Episode 324: High Angle Zoomout

A Star to Steer Her By

If I had a nickel for every time an episode ended with the same kind of shot this week on SSHB, I'd only have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice. First up: continuity comes home to roost as the aftermath of past actions leads to Archer getting himself and T'Pol hostaged in "Shadows of P'Jem". After that: a character study and metanarrative collide into probably the first genuinely good episode of the series in "Shuttlepod One". Also this week: Vulcan colonialism, the Joyce/Reed conspiracy, and Nurse Chapel! [timestamps: Shadows: 01:26; One: 34:41; Chapel: 58:16] [Blog: https://www.tumblr.com/sshbpodcast/733454694861701120/character-spotlight-christine-chapel?source=share]
