The Animated Series
Let's talk Spoilers
Not much except the actual episodes. These two are short and sweet and easy to follow.

Let's Talk Episode
In this cartoon filled episode of Star Trek, Andy and Jessica go over both Yesteryear:

* The time travel doesn't really make sense, but oh well
* End of life discussions for both kids and adults
* Spock's advice to his younger self, and what Andy and Jessica would tell themselves as kids
* Spock's replacement (Thalen) - does he give up too easily?

and The Lorelei Signal:

* The Enterprise is stupid and the men in this episode are stupid... in Jessica's opinion
* Redskirts--Uhura's awesome but still has to wait for permission from the men in charge
* Sexism and woman empowerment in Andy's life




Jessica's Rating



Yesteryear
4 of 5 heroic sehlats




The Lorelei Signal
2 of 5 life-draining headbands





Let's talk Trek

* What people find offensive changes: LGBTQIA and how Star Trek misses the mark with Lorelei Signal
* Today's disconnected society needs Star Trek


Andy’s Suggestions
All of the Animated Series! It's just easy. Sit down and binge to your heart's content.




Next Up:
Bonus Episodes! We're going to be watching the Wrath of Khan. After that, another bonus movie, The Undiscovered Country.

Alright, this is just Andy's way of sneaking more Star Trek into the 52 without having to count it. If you'd like to skip, of course, you can to The Next Generation. But we highly recommend watching these movies!
