134 Resistance Is Futile

134 Resistance Is Futile

Kimberly and Cara take a Borg catchphrase apart at the roots and find a two-sided coin underneath. "Resistance is futile" starts as Star Trek menace, then flips: Geordi nurtures a cut-off baby Borg into its own personality, and suddenly the lesson is that resisting itself can be powerful. From there the real question shows up - when is fighting a waste of your energy, and when is it the whole game? The answer takes them from Douglas Adams to the PWHL expansion draft (where fans are pure spectators watching their favorite players get cherry-picked away) to a casino floor and the biggest country-western bar in Atlanta.

The "Is It Just Me?" segment goes two ways this week. First Kimberly wonders how alien species in sci-fi ever built spaceships without thumbs. Then Cara asks the one that lands closer to home: does everyone's brain chase rabbits like this, or is it just us? What follows is a warm, science-nerdy ramble through tangents, neuroplasticity, and a brand-new term for the heightened awareness that hard things leave behind.

Plus: a teddy-bear wrestler named Tex, the "right face" that lets you say anything to anyone, and a fortune cookie that really should try harder.
