S1E4 “Code of Honor” (w/ Jackie Kashian)

“A racist piece of sh*t.” “A truly terrible episode.” Alice and Veronica welcome comedian and podcaster extraordinaire Jackie Kashian (Dork Forest, The Jackie and Laurie Show) on the pod to discuss an ST:TNG episode that has been called all these things and more.

They dig into the ep’s uncharacteristic cultural insensitivity and embrace of the “noble savage” trope, as well as its misguided attempt at feminist politics, while also acknowledging the role played by TNG’s actors in voicing their discontent with the episode and helping to weed out racist bullsh*t from future episodes.

Plus, Holodeck condescension, death by mitten, random body slams, dick for land negotiations, and more of Geordi's pain and Troi’s stupid lines. And there was at least one redeemable aspect of the episode that everyone could agree on—the costumes— Wesley’s sweaters included.
