Strangers and Aliens: Science Fiction & Fantasy from a Christian Perspective

It’s part two!

Dr. Jayce, Ben, and Steve continue their conversation about what they love (and hate) about Star Trek.

We’d love to hear from you about YOUR favorite captains, YOUR favorite series, YOUR favorite ships, YOUR favorite crew! E-mail us at [email protected]. If you’d like, you can even record a short MP3 (try to keep it around 3 minutes long). We’d love to use it in the show for our mailbag segment!

Next episode: a weekend of release episode about The Avengers movie!

Captain Kirk. Captain Picard.

Two different eras of television. Two different eras of Star Trek.

Two different command styles. Two different acting styles.

Two different crews. Two different ships.

Two different storylines. Two different hairlines. Two different waistlines.

And for fans of science fiction, two different opinions.

In this episode, we discuss . . . debate? . . . argue? . . . the different Star Trek series. But, let’s face it, most of the time is going to be spent on Captain Kirk and Captain Picard.

This is part one of the conversation — we talk about the acting styles of Shatner and Stewart (and the others) and Kirk and Picard’s crews (and some of the others) and out favorite ships in Trek.

Next episode, we will talk about the captains themselves, and also about why we like these guys so much.

Dr. Jayce wrote an article, tipping his hand, about his dream Trek crew. Ben tipped his hand by having his caricature dressed in command gold, below.

So sit back, listen, and if you have anything you’d like to add to the conversation you can e-mail us at podcast (at) strangersandaliens.com. Or, if you are so inclined, you could read your comments and record it as an MP#. We’d love for you to join the conversation!

Also, check out the results of our Star Trek Captain poll . . .

And our review of the documentary CAPTAINS, which has William Shatner interviewing all the other captains from Trek.
