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.

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.

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.

Think Good Thoughts: A Redemptive Review Of Star Trek: Voyager by JG McQuarrie Vol 1 and Vol 2

Thursday Sep 22, 2022

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.
