There are 950 episodes of Star Trek. Some are good, some are great, and the rest are ones we'll watch because why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad it's still good.&nbsp;Join Bryan and Kristen (and the occasional special guest) as they grade episodes from every series by asking specific questions like "What part of the story will they teach at Starfleet Academy?" "What are the Best Trek Tropes in the episode?" "What's the most cosplayable character or moment?" and many more in order to arrive at a final judgment of TREK, MARRY, or KILL. It's more fun than playing F***, Marry, Kill because it's about Star Trek!Keep track of our grades at www.trekmarrykillpod.comThis show is not affiliated with Paramount, Viacom, CBS Television Studios, Roddenberry Entertainment, or Secret Hideout Productions.&nbsp;Our theme music is "70's Synth Funk Jam" by Phill_Dillow on Pixabay.
