Things go crazy on the Enterprise - and in the podcast studio. That's right folks - this is the "It's Got Star Trek battles a wicked summer storm" episode! Join your frightened hosts as they discuss cool things in this episode, and some other things that maybe weren't as cool but still not a big deal, and also some talk about beautiful sci-fi visuals. Then a storm attacks our power and we fight back as best we can! In this case, that means reconvening a few days later remotely using poor quality equipment and squeeze out the last segment of the podcast. Prepare yourselves for an intense, exciting, brilliant, and ultimately confusing and hard to follow episode of IGST!!
Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!
Here is the link to the teaser trailer for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country that Patrick talked about during the episode. Patrick asserts that this is one of the best trailers ever produced. Patrick still gets the same full-body shivers watching the trailer today that he got seeing among the front matter of a video cassette in early 1991. Patrick is getting similar shivers just thinking about it as he writes about himself in the third-person. Patrick enjoys tingly body sensations brought on by various stimuli, including - but not limited to - really good commercials. Oh, I almost forgot, here's the actual link:

Note that there are versions of this teaser trailer online with better visual quality, but they all crop the 4:3 to 16:9, which disrupts the pacing of the images displayed on...hmm...well...no spoilers, but you'll see what I mean when you watch it. I'm Patrick - I've dispensed with the third-person because it was feeling pretentious and unnecessarily cumbersome given the amount of prose I've ended up writing. Anyway, check out the higher-resolution clips after you watch the above and form your own judgments. Cheers!
Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' fourth season with our discussion of "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass"
Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
