Captain’s Log, Stardate 45047.2. With Q’s “Adventures of Robin Hood” fantasy behind us, we move on to Season 5’s “Darmok”, an episode that showcases, at least in this Captain’s opinion, the best qualities of Star Trek, which include diplomacy, understanding, and incomprehensible techno-babble.

I’m your host and Captain, Dave, and joining me are fellow Trek fans and linguistic experts, Mike and Jackie.

Topics covered in this assignment include the prospect of our language evolving (or de-evolving) into a series of gifs and memes; we laugh in disbelief at the Predator-esque Beast of El-Adrel; and finally, we ponder if there will ever be a world where well shot action and high minded ideals can actually coexist in Star Trek.
