This week on Big Bi+ Questions, we boldly go where plenty of fandom debates have gone before… into the universe of Star Trek and queer representation on television.

Tamzyn is joined by Little Jase, Raena, Stevie, Clayton from Geeks Out, and special guest Jon from Hide & Seek. With Raena stepping in as our resident “Trekspert”, we explore how Star Trek has approached gender, sexuality and identity across the decades — from early allegory and coded storytelling to the openly queer characters we’re seeing today.

We chat about the risks sci-fi has taken to explore identity, the moments that pushed boundaries (and the ones that didn’t quite land), and why Star Trek has often been ahead of its time when it comes to imagining more inclusive futures.

And to wrap things up, everyone around the table shares their two favourite TV shows featuring queer representation — with some heartfelt, surprising and very nerdy picks.

Set phasers to fabulous — this one’s for the Trekkies and the queers.
