Trek Marry Kill

Our first regular episode kicks off a look at all the Star Trek pilot episodes. 

MEET CAPTAIN PIKE and the crew of the Enterprise *before* Captain Kirk took command. In this episode, Bryan and Kristen examine the first episode of the newest Star Trek series and try to figure out if it's a sequel to Star Trek: Discovery, a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, an alternate timeline, or all of the above. 

The Enterprise voyages to a pre-warp civilization to locate a lost survey team led by their own first officer, Number One. They discover this planet has developed a warp bomb, and when they uncover the how and why of it, Captain Pike decides it's time to break Starfleet's General Order one.

Will Bryan and Kristen Trek, Marry, or Kill this one?

WELCOME TO TREK, MARRY, KILL! We're another modest Star Trek podcast with a modest goal: to determine which episodes devoted fans and curious viewers should find and "Marry," which are good enough to "Trek" out again and again, and which episodes we should "Kill," but only in the metaphorical sense; because, let's be honest: even when Star Trek is bad, it's still pretty good.

In this initial episode, meet your hosts, Bryan and Kristen. They'll discuss their relationship with the franchise, which episodes they're probably NOT going to cover, and go over all the criteria they'll be using to determine which label -- Trek, Marry, Kill -- a given episode deserves. And then stick around for two more episodes for our premiere week!

ALERT! We use strong language, particularly when it comes to talking about F***, Marry, Kill, the schoolyard game upon which this show is based.
