The episode of Beastars that we recapped this week isn’t quite as unsettling as last week’s episode. That civet cat is still off-putting and weird, but my goodness do the animators do an excellent job with Yaya’s animation. The team that animated that zebra in the noodle shop, however, can go sit in a corner and think about what they’ve done.
We really hope everyone has already watched Season 3 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, because we have an in-depth recap of episodes 1 and 2 with all the spoilers.
For a little extra flavor, we included a discussion of “Rule of Three” and “Comfort Blanket”, two podcasts which talk about the things we love and also give us fascinating information about why they work so well. Elizabeth’s also reading an excellent Naomi Novik short-story collection, and Kathryn’s reading another book in Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series, a collection of lovely little children’s adventures that have so much heartbreak embedded in the very fabric of the stories that she’s not sure if she can keep reading them. (She’s totally going to keep reading them.)

This week’s outro is a clip from Aqua by Ekilorea Sound.
Correction: Elizabeth and Kathryn (mostly Kathryn) repeatedly mispronounce the Beastar “Yaya” as “Vaya”. Sorry about that. We’re also still not 100% we’re getting Legoshi and Rouis’s pronunciations right either.
