Just the characters and who they really are when everything else is stripped away. The SyFy Sistas each bring some of their favorite cave episodes and make their case.

Woke Since 1966

Fran and Tamia are taking the word back. Before it was weaponized, "woke" had roots — Black American roots. In this episode the Sistas trace the word's origins, its appropriation, and then prove what Trek fans already know — Star Trek has been unapologetically woke since 1966. From the classic episodes you already know to the unsung gems you may have missed. 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6!
