SyFy Sistas Cultural Inclusion Checklist we hold these films up to their own IDIC imbued mirror. But it’s not all “a day in diversity training”, we select personal favorites (come on, it’s got to be the one with the whales!), and reveal which scenes really get on our last nerves. Check out the Nerd Trek podcast #114 and #115 for J.D.’s full take on Star Trek: The Final Frontier.

Join us for a long-awaited chat with the beautiful, talented, and resilient Malissa Longo, co-host of the 7th Rule Podcast with Cirroc Lofton and Ryan Husk. Malissa is also a business owner and the wife of our beloved Aron Eisenberg. But Malissa is a true multi-hyphenate, dancer, actor, and artist in her own right. The conversation runs from Subrina's beleaguered defense of musicals to the uniqueness of the Star Trek community, Nana Visitor love, Malissa's new acting gig that may go to TV pilot to who is dodging Armin's Shakespeare course. - Malissa Longo's store: www.walkingartmadebymalissa.com We give a special shout out to our sound engineer DoS, the Anonymous.

| 11 Jun 2021 | 014 - Recap of The Sam and Bucky Show - Episode 3 | 01:11:14 | |
Things get real in "Power Broker" as Sam and Bucky are involved in a jailbreak and spy antics in the search for Karli, the Angry Child. The Sistas discuss poor Bucky's reprise as the Winter Soldier. Yvette gets him, Subrina thinks he's alright, Tamia thinks he's layered, but J.D. nails his problem to the wall with millennial accuracy. While Tamia tackles Zemo and iconography, and Yvette explains Walker and Lemar, we learn what J.D. thinks about all three of them. Subrina goes deep into "Trouble Man", while Fran drops love for...swing music. Evil Madripoor, wicked sartorial choices, and a killer cameo round out FAWS Episode 3. But can the Sistas continue their Star Trek reference streak? Who's quoting Dr. Michio Kaku and why? And how did Fiats get into this?

| 24 Sep 2021 | 021 - Picard and the Sistas: Guinan, Lily, and Raffi | 01:06:18 | |
The SyFy Sistas look at the special relationship Captain Jean-Luc Picard maintains with three amazing Black women; Guinan, the El-Aurian bartender from his days on the Enterprise-D, Lily Sloane from his temporal incursion in the film Star Trek: First Contact (1996), and Raffaela (Raffi) Musiker, XO during his command of the Romulan evacuation and later his quest companion in the series Picard. These three women have the ear of the Captain of the Enterprise D and E, the flagship of the Federation fleet, the Chief Contact with the Q Continuum, the Arbiter of Succession for the Klingon Empire, the Savior of Earth from the Borg Invasion, the face of the United Federation of Planets, and a few other things that only Yvette calls him. Our discussion ranges from their conversational styles to our appreciation of the TWA over ugly-ass wigs. But wait until you hear what Fran saw coming that no other SyFy Sista did.

We get back to the everyday with a Tina Fey reference, a discussion of snatching Lemar's Black Card, and Tom Hanks in Castaway. While Tamia wants more on the Blip, J.D. yes, J.D. sees the human side of John Walker. And just wait until we get to (spoiler alert) the entrance of the Dora Milaje.

It's 'Science with Mohamed' as the Sistas get the answers to those questions you've been dying to ask. The episodes "Distant Origin" and "Lineage" from Voyager, and "Masterpiece Society" and "Up the Long Ladder" from TNG come up in this conversation. But as we delve into that whale movie and any season of Discovery it becomes science 2.0. Dr. Noor debunks a Sista's "in the year 2525" theory, explains the difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering, and confirms that if there one thing we never have to worry about it's an attack of giant ants.

We come to the end of the Falcon's story. And, while the Sistas are okay with "a Black man carrying the Stars and Stripes" they are split on the new costume. Yvette and Tamia won't give Bucky a break about that phone call, and everybody is so done, done, done with Karli, that J.D. must explain Marvel's lack of villain back stories. And despite the plunging helicopters, falling armored cars, and well, fighting, fighting, and more fighting, Subrina finds her first Marvel Easter Egg. Yes, we can say that J.D. has completed her mission – the SyFy Sistas are now good with the MCU. Bring on the Multiverse!

Our Trek Geeks colleague and founder of Esther’s Echo, Matthew Cimone, drops by to share with the Sistas his important charity and how we can all donate. Esther Kanu is a leader. Esther is a survivor. After experiencing the horrors of female genital mutilation, poverty, forced marriage, and war, she dedicated herself to a mission: that no young woman in Sierra Leone should have to face the life Esther had. And with that mission, in the middle of a civil war, Esther started a school called the Women in Action Development Project designed to provide young women and girls in Sierra Leone with an opportunity to go to school, learn trade skills, and find employment. Over two decades later, her school is still in operation, surviving past the civil war to help reintegrate a whole generation of youth who grew up in the middle of conflict. Esther's school now has an annual enrollment of 250 girls and nearly a thousand graduates, some of whom have returned as teachers.

