Kirk as captain.
Among Starfleet captains, Kirk certainly had his own style. Were the long-term effects considered during the decision-making process, or were they off-the-cuff style decisions? How was the crew affected by the choices of one person ... more

Standard orbit still one of my favorite podcasts
On a previous review, I said the hosts needed to get back to talking about the 1960s series. Since then they have done so, so I'm giving another star. It's decent conversation and I am really glad they are going deeper into original episodes that don't get talked about much, like the last episode on Peice of the Action, my favorite comedy episode of the original.
Love this podcast! The insightful discussion by each of the hosts has really made me see the series and each of the episodes in entirely new ways. It’s almost like watching them for the first time! Thanks to Ken, Hayley and Zach for the tremendous time and efforts they put into this show. I can’t wait for the next episode to drop!
The most wonderful part of the Star Trek experience is belonging to a community of intellectuals. Which leaves one to (logically) question, what is Hayley doing here? It’s not only that she lacks insight or cogent thoughts, it is also that she seems to not do her homework. She talks about the topic without the extra knowledge (forgets the scene, hasn’t read the novel, etc...). Her thoughts meander and are punctuated only by inane cackling. Uhh like yeah ya know, hard to listen to.
This has been a great show for a long time and the dynamic is what makes it. The addition of Haley has put it over the top. Keep it up guys!
