Talking Trek To You

The Conscience of the King (with Alice Ebenhoe)

It's time for something a little classical and fruity this time on Talking Trek, as JG and Kev tackle The Conscience of the King with Alice Ebenhoe along for the performance.
Do Shakespeare and space mix? Just how melodramatic can things get? And how satisfactory is "she's mad" as an episode ending? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV drama, a movie and a sitcom.

The Menagerie (Pt 1 and 2) (with Paul Coughlan)

This episode we tackle TOS's only two-parater as JG and Kev take a stroll around "The Menagerie", with the help of Paul Coughlan!
How does the two-part framing device work? Do we REALLY believe Spock is going to betray all he stands for? And how does the original footage from The Cage compare to the newer footage shot around it? Plus in Recommendations we have an Apple TV show, an audio drama and a BBC TV show.

The Corbomite Manoeuvre (with Andrew Deacon)

It's one of the classics this episode as Kev and JG tackle "The Corbomite Manoeuvre". And beaming over from JG's other podcast, Beatles Stuffology, is Andrew Deacon to help them get to the bottom of things. Does the episode stand the test of time? How are the utility players? And is Clint Howard really freaky? Plus in Recommendations we have a 70's movie, an MCU TV series and a Star Wars TV series.

Dagger of the Mind (with Carl Garcia)

It's time to sharpen both our blades and our brains as we confront "Dagger of the Mind". What does the episode have to say about the criminal justice system, if anything? How does the depiction of madness work out? And does the episode live up to the show's progressive values? To help Kev and JG along, this week they are joined by Carl Garceia! Plus in Recommendations we have two movies and a TV show.

Miri (with Jon D. Arthur)

We turn our attention to Miri this week, as we deal with the most wonderful thing on Star Trek of all - cough - child actors! Just how soon does the episode get icky? Does it stand the test of time even given the era in which it was made? And as Yeoman Rand's last substantial part, how does she and Grace Lee Whitney fare? Joining us for all the uncomfortable moments - and then some - we have our guest this week, Jon D. Arthur! Plus in Recommendations we have a podcast, a movie and a book.
