Talking Trek To You

Return of the Archons (with Lenny Burnham)

Welcome, friends, to the podcast about Return of the Archons, and may peace be with you. Yes, it's time to tackle a number of firsts on Star Trek, with Return of the Archons and guest Lenny Burnham!
How does Star Trek's first whacking big anti-Communist screed go? Why does the episode grind to a halt about halfway through? And how convicing IS it the first time Captain Kirk defeats a computer with logic? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV series, a movie and a book.

Court Martial (with Jonathan Boehle)

It's time for Kev and JG to face a Court Martial this week, as Kirk is put on trial for the death of a crewmember. But they're not taking the stand alone , and Jonathan Boehle is along to help with the defense!
How does Star Trek take to doing a legal procedual? How screwy is the Federation legal system? And just how far wrong can one closing fight go? Plus in Recommendations we have the same TV show twice over (to be fair, it's a good one!) and, uniquely, a theme park!

Tomorrow Is Yesterday (with Sarah Gulick)

It's time for some time travel shenangians this week as Star Trek (and TTTY) head back to the 60s for the first time with Tomorrow Is Yestserday. But there's no slingshotting around the sun for just two, so this week JG and Kev are joined by Sarah Gulick!
How does the episode capture the period detail? Is there a good sense of place and time? And does the time travel plot remotely hang together? Plus in Recommendations we have three separate novels / novelists and one Netflix TV show.

Arena (with Graham Blackaby)

 
We venture into strange, possibly occupied, territory this episode as Kev and JG step into the Arena. But fortunately they're not battling alone - Graham Blackaby is along for the fight!
How does the Gorn stand up, all these years later? How effective is the introductory section on the colony? And does the morality of the episode work? Plus in Recommendations we have a 50s movie, a more contemporary film and an Amazon Prime TV show.

The Squire of Gothos (with Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marlin)

It's time for some godly comedy shenanigans on Talking Trek this episode as JG and Kev encounter The Squire Of Gothos. And along to  help deal with any  the ride are childish tantrums from super-powerful beings are Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marlin!
How does the Squire of Gothos compare to other Star Trek comedy episodes? How long does it take for JG to torpedo any remaining credibility he might have (hint: not long!)? And how well-handled are the side characters?
Plus in Recommendations we have not one, not two, but three novels!