Far Beyond the Stars, one of the most celebrated episodes in the Star Trek franchise, was written by one of the most creative, thought-provoking, and prolific tv science fiction writers of our time, Marc Scott Zicree.

But Marc told us we could ask him anything, so we touched on the state of science fiction tv today, writing for tv verses films, and what’s coming out of his very own production studio.

| 28 May 2021 | 013 - Recap of The Sam and Bucky Show - Episode 2 | 00:49:10 | |
The Sistas react viscerally to the happenings in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier #102. While Tamia does her best to keep the discussion on track and J.D. drops more incredible Easter Eggs, Yvette takes us to the Lord of the Rings, Subrina makes a temporal incursion to Episode 3, Fran is clear about where she stands on John Walker, and we ALL have something to say about Lemar. From competitive therapy to secret experiments on Black G.I.s this episode from Marvel Studios churns up some serious stuff...and we loved it. Plus, try to guess which one of the Sistas brings the whole discourse back to Star Trek this week.

The Sistas welcomed the Founder & CEO of Taking Up Space, Czarina Salido, to the show. This Special defintely shines a light on the non-profit BUT it quickly turned into a conversation between 5 grown women nerding out. We covered Alien Conspiracies, Ghosts, mothers and grandfather, little girls in STE(A)M and of course; Sci-Fi. Taking Up Space is a non-profit dedicated to increasing Native American representation and decreasing the gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. They empower middle-school-aged Native American girls to develop and pursue their curiosity, passion, and confidence in STEM by providing an intensive 36-week colloquium and sponsoring their trip to NASA’s Space Camp in Huntsville, AL.

| 22 Oct 2021 | 022 - Collecting 101 with The Divine Treasury | 01:20:40 | |
It’s our first Trek Geeks Crossover Show with the Divine Treasury. The fun we have with our Fandom Friday social media posts on the Muthaship group page made the Sistas curious about collecting. So, we decided to go to the pros, Mike Bovia and Jamie Rogers, host of our sister show The Divine Treasury, for an overview on collecting. Jamie gives us critical intel on how to start (go with your passion), where to go for valuations (eBay is your friend), and how to take care of your hoard (don’t skimp). From cards, to films, to action figures, to comic books, we run through it all. What the Sistas know is that collectors are diverse and collecting is rather personal. But what we discover is that collecting is another way to connect to the Star Trek community. Hunting for items is like a quest and you can meet all sorts of people in the community willing to help you. Part of the unexpected fun of collecting is swapping stories of your quest for that item that completes your collection. And wow, does Jamie have great stories! Here are the links we mention in the show: https://exo-6.com/ Museum grade Star Trek Figurines https://wixiban.com/ For all things about cards https://fansets.com/collections/star-trek Our sponsor Fansets for all things about pins You can find Mike and Jamie’s cool podcast here: Send them a tweet and say the SyFy Sistas sent you: https://twitter.com/divine_treasury We give a special shout out to our sound engineer DoS, the Anonymous.

Writer, Director, Producer, and Screenwriter launches his new novel The Silent Planet The Sistas sit down with Subrina's mentor, New York Film Academy screenwriting instructor Paul J. Salamoff, to talk about his new sci-fi novel The Silent Planet, described as Solaris meets Jurassic Park. This interview is a gift as Paul drops all sorts of wisdom from writing with a theme, to how to take a note, to the inspiration of collaboration. After over 30 years in Hollywood, Paul has a story about everybody and everything. Hear how two lines of dialogue can make a film, or that time he interviewed Steven Spielberg. Paul doesn't believe in the 'tortured writer', but Subrina believes there was a slightly tortured Sista in NYFA's Screenwriting course that year. Buy The Silent Planet by Paul J.

It happened in Vegas, and we are going to spill the tea. The SyFy Sistas have never laughed as hard as we did with everyone's favorite Discovery Season 3 cast member, Noah Averbach-Katz. The Son of Rachelle, while living a Trekkie's ultimate dream, earned his spot on the cast with his Julliard training, those super expressive eyes, and some good old-fashioned schmoozing. Noah gets silly and serious, and even makes a 'beta-canon logical' call on a burning question. We give a special shout out to our sound engineer DoS, the Anonymous.

The Sistas discuss the impact of the 1997 TV movie Cinderella, starring Brandy Norwood and Whitney Houston, on multiple generations of Black women. The beauty of diversity is the main theme of this memorable TV event. Did the Whitney Houston production of this classic fairy tale with its color-blind cast help lay the foundation for Black leading ladies to come? We draw a line from Brandy's Princess Throne to Burnham's Captain's chair and ask, "Do science fiction and fantasy productions of today do 'color-blind' as well as this 1997 gem?
