This week, we're joined by third host Genevieve and Trekenomics author Manu Saaida (@trekenomics) to talk about work in Star Trek, in a wide-reaching and tangential chat that includes discourse around french waiters, land communes, and, uh,  kibbutzes. Business as usual.

This week, we're joined by clay (@theIconstable) to talk about "Mirror Mirror", in which Kirk and the gang get swapped with their counterparts from the vicious, violent and worryingly camp Mirror Universe. We talk about Nazism a lot, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

This week, we're joined by resident Borg expert Hye (@raijuTheHyeju) to talk about the Borg, and their journey from terrifying hive mind to the Cyborg Ellen DeGeneres show. We also talk about Picard Season 2 a lot, so if you don't wanna hear that, you've been warned.

This week, we're joined by menace to society and official 'friend' of the podcast Terry (@telthetrekkie) to talk about Enterprise's "Oasis", in which the gang meets the crew of a stranded ship who all turn out to be holograms. It's not very interesting, so we talk about Tractors and why Enterprise was crap instead. 

This week, we're joined by the brilliant Kate (@kate_minson) to talk about DS9's return to grace, in which (for some reason) Major Kira helps Dukat become a pirate so he can take the fight to the Klingons. Also his wife left him for another Gul, which is hilarious.

This week we're joined by Rob to talk about Voyager's twisted, in which the ship gets contorted by a subspace-distortion thing, and we spend 40 minutes watching our characters walk around a set of uniquelly forgettable corridors. Even worse, Neelix is there.

This week we're joined by the marvelous Rebecca (@pencilscratchin) to talk about DS9's 'Little Green Men', in which Quark, Rom and Nog accidentally time travel to 1947. Also, we argue about whether Rom is a DILF. God know why.

This week, John and Olivia are joined by Jo and Matthew of the Terok Noir podcast (@teroknoir) to talk about DS9's 'Sons and Daughters', in which Worf is terrible to his son during the Dominion War. Shockingly, this is normal behavior for Worf, who has not told anyone about his son in five years. Normal. 

This week, John has escaped his handlers and organised an hour and half of Starship Pedantry with Star Trek Online's Thomas Marrone (@ThomastheCat) and Trek Central's Dom (@DomDParis). There are several complaints about Bunkbeds, Starship construction numbers, and whatever the hell a flagship is.

Normal Service will resume next week.

This week, John and Genevieve are joined by JD and Alyson to have a small (large) chat about what might happen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!
