Second Contact: Space Bermuda Triangle!
09/04/2026 | 57 mins.
This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting the Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 26 “The Expanse,” now that Maria and Jamie have watched it and have a lot of thoughts on the 9/11 allusions that were a huge part of this episode.
We also discuss this lovely print by artist Amir Abou-Roumié, which Maria had on her wall for years without realizing it contained a spoiler for this episode.
A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Space Bermuda Triangle!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.
We now have merch! Show your love for EnterpriseSplaining and the cutest beagle ever with a Porthos Appreciation Society shirt!
EnterpriseSplaining is proud to be part of the ESO Network.
The show is produced by K.O. Myers at Particulate Media

Space Bermuda Triangle!
02/04/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 26 “The Expanse,” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. It’s the end of the second season of Enterprise and it’s a disaster! On Earth, we mean! A mysterious new race attacks the earth, and it’s up to the NX-01 crew to head into Space Bermuda Triangle (or Spermuda, if you will) to exact revenge in the name of great justice! Meanwhile T’pol considers if risking being turned inside-out is worse than going back to her Vulcan fiance, Trip gets the bloodlust, and Duras has a very, very bad day.
Rikermendations:
Jamie: Rehash podcast
Maria: Thursday Murder Club books
Bill: Marrying Mister Darcy card game

Second Contact: What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon! (feat. Jarrah from Women at Warp)
26/03/2026 | 1h
This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 25 “Bounty,” now that Maria and Bill have watched it. Plus, our guest from last week, Jarrah from the Women at Warp podcast, is back with us to talk about this episode, which seems to consist mostly of T’Pol writhing around on the ground and walls. We also discuss in depth every baffling part of this screencap of Trip’s bookshelf.
A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

What Happens in Decon Stays in Decon! (feat. Jarrah from Women at Warp)
19/03/2026 | 2h 5 mins.
We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 25 “Bounty,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. Jarrah from Women at Warp is back with us this week to discuss this episode that involves T'Pol going through pon farr, which for some reason mostly seems to involve rubbing her body on every wall. Also, perpetual damsel-in-distress Archer is kidnapped again, which may seem familiar since it happens in every third episode of Enterprise (seriously -- we checked!).
Mentioned: The Women at Warp episode that inspired our “Where is HR?” segment is called “Labor Standards in Star Trek”
Rikermendations
Jarrah: Heated Rivalry
Maria: Roofman
Bill: Cult of the Lamb
Jamie: Persimmons

Second Contact: The Wrong Stuff! (feat. Nicole Gugliucci)
12/03/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 24 “First Flight,” now that Jamie and Bill have watched it. Plus, astronomer Nicole Gugliucci joins us once again to see if watching the episode can help her make the dark matter make sense. A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “The Wrong Stuff!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

About EnterpriseSplaining

EnterpriseSplaining - The podcast where we try to explain Star Trek: Enterprise to each other! We are bewildered by this show. We have questions - so many questions! Join Jamie, Bill, and Maria as they attempt to make sense of this 22-year-old show that represents one of the strangest chapters of Star Trek history. Haven’t watched or don’t want to watch the show? No problem! At EnterpriseSplaining, we’ll do that work for you! Every week, one of us will watch an episode and explain it to the others - or try to. No Star Trek knowledge is necessary, although it might help? Who knows. This show is weird. Listen along as we try to uncover exactly what this show was trying to accomplish and what it ended up doing. Will this podcast be useful? Probably not! Will it change the world? UNLIKELY! Will they solve all of humanity’s problems through this exercise? ALMOST DEFINITELY NO. But we’ll have fun doing it and that’s really the point.
