All Our Yesterdays Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

The Enterprise arrives at the planet Sarpeidon which is about to be destroyed by a supernova. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to investigate and are trapped in a planet's distant past--where Kirk is accused of being a witch and Spock finds love (or something) with an exiled woman.

We'll discuss why we love this episode despite its obvious quirks and plot holes. Where does Spock think he's going to get seeds? Why doesn't McCoy regress? And what the hell happens to that cart once it goes through the Atavachron portal, anyway?

Join Bill & Dan for All Our Yesterdays, this week on The Flagship!

This week, Bill is having his wisdom teeth out so, in lieu of a brand new episode, we're sharing one of our favorite early conversations on Trek Geeks!

In 2015, we were insanely lucky to have Nana Visitor from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on the podcast to discuss creating the Kira character, women and the Star Trek Universe, how DS9 has held up over time, how a new generation of fans is discovering the series, and even a little Friday the 13th talk!

We hope you'll enjoy this Best of Trek Geeks episode--or enjoy it again! We'll be back with new episodes soon!

Best Laid Plans Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

To say we've been getting excited for Las Vegas and the 55 Year Mission Tour convention would be a vast understatement. As recently as a few days ago, we were preparing to make our trip to the desert.

...and then we changed our plans.

This week, we pre-empt our planned episode on The Royale to discuss the decision to cancel FanGeeks Party 2021 and our trip to Las Vegas in the wake of the Delta Variant.

Plus, we'll be joined by Lew Halboth from FanSets to discuss why they are still going to Vegas and what you can expect to see from them for new releases! Oh, and listen for an impromptu giveaway of a huge assortment of FanSets pins, too!

And if you thought we wouldn't have the last of our "How to Vegas" series with Ron Wrobel, you'd be wrong! We'll talk about what to do once you get there--just keep in mind it was recorded before our decision.

We hope everyone travelling to Vegas stays safe and healthy. Enjoy yourselves and look out for one another, because we'll sure miss you!
