    Trek Marry Kill

    There are 967 episodes of Star Trek. Some are good, some are great, and the rest we’ll still watch from time to time because, why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it’s bad, it’s still kinda good. 

    It’s a Star Trek podcast that seeks to establish the pecking order for its extensive canon. Which episodes are classic examples of Star Trek or simply good (TREK), which are all-timers (MARRY), and which are episodes that are okay to watch just once and then forget about (KILL)? 

    Hosts Bryan and Kristen and the occasional special guest ask a series of questions to arrive at a final judgment, questions like, “What part of this story would be taught at Starfleet Academy?” “What’s the Best Trek Trope?” “Could the episode have been hornier and would that have made it better?” and many more. It’s sort of like playing F***, Marry, Kill, but a lot more fun because it’s about Star Trek!

    We’re trekmarrykpod on Instagram and Bluesky, and www.trekmarrykillpod.com on the web where you can see all of our standings.

    BREAKING BAD ACCENTS. Jean-Luc Picard couldn't save all the Romulans so he opted to save none of them. Does the attempt to turn the character into a classic 21st century antihero succeed or are Bryan and Kristen too distracted by both the intentionally bad and the accidentally bad accent work throughout the series?

    The grades begin at (24:27).

    PIC: "Maps and Legends" & "The End is the Beginning" (s1e2-3) Mar 04, 2025
    Show notes

    PADDING THE RUNTIME. It's been five years since the premiere of Star Trek: Picard and the first season was a bumpy ride for all involved. Patrick Stewart trying to capture Jean-Luc Picard at a different point in his life. A host of executives, producers, and writers being largely unfamiliar with the character or episodic TV; and a first-time showrunner trying to figure out how to pace out an incomplete story. Bryan & Kristen revisit this experiment in brand extension to see how well it's held up.

    The grades begin at (20:55).

    Star Trek: Picard - "Remembrance" Fifth Anniversary Reissue Mar 04, 2025
    Show notes

    It's been five years since the first season of Star Trek: Picard concluded, and here in the month of March, Bryan & Kristen will be revisiting the episodes they didn't get to when they first kicked off coverage of the series. Back in 2022, Trek Marry Kill began by grading all the live action pilots, including Picard. We were joined by Hector Navarro from YouTube's Heroes Reforged, so rather than make you search through your feed for it in order to sync up with our new episodes this month that will complete season one -- here it is refreshed!

    LD: "Grounded" & "The Least Dangerous Game" (s3e1-2) with Katie Hampton Mar 01, 2025
    Show notes

    PARK AND RECREATIONS. This month's animated spotlight judges the kickoff of Star Trek: Lower Decks' third season, which include a pair of episodes that pay homage to iconic moments from throughout the franchise. One *could* say that about every episode of Lower Decks -- do Bryan and Katie do that? You'll just have to listen.

    The grades begin at (15:09). Jump right to "The Least Dangerous Game" at (41:27).

    TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome" (s3e3) Feb 25, 2025
    Show notes

    KIRK'S UNPLANNED VACATION. An alien obelisk gives Captain Kirk amnesia and strands him among indigenous people transported from Earth to an alien planet in the direct path of a world-ending asteroid. Our Inner Light Month concludes with this look at Kirk basically getting a chance at a normal life but still becoming the captain of a tribe. Is it a TREK, MARRY, or KILL?

    The grades begin at (15:49).

    ENT: "Carbon Creek" (s2e2) with Jamie, Bill, and Maria from Enterprisesplaining Feb 18, 2025
    Show notes

    A GOOD STORY? That's not something Bryan and his trio of guest co-hosts expected from Star Trek: Enterprise here during Inner Lights month. Jamie, Bill, and Maria have their own show where they explain episodes of Enterprise to one another, and for "Carbon Creek," they're doing a bit of a swap with Trek Marry Kill -- look for Bryan to appear on their show in April.

    You can listen to Enterprisesplaining here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprisesplaining/id1733657074

    The grades for this one begin at (39:47).

    DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars" (s6e13) Feb 11, 2025
    Show notes

    HOPE AND DESPAIR walk hand and hand, but that's not the only lesson to be learned from a classic episode of Star Trek and Deep Space Nine. From a technical standpoint, the Star Trek format is malleable and elastic if the story has a point, and the story can be about anything if there's meaningful characterization. But! Is this episode a TREK, MARRY, or KILL? Bryan and Shereese investigate as our Inner Lights theme month continues.

    The grades begin at (33:18).

    TNG: "The Inner Light" (s5e25) with Michael Baumann of FanGraphs and Wheelysports Feb 04, 2025
    Show notes

    A FLUTE OCCURRENCE. Captain Picard gets zapped into a simulation where he must live out a whole other life as a man on a dying planet. It turns out this has a profound effect on the captain of the Federation flagship, but it's something the franchise barely revisited after what many consider to be the show's finest hour. Do Bryan and guest co-host Michael Baumann agree?

    The grades begin at (29:03).
