In this episode of Talking Trek, we discuss Kirk going native as the Enterprise crew encounters a planet imitating 1920s Chicago in "A Piece of the Action". A lot of silliness and commitment to the bit ensues, as we have Chris Dole (Arden, My Big Score) back on the pod to get a piece of THIS action.

What if "Arena" was even more horny? This is the bold question "The Gamesters of Triskelion" asks, with its pop art visuals, constant barrage of stuff happening, and questionable script. David Bednar joins us in discussing an episode that has some of the best and worst Star Trek has to offer all in one package.…

This week, Montgomery Scott is accused of murder, but the real killer is the voice of Piglet is possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper. Naturally the only solution is for everyone to get REALLY high. Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marin return to discuss the chaotic, unfortunately sexist, yet also undeniably fun "Wolf in the Fold"!…

The Deadly Years (with Rachel Bernstein) 55:36

It's time to tackle the horros of ageing - or at least the horrors of old-age makeup - as The Deadly Years hoves into view. And along to cope with all that latex (not as fun as it sounds) is Rachel Novak! How effective is the attempts to age up our crew? Does the episode do anything with its central premise? And just how off-handed is the ending? Plus in Recommendations we have an animated TV show and two non-animated TV shows. Which is nice. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou Bluesky: talkingtrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

Trade agreement required? Check. Savage local population causing trouble? Check. Lone Klingon making things worse? Check. Dumbest "ruse" in Starfleet history? Check. Why it must be Friday's Child! And to deal with a trade mission that needs all the help it can get, Dais Johnston is along for the ride! Does the episode stand up to modern television in its approach to (let's say) feminism? Do we manage to get a convincing alien society? How much purple fur can one planet need? Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows and a movie. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com The sad, shattered remains of Twitter / X: @talktrektoyou Bluesky: talkingtrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...
