We say goodbye to Talking Trek with this episode, and we couldn't have done it without Talking Trek and Talking Who mainstay Abby Denton! Unfortunately we are ending with an insane backdoor pilot to a different show our regulars are barely in, but we have a very fun discussion all the same. Thank you all for listening!

Star Trek mashes together the Roman Empire and "modern" (i.e. 1960s) TV production in this wild episode. Anthony Strand returns to the podcast to discuss Spock and McCoy banter and mythology inspired advertising in our episode on "Bread and Circuses".

Captain Kirk goes up against the 60s version of a techbro and proves that computers aren't all that cracked up to be in "The Ultimate Computer". Returning guest Bri Marino joins us to discuss!

Chris Andersen of Your Favorite Bad Movie Podcast joins us to talk the incredibly insane "The Omega Glory", a Gene Roddenberry script that was left on the shelf for two years before being filmed and probably should have stayed there.

Energy beings from Andromeda experience what it means to be human, as first time guest Andrew Daar joins us to discuss "By Any Other Name".

Plus, an announcement at the top of the show! 

An unfortunately timely episode of Star Trek is discussed this week as we go into "Patterns of Force". New guest Ramona Donohue joins us as we talk about whether it is timely, toothless, or possibly both. Listen now!

Giant glowing orbs are doing body swaps in this cerebral and intriguing episode of Star Trek. Val McKenna rejoins us to talk all about that.

Star Trek does a big Vietnam war allegory, only it's muddled by a scheming matriarch, brainwashing plants, and an alien gorilla.

Joe DeAngelis returns to talk A Private Little War!

First time guest and actual scientist Liz Lotsof brings her expertise to help study a giant energy draining space amoeba as we discuss "The Immunity Syndrome"!

Listen to us chat about how this is a great episode for everyone, but especially Spock, and how fun it is to see the entire cast act very tired.

In this episode of Talking Trek, we discuss Kirk going native as the Enterprise crew encounters a planet imitating 1920s Chicago in "A Piece of the Action".

A lot of silliness and commitment to the bit ensues, as we have Chris Dole (Arden, My Big Score) back on the pod to get a piece of THIS action.
