49: Would Lady Kirk Wear a Miniskirt? Jan 01, 2017

Show notes

We gender-bend TOS, asking how would it have been different if the creators had cast women in the men's roles and vice versa. Would Captain Kirk have behaved differently? Would Mudd have existed? And what 1960s actors would have been best in each role?

45: "Lower Decks" Nov 06, 2016

Show notes

In the TNG episode "Lower Decks," we see what life is like for junior officers on the Enterprise, the relationships they have with each other and their commanding officers, and understand what it's like to be left in the dark during a dangerous mission. The crew takes a look at this fan-favorite episode and discusses these relationship and mentoring styles, Sito Jaxa's impact on Trek fandom, and Lavelle's terrible small talk.
