It's time to get mind wiped and/or killed and ressurected on Talking Trek this episode as we cover The Changeling! And resisting such a serious (it says here) probe will need help so it's a welcome return to Jonathan Boehle!
How does the old Uhura-mind-wipe stand up? Does the alien-probe-from-beyond storyline convince? And just how much damage can the Enterprise legitimately withstand? Plus in Recommendations we have two movies and a book.

A giant green hand has the podcast in its grip this time, as we tackle the... um, iconic? Sure let's go with that! The iconic "Who Mourns For Adoanis?". But wrestling with gods requires a mighty hero, so Michael Darling is on hand to help!  
How do the effects hold up so long after the 60s and does the Giant Green Hand (tm) deserve to be remembered? Why is there a discussion of money within the Federation? And is the episode a classic or a "classic"? Plus in Recommendations we have not one, not two, but (techincally) three video games and some anime.

We leave behind the strange new worlds of old and embrace, instead, the strange new worlds of today as JG and Kev cover the second season of Strange New Worlds. And to help with the task of discussing all ten episodes of the season Rachel Novak is warmly welcomed back to the podcast.
Does the second season manage to live up to the promise of the first? Is ten episodes enough to give every character a decent shake of the stick? Why does The Wrath of Khan come in for criticism? And of course, how do the Two Big Epsiodes, the Lower Decks crossover and the musical, fare and do they live up to the hype?
No recommendations this week - this was more than enough to be going on with!

We dive headfirst into the second season of the original show as we get to grips - in more ways than one - with the might Amok Time. But we can't wrestle this one into submission alone so we welcome Ellie Warren back to the podcast!
Does the episode retain its power after all these years? Just how much homo-eroticism can be - cough - squeezed into one episode? And does Amok Time deserve its legendary status?
Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows - of very different types - and a movie.

We take a break from individual episodes for a retrospective on the whole of the first season, as JG and Kev discuss the mission so far. No guests this week either - it's just our bold hosts getting into things!
How has the season stacked up? Have the budget and scripts been able to keep pace with the ideas? And a third of the way through, has it all been worth it?
Plus in Recommendations we have a beloved but cancelled TV show and a drama from the 2010s.
