Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

217: Star Trek Starfleet Academy, “Series Acclimation Mil”
Q: What did you think about this episode?
I liked it a lot but did not love it as much as the previous episode, mostly because it didn't hit my expectations initially.
193: Star Trek TOS Season 2, “Return to Tomorrow”
Q: Did this one land better or worse than some of the other similar moments we've had?
Yes, these are super powerful beings, but they were constrained in a very unique way that they haven't done before.
149: Star Trek TOS Season 1, “Balance of Terror"
Q: How did you find the balance between the big picture and personal storylines in Balance of Terror?
The episode expertly balances the cat and mouse scenario between the two captains while exploring personal conflicts, such as Stiles' bias against Romulans and Spock's recognition of their lineage to Vulcans.
152: Star Trek TOS Season 1, “Miri"
Q: How did you feel about the representation of the relationship here?
I thought overall it was great, but there was one moment where it was kind of like the casual racism coming off of Bones was a little like, what?
153: Star Trek TOS Season 1, "The Conscience of the King"
Q: Would you recommend this episode to another viewer who's never seen it before?
If you're trying to be a completionist and see all Star Trek, yeah. If you're just trying to find the best ones, no. Say, skip it.
