The U.S.S. Sisterhood

Marissa Garza and Lisa Garza

🚀 USS Sisterhood is your cozy starship companion through the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation — piloted by two sisters, one lifelong sci-fi fan (Marissa) and one curious newbie (Lisa), boldly going where one of them has never gone before. Each episode, Marissa and Lisa watch five episodes of TNG and return to the bridge to debrief, reminisce, and crack each other up over space whales, holodeck hijinks, and the deeper meanings of peacekeeping in a fractured galaxy. Part heartfelt sisterly banter, part nostalgic nerd-out, and part cultural time capsule, USS Sisterhood is perfect for longtime Trekkies, skeptical sci-fi dabblers, and anyone who believes in the power of story (and sibling chaos) to build a better world. 👩🏽‍🚀 Come aboard for: A rewatch from two wildly different Star Trek vantage points Tangents about '80s movies, Disney magic, and the philosophy of sci-fi A gentle refusal to gatekeep the fandom Sisterly joy, inside jokes, and the occasional off-key theme song attempt New episodes drop as time (and gravity) allow. 🖖 Until next time… make it so.

We’re back on the bridge! In this first real episode of USS Sisterhood , sisters Marissa and Lisa dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes 1 & 2, which aired as a two-part premiere called “Encounter at Farpoint.” There’s a lot to cover: courtroom chaos, space jellyfish, aggressive eye contact, and the moral ambiguity of freezing people mid-sentence. Lisa’s confused (but intrigued). Marissa’s nostalgic (but also confused). Together, they boldly go where thousands of fans have gone be...
