Talking Trek To You

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...

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 progressive...

Roll up, roll up, come and get 'em! Two Shatners for the price of one! While stocks last! Yes, it's the debut of the transporter accident on TTTY, as Kev and JG tackle The Enemy Within. How Shatner-y can Evil Kirk get? Just how uncomfortable can one episode become? And how does fanfic play into the discussion? Helping tackle Multiple Shatners with our regular crew is Abby Waysdorf. Plus we have ou...

We return to the first season of TOS after the last episode's diversion with The Naked Time. Yes, it's time for the crew to lose all their inhibitions and listen to one really, REALLY annoying ballad while Scotty cannae change the laws o'physics. Lovely. To help Kev and JG on their exploration of infectious diseases and randomly-invented time-travel, Rachel Novak drops by to lend a hand. How does...

We take a temporary leave of absense from the classic series this week and dive into the first season of the era-adjescant Strange New Worlds. And to help Kev and JG tackle a whole season of TV we have this week's guest, Ellie Warren! The format of this episode is slightly different, with each host taking one character each to discuss in-depth, and then each picking a favourite episode from the se...

It's time to tackle an annoying horny teenager (well, "teenager") with super-powers on Talking Trek To You this week, as Charlie X comes aboard. How successful is this as a portrayal of adolescance? Do the regular crew work with a whole "teenage god" premise? And what are we to make of a shirtless William Shatner in red tights? Plus in Recommendations we have a manga, an Apple TV show and a sitcom...

Having been Where No Man Has Gone Before, it's time for JG and Kev to forge forward and see if they can avoid falling into The Man Trap. How does the episode fare as a first introduction to McCoy? Does the whole "salt vampire" thing work? And how are the supporting cast? But they are not facing the plight of the last creature of its kind alone - they are joined by guest-star Dave! Plus there's Rec...

Greetings! And welcome to a brand new podcast on the original series of Star Trek, where an expert (allegedly) and a newbie (definitely) boldly work their way through the original show episode-by-episode. Normally JG and Kev have a guest every week to help them unravel the episode but this week they're tackling the pilot (second attempt) episode on their own. So we kick the podcast off with "Where...
