Sarek! Jasmin joins us for the official start of the Star Trek Cinematic Universe, where we get our first official crossover from the original series! Sarek's back! But not in pog form! Instead, he's a metaphor for old age and Alzheimer's! Oh no! Also, Jasmin wanted to point out that Sarek's failing mental state happened to parallel the mental decline of Gene Roddenberry around the time of airing, but she didn't get a chance to mention that in the actual discussion, so she's including it here now, yay!
