    STRANGE NEW WORLDS' third season comes to a close with "New Life and New Civilizations" and Batal's transcendence into a fountain. The Jerks discuss how Pike and Batal went to "It's Even More Complicated" on their Spacebook relationship status. Plus, more queerbaiting with Kirk and Spock's "first date."


    Then, we dive deep into how BABYLON 5 handles destiny better than most sci-fi franchises, including STAR TREK.
