Wherein Justice and Andy drill into the anthropocene by way of 2003's The Core and the 1993 episode "Forces of Nature" from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Given that we're confronted with the awesome problem of the climate crisis, we've decided to rewind the clock to look at two early versions of impending ecological disaster. Despite the radically different solutions in each of these stories, both demonstrate a shocking amount of American military hubris. How do these texts envision solutions and have we reimagined those solutions in the last thirty years? And what the hell is a laser impeller?

Wherein Andy and Justice navigate the uneven chracter arc of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher. From a whining beneficiary of nepotism to a valuable member of the bridge crew to an interdimensional cosmic entity and winding up as Wil Wheaton playing himself, we chart the many successes and failures of this character. If the enire bridge crew can endlessly play themselves in the franchise, why can't Wil Wheaton?

Carolyn McCormick was born in Midland, Texas and grew up in Houston where she went to The Kinkaid School. Upon graduating she went to Williams College where she majored in theatre and graduated with honors after directing and translating Jean Paul Sartre’s No Exit for her senior thesis. For the next four years she lived in San Francisco getting her masters degree in acting at the American Conservatory Theatre. After two years as a student she joined the main stage acting company. Her first break in film was playing Jimmy Stewart’s daughter in The Late Christoper Beane but sadly the film was shelved after Carol Burnett backed out of the film for medical reasons. Her next break was a film in Germany with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gosset JR. directed by Wolfgang Peterson, Enemy Mine. After that she joined the cast of Spenser for Hire in Boston with Robert Urich. When that show ended she hit the road with her soon to be husband Byron Jennings working all over the country doing plays across the country from the Denver Center to Baltimore’s Center Stage, Seattle Rep, The Old Globe in San Diego and Yale in New Haven, before settling down in New York city to start her family. 

     In the early 90’s she began working on Law and Order as the shrink Dr. Olivet and has played that role in every spinoff of that show over the past few decades. During that period she has relocated to LA a few times for various projects including the TV series Cracker and a TNT original film called You Know My Name with Sam Elliot, as well as Minuet Riker on Star Trek the Next Generation.

Most of her time is spent in New York City and when she is not working in film and television she is performing in theatre on and off broadway and has an active voice over career doing myriad political spots, Ken Burns documentaries and audio books, including the Hunger Games series.
