Talking Trek To You

The Trouble With Tribbles (w/ Alasdair Wilkins)

Alasdair Wilkins is back on the Klingon beat, as they join Kev and Carl in discussing the seminal episode "The Trouble with Tribbles".
 
Join us as we talk about one of the best comedy episodes the show has done, all the great character moments, and more!

Wolf in the Fold (w/ Abbie Phelps + Natalie Marin)

This week, Montgomery Scott is accused of murder, but the real killer is the voice of Piglet is possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper. Naturally the only solution is for everyone to get REALLY high.
 
Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marin return to discuss the chaotic, unfortunately sexist, yet also undeniably fun "Wolf in the Fold"!

Obsession (w/ Matt Fink)

Talking Trek is back! While JG had to step away from the pod (we wish him well!) we have a new co-host in previous guest Carl Garcia.
This episode, Matt Fink joins us for his outside of Trek perspective on "Obsession". Listen to us talk about introducing people to Trek, a vampiric energy cloud, a great showing from Nurse Chapel, and once again Shatner killing it.

The Deadly Years (with Rachel Bernstein)

It's time to tackle the horros of ageing - or at least the horrors of old-age makeup - as The Deadly Years hoves into view.  And along to cope with all that latex (not as fun as it sounds) is Rachel Novak!
How effective is the attempts to age up our crew? Does the episode do anything with its central premise? And just how off-handed is the ending? Plus in Recommendations we have an animated TV show and two non-animated TV shows. Which is nice.

Friday's Child (with Dais Johnston)

Trade agreement required? Check. Savage local population causing trouble? Check. Lone Klingon making things worse? Check. Dumbest "ruse" in Starfleet history? Check. Why it must be Friday's Child! And to deal with a trade mission that needs all the help it can get, Dais Johnston is along for the ride!
Does the episode stand up to modern television in its approach to (let's say) feminism? Do we manage to get a convincing alien society? How much purple fur can one planet need?
Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows and a movie.
