Brother Date

A Tense Submarine Drama, a Holodeck Romance, a Crotchety Old Coot, a Genocidal Scientist, and a Facefull of Boobs this week, week 14 of our special Star Trek report.

It's mostly soul music and James Bond today, oddly. Though the mailbag does get a look-in. It turns out Matt's seen nearly every James Bond movie, and Judah's seen about four.

The Conscience of the King | Angel One | The Storyteller | Faces | Sleeping Dogs

No mail in the mailbag this week, so we just went wild on Motown.

The Menagerie Part II, Datalore, Battle Lines, Cathexis, and Dear Doctor go head to head (to head to head to head) in week 12 of our Star Trek comparison project. Don't peek at the spreadsheet and spoil the fun.

Saying goodbye to a hero is always hard. Plus weird coworkers and sports talk.

On the table to discuss this week: The Menagerie I (TOS); The Big Goodbye (TNG); Vortex (DS9); Heroes and Demons (VOY); Silent Enemy (ENT). Who will win the battle of week 11?

Why did rapping to the beat so disorient the musicians of 1978-1982 that the only reasonable association they could make was with Aliens?

Which was the best 10th episode of a Star Trek Series? The Corbomite Maneuver? Haven? The Nagus? State of Flux? Cold Front? We spend damn near 3 hours deciding on this week's Brother Date.

First we do a little mailbag. Then we talk about Pokemon, which Matt has just gotten into. Then we dive into the meat of the episode: which NES game had the best music? Did you guess one of the Mega Mans? Then you are wrong.
