Happy 60th Anniversary, Star Trek. Join Kelvin, Christos and Amy as we celebrate by taking it all right back to where it began.  We review the first aired episode, The Man Trap, from September 8 1966.  Are creatures addicted to salt and are men in the 1960s addicted to sex?  We also take time to reflect on why we are addicted to Star Trek and chat over the most recent episodes of Strange New Worlds.

Kelvin and Ben ponder all things immigration in this episode of All Good Things.  We compare and contrast the current UK/USA approaches to legal and illegal migration, compared with the events facing the Bajorans and the Skreeans in this episode of DS9.  Were the Bajorans right to say no, and were the Skrreea being too picky in their search for Kentanna?

Kelvin, Amy and Christos argue the case for the defence and the prosecution as the Federation, and its proxy, Captain Nahle Ake are put on trial by Nus Braka, in the season one finale of Starfleet Academy.  Listen to our verdict on the courtroom drama and also what we think of Reno in the Captain’s chair aboard the USS Athena.

Kelvin, Amy and Christos review TNG Unnatural Selection, in Part 8 of our Genetic Engineering series. We consider the convenient absence of reference to the generic engineering ban in the Federation, Pulaski’s relationships with the crew and we even zhuzh the episode to see if Beverly Crusher would’ve handled matters differently, had she been around.

It’s Pride Month and Kelvin, Christos and Ben take a moment to consider the last 12 months in Star Trek from the LGBTQ+ perspective.  How have the queer community been represented within the franchise, what’s been the reactions and how do we feel about the diversity and representation within Star Trek right now.

To conclude our season of Borg-centric episodes, Kelvin, Christos and Ben discuss Regeneration from the second season of Enterprise.  The episode that supposedly made the Borg scary once again.  Was the episode a fitting nod to Star Trek: First Contact, or a desperate ratings grab from a seemingly failing part of the franchise?  Listen to find out, and remember, resistance is futile.
