Sci-Fi Reality Check - Strange New Worlds: Lost in Translation (S2E6)

SPOILER ALERT!

Communications specialist Beth Johnson and planetary astronomer Franck Marchis are back to over-analyze the science of Star Trek! This episode examines Strange New Worlds, season two, episode six. Beth and Franck chat about deuterium, star-forming nebula, and lessons in communicating with new species.

From startrek.com: "In "Lost in Translation," Uhura seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound. When the noise triggers terrifying hallucinations, she enlists an unlikely assistant to help her track down the source."
