EPISODE 011

Is the fandom finally ready for a Sista in the Seat?
A Black female lead on the bridge is an idea that sent a vocal minority of Star Trek fans into a feedback loop. But relax, because Michael Burnham is really our hero, James T. Kirk!  

From a Sista in the Seat to a Brother with the Shield, J.D. leads Fran, Subrina, Tamia, and Yvette into a deep discussion covering DC vs. Marvel comics, code-switching, big sisters and little brothers, and all sorts of Marvel Easter eggs.  It isn’t Star Trek, but trust them to get it in somehow.

The Sistas react viscerally to the Falcon and the Winter Soldier #102. Tamia does her best to keep the discussion on track, J.D. drops more Easter Eggs, Yvette goes to Lord of the Rings, Subrina makes a temporal incursion to Episode 3, Fran is clear about Walker, and we ALL wonder about Lemar. 

Things get real in “Power Broker” as Sam and Bucky are involved in a jailbreak and spy antics in the search for Karli, the Angry Child. We discuss poor Bucky’s reprise as the Winter Soldier.    Evil Madripoor, wicked sartorial choices, and a killer cameo round out  Episode 3.  

The Sistas ask: Can you be a superhero without being super? Yvette keeps it real, deconstructing the dilemma of lost people. It's back to the everyday with a Tina Fey reference, snatching Lemar's Black Card, and Tom Hanks (?). Tamia wants more on the Blip,  J.D. sees the human side of John Walker.

We come to the end of Falcon's story. The Sistas are okay with "a Black man carrying the Stars and Stripes" but they are split on the new costume. Yvette and Tamia won't give Bucky a break about that phone call, and everybody is so done with Karli.  Subrina finds a Marvel Easter Egg! J.D. you did it
