Talking Trek To You

What Are Little Girls Made Of? (with Kris Koeser)

This week we poder the questions What Are Little Girls Made Of? Although, we also ponder the question of what drove anyone to design the fashions in this episode, how low anyone can survive on the surface of a planet, and whether Shatner can out-act... er, Shatner. And to help us along we have some familial assistance, in the shape of Kev's brother Kris! Plus in Recommendations we have an animated show, the return of an old classic, and a sitcom.

Mudd’s Women (with Michael Chau)

Oh good, comedy in a Star Trek episode (said nobody ever)! It's the first of two encounters with Harry Mudd this episode, and Kev and JG get to grips with the lovable scamp (it says here) and all he brings to the table. And this week they're joined by Michael Chau, who's along to help sort through all this... stuff. How successful is the western-in-space conceit? Is it an episode whose progressiveness stands the test of time? (Hint: no) And who's defending William Shatner's acting this epsiode? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV drama and two movies.

The Enemy Within (with Abby Waysdorf)

Roll up, roll up, come and get 'em! Two Shatners for the price of one! While stocks last! Yes, it's the debut of the transporter accident on TTTY, as Kev and JG tackle The Enemy Within.
How Shatner-y can Evil Kirk get? Just how uncomfortable can one episode become? And how does fanfic play into the discussion? Helping tackle Multiple Shatners with our regular crew is Abby Waysdorf. Plus we have our Recommendations section, covering this week a band, a comedian and a TV show.

The Naked Time (with Rachel Novak)

We return to the first season of TOS after the last episode's diversion with The Naked Time. Yes, it's time for the crew to lose all their inhibitions and listen to one really, REALLY annoying ballad while Scotty cannae change the laws o'physics. Lovely. To help Kev and JG on their exploration of infectious diseases and randomly-invented time-travel, Rachel Novak drops by to lend a hand. How does the episode handle the lowering of those inhibitions? Why so much discussion of the miniskirt? And just how long CAN George Takei keep his shirt off for? Plus in Recommendations we have an author, a TV series and a game.

Strange New Worlds: Season 1 (With Ellie Warren)

We take a temporary leave of absense from the classic series this week and dive into the first season of the era-adjescant Strange New Worlds. And to help Kev and JG tackle a whole season of TV we have this week's guest, Ellie Warren! The format of this episode is slightly different, with each host taking one character each to discuss in-depth, and then each picking a favourite episode from the season. Which characters will get chosen? Which episode show off the very best of Strange New Worlds? And how has the show panned out overall, given this isn't exactly the first time Star Trek has returned to the era of TOS?
