We go from very serious to sci-fi romp this week on SSHB! First up: a member of a genderless race falls for Riker and admits she identifies as female, which is seen as an illness on her world, in "The Outcast". After that, it's "Groundhog Day" in space - and predating the movie, in fact - as the "Enterprise" keeps getting sh*tmixed in "Cause and Effect"! Also this week: belated Christmas, Jake bores us with math, and Chris bores us with starship trivia. Content warning: discussion of gay conversion therapy, homophobia, and transphobia.
