Talking Trek To You

Devil In The Dark (with Tony Whitt)

It's another one of the all-time classics this week, as JG and Kev are forced to confront The Devil In The Dark. And to guide them through the gloom, Tony Whitt is along to help navigate those treacherous mining tunnels!
Does the episode deserve its reputation as one of the very best? Why, of all things, does Into Darkness get some kind of defence? And just how many pizza jokes can there be in one episode? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie, a TV musical and a TV anthology show.

This Side of Paradise (with William McKenna)

We explore This Side Of Paradise on Talking Trek this week as Kev and JG take a wander amongst the spores. But surviving such an environment requires help so this week's gest, William McKenna, is along for the ride. Or should that be trip?  
How does the episode deal with the strange conflict at the heart of it? Does it manage to deal with the devlopment of Spock successfully? And can William Shatner continue to land the comedy?
Plus in Recommendations we have a different branch of the franchise, some black and white shorts and a different space opera show.

A Taste of Armageddon (with Rachel S. Bernstein)

It's time to sample A Taste Of Armageddon this episode as Kev and JG face a "humane" war. But, unable to tackle such a conflict alone, Rachel S. Bernstein is along for the journey.
How does the episode deal with its approach to pacificsm? Is this a progressive story or does the desire for Kirk to be Always Right overwhelm things? And how does it fit in with history a la 1967? Plus in Recommendations we have a novel and two movies.

Space Seed (with Matt Fink)

There are classics and then... there's Khan! Yes, putting in his first appearace - shiny go-go boy outfit and all - it's time to welcome the apparently-unstoppable influence of everyone's favourite genocidal loony to Star Trek as Kev and JG tackle Space Seed. But dealing with a monster (well, "monster") of Khan's stature requires help so Matt Fink is along for the ride!  
Can Khan convince as a conniving dictator or is it time to can the Khan?  Does Space Seed deserve to be remembered as an episode in its own right, away from it's future influence on the franchise (and just how progressive does it turn out to be anyway?)? And is Ricardo Montalbán able to hold all of this together?
Plus in Recommendatrions we have a book, a book series, and an unexpected TV show.

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.
