Trek Table hosts Alison De La Cruz, Claudia Alick, and Maia Mills Low are joined by guests, Jadie Jang and Latisha Jones. Together, they celebrate the various duets this episode, including Burnham/Rillak, Adira/Reno, Adira/Detmer, Book/Tarka, T'rina/ N'Doye, Saru/T-rina and others.

Premiered on January 2, 2022 Trek Table Hosts Claudia Alick, Alison De La Cruz, and Maia Mills-Low welcome back special guest Rose Portillo as they dive deep into Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Mid-Season Finale, "But To Connect". Thematically, we'll explore Zora's sentience validation journey, the Federation DMA gathering, and the consideration of intention vs impact when determining a just response to egregious harm by an unknown species.
This special 'Holidaze' edition of Trek Table was pre-recorded and not livestreamed in front of a live digital audience, as per our usual practice, in order to offer the crew a shortened work week to enjoy more holiday weekend time with family and friends. As such, this episode was produced with none of the regular pre-show meetings or script preparation. Hence, the hosts refer to this show as "Trek Table unprepped"
Trek Table is (usually) a livestream ritual holding Trek Space for Black, Indigenous, Brown, Women of Color (Queer or otherwise) and our Allies. We welcome Trek heads, newbies, generational Star Trek families, the sci-fi curious, and all the evolving identities surrounding Trekdom to explore, celebrate, and dive deep into Star Trek Discovery.

** PUENTES SONOROS **
Puentes Sonoros (Sonic Bridges) is the new album of our favorite band -- the Grammy-winning East L.A. band QUETZAL. These musicians stand at the center of transnational and transformative son jarocho practice, bridging rural life of Veracruz, Mexico, and contemporary Chicano sensibilities of urban struggle for freedom and self-determination. The strumming of traditional strings and percussive zapateado blend purposefully with Afro-diasporic R&B and batá, drawing from cultural roots to craft echoes of the future.
