We are EnterpriseSplaining, a comedy podcast about Star Trek: Enterprise. Each episode, one host 'splains to the others what happened.

We have faith of the heart.

Hosts: Bill, @mariadsouza.bsky.social, @uajamie.bsky.social

If you mix those reaction videos where teenagers listen to Led Zeppelin for the first time with MST3K and #startrek Enterprise, you get our podcast.
Hi new followers! Did you know I host a very silly comedy podcast about #StarTrek Enterprise called EnterpriseSplaining? Each week only 1 of us watches the episode and then tells the others what happened in it. That means you don’t have to watch or remember the show yourself to listen and enjoy it!

We need to talk about the water polo ball part. First of all, archer’s water polo ball on the NX-01 “rarely saw its intended use”??? Does this mean that it eventually will? ARE WE GOING TO SEE ARCHER PLAY WATER POLO ON THE ENTERPRISE????? (please don’t answer this for real though because spoilers)

I can’t describe how bonkers the memory alpha page for “ball” is. It gives fun ball facts such as that the football was named after the sport of football! And the basketball was named after the sport of basketball! And yes, every one of these amazing facts has a #startrek episode reference attached
On today's episode, we're on a 2nd contact mission, revisiting the ENT episode Canamar, which we realize is actually just the Star Trek version of ConAir (ConAirMar?). Also, in our Mammary Alpha segment, we learn about the absolutely bananas Memory Alpha page for “balls” (no, not THOSE balls).

In our new episode out today, Bill tells us about the #StarTrekENT episode Canamar, a ConAir ripoff (ConAirMar?) where Archer confesses he's a smuggler (GUILTY OF BEING SMUG), Trip gets stuck next to That Guy on a long flight, and while T'Pol is in charge, everyone does their jobs competently.

Man of our (faith of the) heart.
Look, I hate it, okay? But if someone says the word "Faith" in any context I will be fighting like Roger Rabbit when he hears "Shave and a haircut" not to blurt out "OF THE HEART!"

It is very important to me that more people know the theme tune to Star Trek: Enterprise was written for Rod Stewart to sing for the 1998 Robin Williams movie, Patch Adams.
Not sure what was worse: the trainer who took my gym class this morning starting the workout to the theme from Star Trek: Enterprise, or him not *knowing* it was the theme from Star Trek: Enterprise when I asked him, implying that he actually found the song by another route and LIKED it???

Listeners of our show would, of course, already know this fact along with like 100 other useless pieces of trivia about Diane Warren and the Star Trek Enterprise theme song. We are truly doing the world a service with our Diane Warren segment.

The power of Diane Warren is strong.

We released our Second Contact episode today about the #StarTrekENT episode Future Tense. Bill and Maria tell us what they thought of the not-a-tardis ship and stegasaurus time loops. Plus, we chat about the treasure trove that is the Memory Alpha page for "profanity."

New episode out today! @uajamie.bsky.social tells us about the #StarTrek ENT episode Future Tense where the Enterprise discovers a ship that can travel through time and is bigger on the inside, and yet is somehow not a Doctor Who crossover.

To answer your question about the purpose of Andorian antennae on today’s podcast episode:
Andorian antennae serve as equilibrium regulators and sensory amplifiers.

Loss of an antenna disrupts balance but regeneration occurs within nine months.

The Vulcan Science Directorate recommends to the High Command strategic targeting of antennae in combat scenarios.

New episode out today! Our guest explainer @charleskelso.bsky.social from @earthstationtrek.bsky.social tells us about the #StarTrekENT episode Cease Fire. The Vulcans and Andorians are at war, so obv Cpt Jonathan "the closest thing Starfleet has to an Ambassador" Archer is going to involve himself.

Today we released “Second Contact: Oops, I Hate It Again!,” revisiting the #startrek Enterprise episode Stigma with the help of @subspacesue.bsky.social who has a WEALTH of knowledge about why this episode exists. Plus we giggle about the memory alpha page for “naval” in our Mammary Alpha segment.

New episode out today “Oops, I Hate it Again!” about the #startrek Enterprise episode Stigma where T'Pol deals with the repercussions of the events from Fusion via clunky metaphors for HIV/AIDS. Luckily there's a Trip B-plot that almost makes up for it but not quite.

@firstflightpod.bsky.social who is the annoying character you said we were going to meet? And is it Zoumas?
